Need new tires for my 5th Gen. I've narrowed it down to a couple of models. One is the WILDPEAK A/T3W. Lots of great reviews. But, they're heavy. What I'm wondering is if anyone has first hand experience with them, and what fuel efficiency reduction you experienced. I'm running 285/70 R17, on...

Just need to attach a cable to lock it up.

Might be able to attach some sort of cable loop.

The shovel is very lightweight, and if I have an impact strong enough to rip a bolted Quick Fist out of that panel, I probably have more things to worry about at that point. But I will consider this, and thanks for the input.

Another simple storage mod, this time for my small shovel. Sorry for the crappy pic.

Things have been rough down in TX. He did respond to my email from this morning, and is checking the status. I should hear from him again soon.

Anybody ever have trouble getting hold of Jasontamu? Was talking with him last week, and made payment. Now, nothing...?

May take a bunch of us doing this. Mine has to have a 1K check on the lift, and I'll have my dealer do the same.

Saker, did you have any sort of feeling like they're receptive to criticism?

It's not like Toyota has a stellar track record of listening to their loyal fan base and being welcome to innovation. FFS, they never even bothered with heated mirrors in the FJ Cruiser. ETA: And yes, my '21 TRD OR has the same artifacts in the light pattern.

Pretty simple. Measured where I wanted to mount, drilled a couple of holes, and #10 screws with a nut. Those wheels are freaking beautiful. I'm ignorant, what are TE wheels? Those would look great on my Nautical Blue.

Got a couple of pics yesterday.

Did a simple mod today. Put a couple of Quick Fists on the rear hatch cover to hold my snow brush. It's curved, so sits there nicely, and now won't slide around.

Screw it, bro. Let's look at a good weekend, we'll figure somewhere in the middle, and I'll bring a bottle of bourbon and tools.

Sorry this happened, and you certainly did the right thing getting an attorney since you were injured. To be frank, if I were you, I'd tell my lawyer to put the screws to that company since the owner was such a dick. Be sure to discuss pain and suffering with your lawyer. Unfortunately for me...
