Very helpful! Thanks!

It sounds like a creampuff, but they're trying to take your head off (meaning a HUGE front end profit).... If possible, find out why the mileage is so low, whether it's local trade, was ever used as a rental, or if they picked it up at auction. Carfax will show you this... Unless you have to...

I should have mentioned that I have an aftermarket hitch insalled, not OEM....hmm... now I'm going to check how close it gets to the panhard bar, but I'm almost positive that mine doesn't rub..

x2....Nothing wrong with TRD...

I just bought a PA rig, too. Mine was a bit nastier underneath than yours..it's a '97. Get what you can now, but you're still in good shape!

It fits on mine...I've heard some have trouble due to the hitch or the exhaust, but not a problem for me..

Looks like you've had a mild winter, too! Heck, it's acting like spring around here... Great pic

Looking for pics...came across this....me likey...

X2!! All three in ala Ted Nugent zebra stripe pattern....If I can grow a pair, that's MY plan!!!

Now THOSE are good points! You're right...I save money where I can, but spend $$ on things I think are worth it..We may have different perspectives on TW's ( I truly think that they are every bit as safe as any new tire), but I can agree in principle with the above sentiments. I will go through...

LOL...that's awesome about your "financial means" that allows you to throw money away on overpriced, overhyped "new" tires. Meanwhile, us "Po Folk" will continue to save a buttload of cash driving on our retreads, thank you very much.. P.S. If you ever fall on tough times and want to save a...

Yes, I regularly pull trailers of various weight (horses, boats, snowmobiles ,etc) with my SC'd 3.4 97 4runner. I also have the URD fuel upgrade kit and 2.2" pulley. I currently have 4.10 gears, and 285/75R16 tires. My longest pull so far was @300 mi w/ tandem axle horse trailer over...

That's pretty much where I was leading to with the DOT comment...thanx My point is that NO evidence exists that retreads fail at a much higher rates than new tires.. because it simply doesn't happen... Personal choices are awesome and to each their own....In my own research, after wading...

Hey, I'm all about learning...please show me where Ï can confirm that TW's have a much higher chance of a blowout, compared to a new tire...does the DOT know about this? OMG....I just realized that I'm running these dangerous retreads on stock 7" wheels....I'm sooo scroomed..LOL

Well, all I can say is that I'm VERY impressed with TW so far.. and I'm in no way worried about blowing a tire and killing everyone in sight.. And I saved much more than $300... When people start claiming that you are risking your life using TW's without anything to back up the claims ...well...
