We use an older clothes basket in the back to hold stuff.

I thought oil/filter changes were every 10K miles?

Basically, yes. Verizon is now trying to catch up...

Thanks. I have run studded snows before, so I am prepared for the tire noise. Loudest tires I ever had were Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ when I had my F-150. Those were gnarly tires...

I gotta run them at least one winter, I'm trying to prove to my wife that studded snows are about as good as it gets in snow and ice. I really want her to be safe, and more importantly, not harm the 4Runner...

I find that Waze is my #3 mapping app, behind Google Maps and Apple's Maps.

I guess I will have to put them on to see how they fit. I don't think they will look right after the dark grey of the Trail Edition... But they ARE really nice wheels.

Ok, you're crazy. Well no not really. Just kidding. Is that where these came from? I thought they came off a Tacoma, the people I got them from didn't say...

That was kinda my thought, I just can't seem to find the right zoom level to make it useful. Some of the street names and businesses are there but it is unlike street view so it is difficult to use with any accuracy. Exploring back roads I like to use it, but again, it is difficult to find the...

I picked up some studded snow tires and wheels for our 2021 T4R. While I'm not a real big fan of the wheels (can't even compare to the 2021 TE wheels...) I hope the combo will be good for my wife to drive to work and back this winter. These are Cooper Discoverer M&S 265/70-17 and have less than...

Does anyone use Google Maps satellite view while driving?

That's not 'skid plate', it's tank armour. Then again, that is what we need here in Vermont...

I have had great success with Pelican cases, they certainly stand up to rain and weather, there is an internal o-ring style gasket that seals them up pretty well. I use several photo cases (inserts not by Pelican...) and would not trust over $20K worth of cameras and lenses to anything else...

My bad. Looks like a Land Cruiser.

Anyone watch Mountain Men on the History Channel? I think I got a glimpse of a 4Runner driven by a woman on the season premiere. I am not sure, as I only got a quick glimpse towards the end of the show. Just curious if anyone else caught a better view and could identify the year. They had a lot...
