Sipes. It is all about sipes I think. With the increase in sipes, the better the traction on ice/hard pack. I think this is because smaller things in the same area have a greater surface area. This allows this separate but similar treads a chance to grip into the ice. I mean nothing is going...

I have said it in another thread as well. Duratracs are not good for ice or hard pack snow. They do not have enough sipes for that kind of traction. Deep know or something you can get them to dig into is great and on road is good as well. Just not hard pack.

I have duratracs and I don't think they are very good on HARD PACK snow/ice. I had a few braking issues with them activating the ABS and sliding past a turn. Not in an area where anything would have happened though. They are good in deeper stuff where they can get a bite. I just dont think they...

This is the first post Ive seen regarding the Sports having larger brakes. Is that true?

I also have a question, i know these are heavy and dont have much power but are they normally just turdy or slow going? I never drove a 4runner before and there are not many in my area to try, but its not fast. I am having an ASE friend drive it tomorrow what he thinks. No codes or anything...

I think the radiator was replaces once before I bought it, I topped it up last week. I think it is going somewhere, but the oil has always been fine looking. Never any drips under the truck and the exhaust never really smells sweet. However, I haven't lost any fora week or so now. Haven't...

Forgot about the belts. Those are all OEM new this year as well lol, maybe the end of last year. I will have to check the hoses and possibly get some new pads from Rockauto soon

Hey guys, I am going to be heading down to the Great Smoky Mountains in November. It is going to be 630 miles and I am sitting at 196,000 on the truck. I am sure it can make it but I just want to go over a few things I can before, I have about 2 weeks. I have recently changed oil and transfer...

You should call toyota and find out for sure.

Yeah, that is my major concern about getting LED's. They just dont dim like halogen lights and it is annoying because I generally keep my lights low because of rural driving. It isn't always the issue with who makes the LED either, it depends on how the dimming is controlled by the system.

Why You Shouldn't Get A Ceramic Coating - YouTube Here is a good video. This guy makes money from detailing and selling this stuff, so with him telling you it isn't a good idea if you don't have commitment is something.

That is not extreme at all. That is the bare minimum requirements for having a good ceramic coating last.

The rear speed sensors are easy to see from underneath the rear of the truck. They are right on the inside behind the parking brake linkage. They are round plastic bits with a tab going to the middle of the truck and one bolt going into it. You can also follow those lines up to the top of the...
