;) yeah yeah lol I noticed a pretty considerable drop in acceleration and fuel economy when I got my 285's. I'm not doing nearly as much offroading since moving to socal, so I just want to align my tires with my actual use.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks!

Well that's an interesting idea. The tire shop told me they couldn't repair a sidewall puncture. Is there a secret handshake to get them to do it?

That's not a bad idea! Where do you think I should start the asking price?

Pics should be working now. :) I'm having trouble finding info about those tires on tirerack or consumer reports. Do you have a tire comparison website of choice?

Hey All! I finally got a puncture that my Firestone AT's couldn't shrug off (not for lack of trying, it was a big frickin nail and the tire stayed fully inflated until I removed it). I've had these tires for about 30k miles. I think they still have some life left (see pics), but once...

Good info! I like that HU, but it doesn't look like it has GPS functionality (which is somewhat of a priority for me). I'll be following your backup camera thread too. I'm still not sure which one I'm going to go with, or how much it really matters.

Thanks for the extra suggestion! When shopping for this thing, do places like Car Toys generally help? Or do they just push the crap with the highest markups? (Understanding that all car audio stuff is usually marked up.)

Thanks! I didn't mean for this to turn into a WTB thread, but I'll definitely PM you if Drunner's offer doesn't pan out. Back to the real intent of the thread, did you upgrade to a different sway bar, or did you just remove the OEM and run without it? Just wondering if I should be looking at...

I may take you up on that. Are they direct OEM replacements, or are they intended for use with a lift?

I'm looking to replace my OEM head unit with one that will support a backup camera. I'm not a huge audiophile, so I'm mostly interested in convenience features. Requirements: -Backup camera compatible (obviously) -Bluetooth connectivity for my iPhone (for calls and audio streaming) -Works...

Hey all, been a while. My runner is about to become my primary vehicle again, and I'm looking to make it a bit more drivable on the roads. A few years ago, I removed my front sway bar to soften the ride a bit (had just installed my OME 885's and they were a bit stiff). They've since...

Hey all! I've got a sheet of lexan polycarbonate that I used a portion of for my custom faring. What's left is about 48" x 9.5". More than enough for another custom faring. We're moving out of state on Tuesday (8/18), so this needs to get picked up, fast. Hit me up on email if you're...

Thanks, Nuclear. The plan at this point is to drive it to work once every 2-3 weeks. That's about a 20-minute drive, one way, with both surface streets and highway. I can also throw it into 4wd for the last 5 minutes on the surface streets to help keep it in shape. As for the fluids, since...

So I think I've finally narrowed down an annoying oil leak to the front differential, driver side axle seal. Now I'm trying to decide what to do about it. I've read a few threads on here about replacing the entire axle with and without replacing that seal. The process doesn't seem that...
