    Yokohama Geolandar

    You'll be happy with them. I had them for five years on my Montero Sport and were great. I just put a set on my T4R and I think the new generation of tires are better. I do some moderate offroading and they are great. real good in the snow as well. Good luck.

    question for you gun owners

    My biggest thing is safety. Take a course and learn to use your weapon. I too have a shotgun (12 gauge) and do want a handgun for home defense, especially for my wife. We will be taking a safety course first and our local range has an open house a couple times a year so we can fire different...

    When to use 4WD??

    It's before Tuxtla. Before you head up the mountains. It's a straight a way that goes for about 30-35 miles. Which border town are you crossing to head down there? Just found out today that there is a group from church heading to Guate in July as well. What will you be doing down there?

    When to use 4WD??

    If you are driving toward the capital, the roads are fine. The biggest danger is oncoming traffic. they are all paved roads so you'll be OK. In Mexico you will go on a road that is called La Ventosa. That road has some very strong crosswinds. Be careful if you are top heavy. Also, only drive...

    When to use 4WD??

    Well, I lived in Guatemala for 12 years. Unfortunately I did not have 4WD (I had a Ram Quadcab) so I couldn't have that much fun on the trails so I took up mountain biking. For everyday driving you don't need 4WD down there, but if you decide to travel to some of the small towns in Peten or...

    Moving to Guatemala, need help on how to fix up 4Runner

    It stands for "Old Man Emu". Be safe through Mexico and only drive in daylight. Also take small bills to pay off the police. There are some out there that will find something wrong with your paperwork and want some money. I have taken that route seven times now.

    Moving to Guatemala, need help on how to fix up 4Runner

    That's cool. I taught English down there as well. What school are you going to? I have had real good luck with the Yokohamas. They last a real long time and are real good for mild to moderate offroading.

    Moving to Guatemala, need help on how to fix up 4Runner

    Hey, Good luck down there. I lived there for 12 years. It's beautiful down there. If you're moving to the city, the roads aren't bad. Watch out for potholes though. Some can swallow your car. Also, the drivers are crazy down there. They can fit 8 cars in a 3 lane road so be careful. If you plan...

    New Tire w/SnowFlake (Kumho)

    The snow symbol is for a new law that went into effect in Canada this winter. All cars are to have winter tires or tires that have the snow symbol on it. I read an article on it back in late December. I guess the fines are supposed to be fairly high.

    Weird Fuel Gauge Problem

    Well that's what is weird. the fuel gauge was working just fine until I washed the truck and turned on the fog lights. Once it warms up here I will do a more thorough look at the wiring.

    Weird Fuel Gauge Problem

    I took my T4R to the car wash the other day. Now I have a problem that the fuel gauge is out of whack. It shows between full and 3/4 full always. If I turn on my fog lights the gauge goes down to empty and stays there. I checked the wires to the fog lights and don't seem to have a problem. They...
