All seasons are just as good as winter tires on the ice and snow. JK I am putting Continental ExtremeWinterContact tires on Monday. Unfortunately the weather doesn't seem to be cooperating, :violin: so I might have to wait a while before I get to test them out in the snow/ice. Blizzaks have...

Bump: Has anybody heard anything from Gadget lately about the URD SC for 5th gen T4Rs? Not that I would want one. Who would want more power? How ridiculous...

Dedicated Winters: Safer, Better Performance on Ice, No Extra Cost Over Time I'll agree with the idea to go with dedicated winter tires on another set of wheels. I have used Blizzaks on several different vehicles over the years, including the same set on my wife's Scion tC for the past three...

I like it - looks exactly like mine. Except I had the exact opposite problem as you. When I had to replace the Explorer (after the second transmission rebuild, BTW), I was looking to get a Tahoe. She's the one that nudged me to get a 4runner. The weird thing is, now I'm the one that LOVES it and...

Okay, I'm pretty sure my wife thinks I'm weird, but that's not saying anything new... The new Continental ExtremeWinterContact tires are sitting in the dining room of my apartment lookin' pretty and ready for some inclimate weather action! :boxer: Why are they in my dining room? I can explain...

Did you also put spidertrax on? I'm really tempted to but haven't been able to decide to yet. I'm still worried about increased wear and tear, even though for the most part a lot of people on here seem to use them without issue. Anybody that has put spidertrax on decided to take them off...

Sh*t, the Dog and I are Bird Crazy! What better excuse to get these things offroad than to use it to get back to those hard to reach hunting spots? Woohoo! :party: Last two weekends I've loaded up the dog and hit up the public land in my area for ruffed grouse. Haven't hit anything yet though...

All I've got to say is, "Wow." Love it. I'm super jealous. I can't wait for my wife to get done with her graduate nursing program this winter so I can start doing some mods like this. It would be f***ing awesome to have lights like that for hunting trips! Good work, men!

17" Wheels Wanted Update: please disregard this post, as I found out last night I should have checked with the wife before heading down this road. (Aw shucks...) I WAS looking for a pair of 17" wheels. 2010+ SR5 wheels would have been preferred, but FJ or TE wheels (or other) would also have...

And you said you picked up an extra set of wheels for them too right? Where did you end up finding those, if you don't mind me asking?

How about something like this? These would be compatible with our 5th gen T4Rs, yes? 2009 Toyota Fj Cruiser Alloy Wheel 17 X 7.5 6 Spoke Chrome

So... if anybody is still checking this thread I thought I'd add my two cents and start contributing to discussions a little more as I mostly just read everyone else's usually pretty sensible information. I still have the OEM Bridgestone Dueler H/Ts on my '10 SR5 (how sad is that????) and the...

Wish the Wife Would Finish School Already... Oh man... I never thought about getting a bumper upgrade... until I saw this Shrockworks prototype. I can't help but think how awesome it would be to upgrade my SR5 with a suspension lift, shrockworks sliders, this bumper, and some better off road...

:naughty: I was hoping someone would say that. Hehehe... But honestly, what if you actually do get in an accident (whether it's because of the extra power of the SC or not) and the insurance company finds out you have it? Does that void your coverage?

:shrug:
