They look great either way!

Do you have a current photo with the plastidip removed?

Quick question about your rims. Did you buy them blacked out or did you paint/coat them yourself? As I said in my other reply, they look great!

I don't plan on lifting my 4Runner - but I am going to be replacing factory struts/shocks with the adjustable Bilstein 5100s. And, by the way, you hit the nail on the head about tires being slick in the rain - that's one of my main concerns and is one of the reasons I'm getting rid of my Nitto...

Hello folks, I have a tire question, a pretty specific question about two tires and two tires only. :) Falken Wildpeak AT3 v. Pathfinder AT (Discount Tire brand made by Hankook, similar to the Dynapro AT2) in 265/65 or 70/R17. I'd like to hear opinions, good or bad, on each of these tires...

Hi folks. I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! Here are my 2 quick HVAC questions: 1. On a 4th gen, is there a way to have the fan/blower on without either the A/C or heat on? I.e., just blowing the ambient air temp? 2. For some reason, the recirc button is on whenever I start my '08...

I really liked your post. You said to enjoy it - and I did. The photos and the narration were great. It made me feel both like I was along for the ride and that I want to do a trip like this myself sometime. Well done.

I have to join the others who have responded to this post and echo their comments. What a great article. You write well and your photos reflect a good eye for shots that will be memorable to you and also enhance your story. Also, I'd be remiss if I didn't give some kudos for your service...

Good question! My answer is that, in all honesty, I'm not completely sure what I want! I'm still pretty new to the game. What I want to accomplish is this: I think I want to level the slightly nose-down stance of my truck. I don't know if there's a concrete, practical reason to do this; it...

Howdy folks. I would appreciate some recommendations for a modest leveling kit, likely a 2/1. I'd like to keep the price modest too - but fully understand that sometimes "you get what you pay for." Thus, I don't necessarily want the cheapest thing out there either. Thanks in advance.

:biggrin2::biggrin2: It still boggles my mind that this could even happen in the first place! I mean, isn't 4wd one of the first things that should come up in the conversation? "Hi, can I help you?" "I'm looking at Jeeps and 4Runners." "Do you mind if I ask you what you intend to do with it...

What he said! I think it's incumbent upon the sales people to discuss all the major functions, features and systems of a vehicle so they (and management/ownership) can be sure the customer is getting what he or she wants. By the way, I'm not really calling the sales person a sleezebag and...

:welcome: Great looking rig! :thumb:

Howdy! :welcome: from a fellow, but further west, mid-westerner!

:hello: Great looking truck! As the proud owner of a 4th gen, I have no problem saying that aesthetically 3rd gens are my favorite! Welcome to the forum. I haven't been a member that long but it's already been a very valuable source! :thumb:
