MPG drop with lift & tires
Someone brought up an important point. Since the mpg is computed using the recorded mileage driven, the odometer readings should be properly checked and calibrated before trying to determine the mpg with a given set of tires. The vehicle should be driven between two marked mileage posts on an...- ffongge

MPG drop with lift & tires
Last Dec 2007 I changed my stock Bridgestone tires for a new set of BFG LT 265/70 R16 A/T tires. I shortly have noticed a significant drop in MPG from the normal ~21 mpg down to about 18 mpg for my normal combined city street and freeway driving. I also noticed drop from ~22 to 18.5 mpg for...- ffongge

Does the 4th Gen look better with a Spoiler?
Yes! After having my 4R for nearly 2 years, I ordered a rear spoiler from SpoilerFactory and installed it to my 4R about a month ago. It now looks really cool. :) Not just for looks, but I hope it will help reduce the amount of road dust that gets on the tailgate when driving through dirt...
