So I went ahead and called Thule and got ahold of somebody pretty quickly (that was nice and unexpected). She did inform me that the underslotting on the new WingBars is no different than that of the old AeroBlades; however the minimum spread for mounting the 60" bars is apparently 42.75", and...

Oh, I was just planning to order exactly what I want from the website. My concern was that I saw a comment on a review somewhere that suggested that you may not be able to mount the new bars with large overhangs. That maybe the "mount points" or whatever that connects them to the foot pack may...

So Thule changed the Aeroblade bars to the Wingbars recently. I want to outfit my 2012 Trail Edition with a set of Aeroblades with the Crossroad FootPack. However, Thule recommends the 53" bars, and I would much prefer the 60" bars. I know I've seen people in the past with the longer bars...

So you tie off to that instead of the tow mounts, which makes sense, but what do you tie from those loops to the canoe? Do you just use rope and knots that you tie, or are you using a cam buckle strap? I know I don't want to use a ratchet strap since they're too easy to overtighten and damage...

Hey guys, I finally got my hands on a kayak (great deal on Craigslist for a barely used yak. It's a biggun though. Wilderness Systems Ride 135...13' 6" yak coming in at over 80# unloaded. Getting it onto the roof wasn't bad with 2 guys, but by myself I think I'm gonna go the route of getting...

I've had my '12 TE for over 2 years now and have put over 55k miles on it. Overall I love the truck and have had no real issues with it. The one thing that has remained an annoyance for me (and I've just dealt with it) is the cup holders. They just don't seem to work worth a crap for me...

Tomorrow will make 1 week since I got my Shoreline Blue TE. I had to order it from almost 2000 miles away, but I am so glad I did. LOVE this truck so far. KDSS is definitely awesome. I'm coming from an '02 SR5 Sport 4Runner (Which I also loved), but the ride is night and day better in this...

I just paid $37,500 for my 2012 Shoreline Blue TE w/ KDSS. Only other option was the all weather floor mats. That price includes all dealer fees, but no tax.

Finally got around to get a picture uploaded. Washed it this afternoon and snapped this. LOVE the car and love the color through the first 150 miles or so :) I cannot wait to get some nicer weather so I can see it in full sunshine. Plus I need to give it a good long washing and wax! But...

Glad to see so many people in love with the color as much as I am! Unfortunately I did NOT call in sick today, so pics will have to wait. Tomorrow is give the truck a good bath day, then gonna get some pictures to post and then show it off to friends and family! I'm so in love with it so...

I figured I'd get that. I didn't get any since it was dark by the time I got home. It needs a good bath before getting pictures taken too!

2012 Shoreline Blue TE w/ KDSS, no nav. I had to order from Idaho to get what I wanted (dealers around here couldn't arrange a trade with a dealership so far away) so I had to have it shipped out here. So glad I did because I got EXACTLY the truck I wanted :) The driver of the shipping...

I drove an MR2 through HS & College, before I bought my 2002 4Runner. I miss that car so much, and seriously considered buying another one, but I just can't justify it anymore. To find one that hasn't been modded to hell and is still in good shape you're looking at WAY too much money for a 20...

Sweet, congrats! My 2012 Trail is supposed to be picked up from the dealership in Idaho tomorrow to get on a truck. It is estimated to be here this weekend. Oh I hope they come through on that estimate! :D

I agreed on Friday to purchase a 2012 Trail with KDSS, all weather mats, and no nav for $37,500. That includes all bs dealer fees, but no tax since I'm out of state and will have to pay that when I register it in state. I also was hung up on Shoreline Blue, so I have to pay about $1000 to...
