    4runner Did Amazing in 20" of snow

    snow in PA Here are 2 pics from driving around in about 12 inches of snow. It has Wrangler Silent Armors, which in my experience seem to perform about as well as the stock Dunlops in light snow and slush (up to a couple of inches). However, in the deeper, powdery snow these tires did great.

    AT tires for stock 4th gen

    wranglers I have the Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor and think they’re great AT tires for the use you described. They are relatively quiet on the road, which is what you said most of your use will be. I’ve used them in packed sand with no problems (without airing down) and on numerous fire...

    Gas Guage flaky today

    My gauge shows I'm near empty, then when I fill up it only takes only about 16 gallons. I just found TSB EG033-05 "Fuel Gauge Inaccuracy". It states high alcohol content (Ethanol) can make the gauge read wrong. It's a warranty repair for 60 months or 60,000 miles. It says it's only for '05...

    Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor on ice

    I can't say if another tire would have done better, but the GY was no better than dunlops. It's not an accurate comparison, but I used to have a suzuki side kick with dunlop at tires and it was better than the 4runner at stopping on ice. Of course the side kick is much lighter and didn't have...

    V8 Emblems

    the v8 embelem has little plastic tabs that connect it to the grill. I was going to remove mine, but found that it helps hide some of the stainless steel tubing for the AC.

    Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armor on ice

    Today was my first time with the wrangler silent armors on snow. We had a light dusting with some ice under it. I gently applied the brakes at a stop sign, antilock brakes activated, and I slid right on through into the intersection. I was in my neighborhood and driving very slowly. From...

    uhh so im a jackass and backed into a "tree"

    me too This summer I also crashed into a small pine tree in Wharton State Forest, backing off the trail to let someone pass. I swung out too wide and damaged the front. My stupidity cost me $1,700 that day. Perhaps we can get a class action lawsuit against those trees? Obviously they are a...

    MPG update Hi. After about 12 fill ups, my MPG has fallen only slightly with local driving, from an average of 15.5 with the Dunlops to 15.2 with the Wranglers. With all highway driving I
