    New tires! Nokian Vatiiva M/Ts

    I believe the tire is an "all season" tire, not specifically a "snow tire". Does the tire have a snowflake on the sidewall? If not, it's technically, not a snow/traction tire (at least not what Oregon law enforcement would call a snow/traction tire). It may be good in snow and ice, however...

    Bilstein HD installed. Comments after 1k miles

    Do you have part numbers? Looking at Bilstein site, they list the 4600 series shock for a stock replacement, 5100 series for lifted, and 5160 which comes with remote reservoir. Is the 4600 series the HD version, or is there another different series? Thanks.

    Oil - a bit dirty looking and overfilled

    I would bet that if something happened catastrophic to your engine, and you had previously overfilled the oil (as the dealer had for the OP)and it could be proven that it was overfilled, Toyota would lnot honor any warranties.:cry2: A little or a lot, according to the repair manual, the top...

    Wheel spacers

    I installed the Spidertrax spacers this last weekend. Stock SR5 wheels with 265 Duratracs. There was rubbing at the ribs on the front liner AND rubbing at the back of the wheel well opening on a small removable piece of plastic with a "bumpout" on it. The tire rubbed at full lock left or...

    New Options on Build Your Own Toyota

    Got these same options in July of 2010 on our SR5. Very nice......Why wouldn't these be available all over the country?

    SR5 handling compared to older Tundra

    SEARCH is your friend. I typed "SR5 Handling" and got at least 10 pages of related 5th gen threads. :bluejump:

    Anyone running winter tires??

    Just got back from a 2-day drive from Golden Colorado to Portland Oregon......went thru slush and some ice/snow over the Wallawa Mountain pass east of Pendelton and between Utah and Larimie Wyoming on the stock Bridgestone Duelers. Needed 4HI to pass vehicles, as the fast lane on I-84 was a bit...

    Spare Key Cost $$$

    I think I've had my subaru key go through the wash about 3 times......each time requiring a $100 new key. It seems no matter how diligent I am about making sure my key is not in my pant's pocket before it goes in the laundry, there will be times I forget and my wife doesn't check.

    Why do 4Runners come with factory rack and not leveled?

    If the truck were leveled, and you loaded it up with stuff, it would probably sag in the rear. I've got a 5th gen SR5 with a third seat. If I load it up with 7 people, it will sag in the rear. Also, towing something large and heavy could make it sag in the rear. Headlights probably would not...

    Spidertrax Wheel Spacers

    I guess I figured that some of the folks using spacers had used them before on other toyota trucks/4R's. I'm sure it's probably a bit early to see any issues on the new 4R, but you never know. If wheels are spaced out from their stock position, then I would think that this would put more...

    Spidertrax Wheel Spacers

    New SR5 owner here. Wondering about the use of these or any spacers and any issues with them.....specifically any premature wear on suspension parts. I've always thought that by spacing out your wheels, you introduced greater forces on ball joints, suspension, etc. I'd like to push the...
