    Silver TE with black TE wheels

    Sorry to ask if you guys explained this in detail somewhere already, but, do you remove the tire form the rim to paint/plasti dip these? or just mask off the tire? and is it just a spray paint? how does it hold up? better then regular rattle can? Thanks.

    has anyone noticed this

    I too notice this on hilly back roads around my place. i normally switch to manual shift, and the problem goes away, that to me means it's not a hard pressed issue, more of an annoyance, and hopefully wont damage anything while we wait for them to fix it. I also notice the delay in gas...

    Best thing I ever did.....

    Best thing I ever did?- Sell my 2004 FX4 F150 and got a t4r!!! Seriously! The Ford was cool for about 45k miles, then Ford sends people to your house in the middle of the night to loosen everything on the truck! Road like a Harley on a bad stretch of road after about 50k miles... To each...

    Why would you go to a limited over and sr5

    I agree with Mike, I went SR5 over limited because with the opt package, I got- heated leather seats, and back up cam, and with the Icon or some other off road supension I think it will be a killer machine. Plus even Harper will tell you the aftermarket Pioneer HU he has is sooo much cooler...

    On the fence!

    I Drove the JGC, seemed nice, But I could not help wondering when the thing would turn into a trans nightmare with rust... :') LOL. Seriously, I think they are nice, but I noticed, at least around Philly area, They are priced like a limited or Trail, for the same features, so the SR5 had it all...

    On the fence!

    Hi Polishpiper, and welcome. I own the BP SR5 as well as a silver SR5. both gen5 The 4WD IS what you call - "TRUE", 4WD. it is a manual operation on the SR5 that you will physically grab a shift lever connected to the transfer case, and move from 2wd to 4wd to 4wd low if needed. you will not...

    Whistler RKT build thread

    Great look congrats! Is there any way for us here in the states to buy Canadian parts? I notice you guys get the, much better, black front and rear trim parts. I actually like the fender wells better on the US version in the silver, but I love the black trim. I know there are people who paint...

But I was comparing it to the FJ... I drove 6 in total. my wifes sr5, the other SR5 they had when we drove my wifes...

    Ride Quality Questions/ Observations.

    Thanks Seattle... 1000- I guess it depends on where you live, around here in PA, if there even was a trail available, it was full boat, so I probably could have ordered something and waited... but I had done that with the FJ and 3 months in I was ready to make it stop! :') I think for me the...

    Ride Quality Questions/ Observations.

    1911, no offence taken, I mean, your name is one of my favorite side arms, so you are cool in my book... I agree, the trail or limited would be a better ride, but as stated above, the check box for better handling meant you add A LOT of thousands to the bottom line... I probably would have a...

    Ride Quality Questions/ Observations.

    Right, Maybe that is what killed it for me. Seattlemike- I did drive the trail with KDSS, and I do agree body roll was waaay less, If it was an option for the SR5, I might have done it, but- I still feel KDSS seems like a lot of stuff moving, I mean cylinders, and fluids, and electronic...
