My wait for my powdercoated Schrockworks sliders was about 10 weeks. Maybe 11. Shipping was $80 to Colorado. The kit is straightforward (and I love the slider design and construction). In my case, the kit was missing a few 1.5" bolts, necessitating a trip to the hardware store. Some of the...

Just saw this today at Mountain States Toyota in the Denver area. The grey looks great!

My Nittos were OK in the snow, but I was always in 4 HI whenever it got even a little bit slick. I didn't try airing them down. Having always had winter and summer wheels+tires for my other cars, I am going the same route with the 4Runner. Note -- I spend 2-3+ days a week near 8150' and...

Two things: 1) I had more slip-n-slide adventures on the Nittos over the past few days (cold temps, snow and ice), so I got some Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2s installed yesterday. I'm headed up to ski in a few and will report back on snow handling, etc. later. 2) The shop mounted and balanced the...

From a few weeks ago -- the area where I took this photo probably has two more feet of snow (and counting) on it. The Nittos do pretty well in the snow, but I'm considering getting dedicated snow wheels+tires. I spend a lot of my time up in the mountains, and this week, going up and down I-70...

I get the same just at ~60MPH. At my first service, they rebalanced and rotated the tires. It is happening again, 2,500 miles later. Since it seems to go away after I drive awhile, I'm wondering if it isn't the tires flat-spotting overnight. I had some Khumo or Sumitomo tires a few years ago on...

No rack/lights, but it had a snowboard/ski rack on it (with boards). Brand new with temp tags on it, but some stickers on the driver's side rear side window. I caught up to it around Georgetown and it dropped off at Silverthorn. Between my window tint and his, I couldn't really see the driver...

I shared a bit of I-70 westbound today with a Quicksand TRDP. The color looks MUCH better in person.

I got rub on L and R fender liners. A few minutes with a heat gun solved the issue -- I flattened out the little bulges where the tire was contacting. This is with stock wheels/tires. I've also got some flat, rally-style mudflaps I'm going to test fit soon.

I concur -- I drug my GF and Dad up to Piney Lake, then hit some of the side, logging roads along the way, noting a few, easy trails I need to hit next time (Red&White, etc.). My old mtn bike racing/training days came to mind and it was sad to realize that there is NO WAY (these days) I could...

Saw an Inferno TRDP at the Toyota dealer's lot on RT 7 (Tyson's) on Thursday afternoon as I was headed to IAD...

Fixed FIXED -- the reset procedure did the trick. Thank you all again.

Hey -- thanks to everyone else who chimed in. I'm going to test the reinitialization process once I get a chance and will report back. Lovin' these forums. Great crowd. Thank you!

BINGO!!! I am not able to test this until next week, but yes -- the battery was disconnected and these are the exact symptoms!!! I feel like a tool. I'm used to, ah, simpler systems. Not all this fancy stuff that needs reinitialization. :redface: Thanks in the meantime -- I'm 95% sure this...

Thank you, but no dice-- the fuses related to the doors are intact. There is a 30A fuse (Door P, I believe) that I couldn't pull and suspect it is locked in place in some way. So, either that is the culprit, or there are other issues. Any other thoughts?
