My '06 Limited has 109,000. I won't be buying a 5th gen. I'd like to drive mine for a few more years and see what the 6th gen has to offer. Assuming it's still BOF and not absolutely hideous, I will buy one. No clue what interior mirrors you all are talking about! I guess the limited doesn't...

I don't know how you guys pull big boats with the 4Runner. I tow my Kawasaki Mule on a small trailer a few times per year to go hunting....it is like I'm pulling a 747 on uphill stretches. Not fun on long trips.

I went ahead and ordered the Hankooks. Around $650 for all 4 from Amazon. I appreciate the opinions. My truck doesn't see any serious off road use (some general sloppy field stuff around my farm is about it.) I primarily use it to haul my dog, occasionally pull a small trailer, and get to work...

Thanks for the replies. Been reading up on the Hankooks. They seem really well-received..and cheap!

I have about 60k miles on my BFGs, and they are starting to feel a little slippery. I had sidewall damage in one about 8 months ago, and I replaced the one tire. So I was considering moving to Nitto Terra Grapplers, but had questions. My BFGs are 265/65s, rims are stock Limited 18s. I have a...

Haha, not quite. She said she was going to try it too after I came across. I stopped and made sure she was going to make it...she did.

Fell in love with my '06 again this morning! 0530, pitch dark outside, driving rain. Bridge on my country road was piled about 3.5 feet high with debris from flash flooding. A lady was trying to clear some of it with a shovel so she could get through in her Chevy pick up. I told her I was going...

If they were 17s, I'd pick them up tomorrow! Thanks though.

I drove a '06 911S cabriolet for several years. Don't be afraid of the maintenance costs. Of all the high end marques, Porsches are the most reliable. In four years, I took it to the shop one time for a faulty water pump. I think the 30k mile service with new plugs and the whole shebang was...

Yes, my 18s are the originals. I browsed around a bit today, and it did seem like some 16s may not work with the Limited. I'm leaning towards 17s. Thought I had some 17 inch FJ wheels today, but local guy sold them:ybrick: The search continues....

Thank you for the recommendations. I was looking at some local 17 inch FJ rims on Craigslist...may hold off now and look at some 16s. Yeah, I know KY isn't known for blizzards, but we got a few inches several times last year and I wasn't blown away by the BFG's snow performance. Seemed like...

I'd like to buy a dedicated wheel/snow tire set for my '06 Limited 4wd. I don't NEED them (I run BFG ATs and have never really had trouble), but being able to pop on true snows is attractive to me...I live in the sticks and have a job where I pretty much have to get to work no matter what...

OK, I now wish that this was the color of my 4th gen. Incredibly sharp!

Thanks guys. I'll torch it tomorrow.

Then I think mine is just rusted to hell like the rest of the undercarriage. Would sure make working on the thing more fun if it weren't for all the rust. Snapped a bolt off doing the rear sway bar bushings and had to drill it out of the bracket. Ugh. Would taking the wheel off and jacking the...
