    Shrockworks Rock Sliders 5th Gen lead time?

    I went through this with them "back when"--I don't remember how many months (not weeks) it was before I finally got them. Great quality but too long a wait. Take a look at the BudBuilts--I have the hidden winch mount and BB armor and if I'd known then what I know now I'd have the BB bump out...

    2011 4runner - does your cruise control suck too?

    One more ditto to what everyone else has been saying. i had a 4th gen--loved everything about it except the cruise. I had high hopes with technology changing like it has that the cc would perform at least a little better. Nope! On the same 2 lane my Ford Edge (daily driver/highway car) holds...

    Passenger window not closing at first...

    Had the same thing happen with mine--I was due in for service and when the dealer checked it it had quit doing that. I didn't totally follow him but he pretty much said that they will do that sometimes but then "self adjust" which apparently they did. This was back in the spring and it...

    BudBuilt - Anyone have any success contacting them?

    Keep calling--he has email but apparently spends more time in the shop than checking email. While it's not always easy to reach him when you do he's super helpful and was good to his word on what he could ship when. Of the shops I've dealt with OW is tops for customer service (Andriess reads...

    FYI: Shorkworks Epic Group Buy #2

    I got the BB--Bud is great to talk with if you've got questions or special needs and he shipped QUICKLY

    5th Gen Wet Okole Discussion & Picture Thread

    I didn't take anything off or out--back seats went a lot easier and quicker than the front did. You can probably use something else but I bought the shampoo from them. First test on the install--cut the snot out of myself doing the front seats and the blood cleaned right up. Dog slobbers and...

    Gun locations

    Wet Okole seat cover with the pistol pocket--hangs off the front of the seat, keeps the pistol right there hidden but handy

    BudBuilt Sliders vs. Shrockworks Sliders???

    Same for me as GreerAZ--got the SW before i "discovered" BB. Good quality (just took forever to get so repeating if you're in a rush SW is frustrating to work with.) Bud was super helpful working on the skidplates and winch mount. BB is my def go to shop now--Likely will replace the SW w/BB...

    Chrysler bring diesel option to the Grand Cherokee

    One experience with Jeep diesels. Had the Liberty in the diesel version. Good reviews on the Italian engine, always loved a diesel so why not? Great little vehicle at first. Then came the service recalls to "upgrade software" Perfomance kept dropping, mileage kept dropping. Then the oil...

    Michelin LTX ms2

    As long as you air down for sand (18-20psi) it makes for a great sand tire. I've used it on other vehicles but not on my 4th Gen nor my 5th Gen. Switched from the Mich M/S to GY SilentArmors and persoally prefer the to the Mich. Great on road in rain, snow and ice and more than adequate for...

    less car for more money

    As the old man told me years ago..."they don't make things like they used to. But then they never did"

    BudBuilt Winch Plate Install Instructions?

    Just give Bud a call--not always easy to get a hold of him but when you do he's incredibly helpful! I'd say he's the model vendor others could take lessons from

    Which lift

    Repeating--depends on what you want to spend and why you're lifting. All good in their own way. Another second for Overland Warehouse (2.5") Made and tuned for the 4R and support that can't be beat.

    Weathertech Floormats?

    One more love them. WT Digifits were first on my buy list (right with the Wet Okole seat covers.) Couldn't be more pleased with either.

    2011 TE Bolt On Rock Sliders

    I got the SW--agree with the pricey but well built. Downside was 3 months from order to received. Got Budbuilt armor, winchmount (ordered) In hindsight probably would have gotten the BB kickout ones if I'd thought before i pulled the trigger. Comp quality--depends on the style and how...
