I commonly have it at 30-35 if I'm at highway speeds, sub-45mph I can sometimes get away with anywhere from 20-30.

Welcome from another North Carolinian!

What in the world...

Congrats on your new ownership! The one thing I would do if I bought a new 4R, would be to start some sort of undercoating regiment. I use fluid film on my 2007, and apply a healthy coat about twice a year. If you start early on in the life of the vehicle, you'll be able to avoid rust for quite...

If I had access right now to a 1st gen I'd take some measurements for you... One guy I know of that may be able to help, if no one gets back to you on this thread, is "key panels". Don't think he's on this forum, but he is on instagram as "keyappstate2.0" and etsy as "keypanels". He makes...

Welcome! That's a beautiful 4R.

Can't believe I'm just seeing this thread now, but I'm currently making (and selling) custom-engraved shift knobs. I'm also selling combo kits with transfer case knobs for those who have manual TC's. Pictures of all these products are on the site via my signature, but here's a couple below as well:

Received my first (of apparently two!) gifts this past week. Huge thank you to my SS for this, there's some good stuff in here including bandages, snips, antibacterial wipes, and an emergency blanket. It will be nice to keep it in the rig for those times I decide to go adventuring in the middle...

'07 in Shadow Grey Mica here; It's been garage kept here and there for various amounts of time, but either way I've always kept a good coat of wax on it. Paint is looking good after 13 years!

Welcome! Sounds like your runner is about to be set up real nice.

I'm in!

I've had my Beck Arnley's on for about a year to date now, so far they've held up.

Welcome! That's an awesome rig, and I'm jealous of you guys out west. We don't have nearly the amount of wheeling back east (plus you don't have to worry about rust out there!)

Thai, what makes you say that? (not meaning to sound aggressive, just genuinely want to know). Does the 5th gen have better approach/departure angles or is it that the aftermarket is better? I've found myself wondering the same, over which would be a better general off-roader.

Lets see... Rear right in the trunk area: car vacuum attachments Rear left in the trunk area: flathead and phillips screwdrivers, oil pan drain bolt washers Center console: I 3D-printed a divider system, so I have a bunch in there. Bug spray, sunscreen, A/C disconnect lines, sunglasses, my check...
