This symptom is happening to me on my 2014. Yes, it is a notchy or "lumpy" feeling through lock to lock. It also won't return to center. It feels as if the power steering turns off every 15 degrees then turns back on. This often gets misdiagnosed and blamed on the R&P or PS pump. Of course you...

More Cracks Plenty of Cracks on my 2003 SE. Our 2004 Sienna CE also has developed cracks.

I've run these on a Scout, a Bronco, and now on my 4Runner. They are a solid performing tire but I'd recommend going with a higher load range than C if you can still get them. I've taken them to 80k+ miles previously and my current set look to go that long, too. I must warn you: the side...

Nice Rig Just out of curiousity, what kind of fuel mileage do you get with you tire and lift set-up? Thanks, J.Peter.B '03 T4R Mall Edition '72 Scout 2 Rock Edition

Tire inflation: tariffs, demand push up prices This article was helpful. This is tough one. Supposedly jobs are being lost because it is cheaper to make tires outside the U.S. As a reaction, B. Hussein Obama jacks up the tariffs. However, the jobs don't return and prices go up. So for...

Good to hear you had a good time. Which Daystar lift are you running? Sounds like whatever you have is the perfect setup for Uwharrie. I just finished removing the skidplates and banging out all of the dents, especially the gas tank skid.

I was under the impression the ATRAC AND the VSC disengages when the center diff is locked. This is good news to hear the ATRAC remains functional.:D

Uwahrrie is close! If you're in Charlotte, the Uwharrie National Forest isn't too far (about 90minutes). Mapquest "Eldorado, NC" which is a small town near the entrance to the NF. There is the Eldorado Outpost where you buy your $5 pass to the OHV part of the forest. Check out pics of my rig...

Check out the Uwharrie National Forest. It is about 30 minutes south of Ashboro, NC, or 90 minutes east of Charlotte, NC. There are trails suited for all capabilites of vehicles. Even some of the difficult trails have bypasses for un-modified vehicles.

Definitely all-season tires but they were deflated to 15psi. That plus the 2 ply sidewall contributed to the cut tire. They had some surprisingly good grip for all-season shoes. We had both a hi-lift and the bottle jack. It was a slow leak so we were able to get to a gravel road and make the...

My first time getting the 4Runner off-road to try the off-road goodies of the Sport Edition...definitely high centered the fuel tank a few times...and slashed a thin-walled highway tire. All in all, a good time. J.Peter.B Winston-Salem, NC 2003 Sport Edition - Stock except 265-70R17 tires and...

Nice Rack If you're looking for a good economical rack that is compatible with the 4th gen rack and Thule attachments, check out the ProLine Rack. I have had lumber and canoes on it with no problem.
