    AC Issue Thread

    Same Same here, except the right two vents blow cold and the driver side 2 dash vents blow room. Recharged the system two times for $150 each time and it lasts 6 months max. Could my issue also be this relay?

    Any news/rumors/updates/facts on 6th gen/2018 4Runner?

    Same ? Came here to ask the same question. '05 with 170k mi is starting to show her age a bit. Expecting the 2018 to be a remodel since we are already 1 year longer than normal gen length (7 yrs).

    New Tires - Firestone Destination ATs - 265/70 installed w/ level kit

    Update Wanted to give a much deserved at-a-boy to these tires. Went to the WNC mountains a few weekends ago, stayed in a mountain lake house with a really steep driveway (25% grade give or take) that led to another really steep road up to the highway(20%). Snowed 4 inches or so overnight and...

    New Tires - Firestone Destination ATs - 265/70 installed w/ level kit

    The mpg drop was about what I expected. For what it's worth my computer dash read out says that after a fill up I have about 345 miles to go where it used to say about 405 before the 70 tires. I love love love the look, though. It's much closer to level, as desired, the nose is now "off the...

    **SOLD** 4 Michelin Cross Terrains 5-6/32s

    Plenty of life left on these Michelin Cross Terrains (~5.5/32s). Rotated religiously at 5k miles. 3.5 yrs old. Never punctured, blown, plugged, anything. Ran perfect, they just got replaced by a larger ratio. I'd say 15k mi. left on these minimum. Make offer. In S. Carolina; will ship if...

    New Tires - Firestone Destination ATs - 265/70 installed w/ level kit

    Went from 265/65 Mich Cross Terrains to 265/70 Firestone Destination ATs. I also have a 1 1/4" front end cornfed leveling spacer lift. First off - Cross Terrains were good. 45k trouble free, stress free, flat tire free and even-wearing miles. Handled well, very hydroplane resistant, and...

    Opinions on General Grabber AT2 265/70/17?

    This tire was consumer reports worst rated AT tire of all they tested in their last go 'round. Take it for what it's worth. Looks like a good tire and a good value to me though. Let us know what you think.

    Nitto Terra Grappler AT vs. Firestone Destinations AT

    I know right. So many open ended threads in here. What did you choose and hows the time been with them so far? I just put on 265/70 Dest. ATs last week. Not enough mileage on them yet to give a full review but they are fantastic so far. Amazing value to boot.
