Need Advice For Possibly Having To Tow My Rig We're moving to another state and I have a dilemma with how to get my '13 Trail there. We're taking very little furniture per se, but my wife is adamant about keeping the dining room set and grandfather clock. The biggest trailers I can find to...

No, no, NO..... We have the smart key on our Toyota Venza and more than once it's frozen up, making us roast in the summer heat while the computer recycles and may or may not actually turn the engine over. A true truck based vehicle with true 4 WD using technology that could get you stuck...

Thank you very much for the links jhuerta. The KYB's will fit according to the link, and they look very interesting. One important question as I know nothing about suspension. Is everything included, or do you have to buy additional items?

Runner obviously I was unclear. I simply couldn't let her drive without reliable stopping power. The hoses have already been replaced, the lines bleed and adjusted, and the parking brake reset. They did a great job, and everything works perfectly now on the brakes. The next item of...

Thanks for the great offer praff, but unfortunately I think you're right on the shipping being a killer.

carlo can you expand on the benefit for using the combo A-Trak and locker for soft sand and rocks? Thanks.

I normally lurk or post on the 5th Gen site, but need some advise to help our daughter in law. She has a 1996 SR5 4WD, that needed brake work. Our regular mechanic of 20+ years found the brakes themselves were fine, but the rig was badly in need of new hoses. Now the brakes work great, but...

Great question....hopefully someone has an equally good answer.

Pricing From tirerack.com Went to read the reviews on the new KO model at tirerack.com, and out of curiosity checked the pricing. It was surprising to learn the 275 size was cheaper than the stock 265. Even for the Load Range C, which is available in stock. $206. per tire for 275's in Load...

Nice suggestion Saker....I went to the factor 55 site and after putting some things in the cart noticed they have a coupon box area. Does anyone know if this site (or any other comparable site) has a valid coupon for a little better price? Thanks in advance for any help, I'd rather buy from...

My understanding is the manufacturing process is complete, and the product will be released to dealers in the near future. How soon is the question, and the poor young lady who answers phones at AMP has been besieged with calls asking about T4R power steps. In the meantime I recall some...

Agreed, I had "C" rated Duratracs mounted on a 4X4 Nissan Frontier that a friend has now and is still driving on the same tires. While they rode a tad rough for my taste, there was never any vibration.

I can't speak to every surface, but do have a lot of experience with the KO in mud as several of my friends used them for years in mainland Mexico. The 45 degree angle tread design of the KO / KO2 gets packed with mud like any tire. However while the All Terrain Toyos, Nittos, or AT3 tread...

Which is the beauty of this site, not only do members hear about things before the public...often it's even before the dealer. BTW JET the steps look especially good on the 2010 - 2013 Trail. The way the step seats up below the door blends in perfectly with the black cladding on the wheel...

Back in May my 2013 Trail was used as a test bed by AMP Research Engineers, to design a set of their terrific power steps for 4 Runners. You may remember I posted a thread with photos of the working product (link below). At that time they let me know once the final product was in production...
