Well....spoke to Michelin this morning. They indeed offer a comfort guarantee.. So, it would seem that I am in a good position to make the exchange with little to no financial impact. From you experts out there....is it absolutely the best course of action? Is there any good reason to stick...

Can anyone provide any feedback about an AT tire? Should I consider these over the LTX tire I have or am going to? I didn't initially go that route because the tread pattern is more for off roading type of applications.

I apologize for not being clear. I am not asking about the safety of the P tires. I am asking if driving the Load E tires at lower psi (say, 45) would be a safety issue. The tires indicate 80psi. I am concerned over under inflated tires and the amount of highway driving we do. I think of the...

We'll, based on the few responses it's apparent that I may have made a huge mistake regarding tire selection. I paid the same price (in many cases) for the tires as the P version. Before I go and start trying to deal with the tire dealer about getting the P version, one fundamental question...

Asking for help with LT Load E tires. My 4runner is 2012 SR5. Living and driving in south FL. Against the recommendation of my installer, just bought Michelin MS LTX MS2 Load E tires. I selected this because the only other MS 2 is rated at 113 (not sure if this is C, D). I wanted to avoid a P...

Thanks for the replies everyone. I'm not really looking for a full warranty....just basically looking for a shop that will basically provide quality work and that if the install takes a crap, they will fix or take ownership of that. No shops as of yet can even (or want to) order the Bilsteins...

After about a year and a half, I have decided to upgrade my suspension to help with the nose dive issue. As many have recommended on this forum, I want to go with Bilstein 5100's and cannot locate a shop to do the install. I am in south Florida (west palm beach). All shops say they will do the...

Up for sale is a Husky Liner out of a 2007 T4R with the tray cargo. I am a baseball coach so the only abuse this has ever seen is clay and baseball gear. In my opinion, typical wear for this liner. In good condition. Please PM if you have any questions or need additional pics.

Thanks for the prompt response. I did offer 7k. He immediately said no. He has responded that he will accept 7500. While I have worked on cars and trucks many times, I feel weird about buying a truck that immediately needs me to commit to fixing. Esp since I lack the tools and manuals needed to...

I have been shopping for 3rd gen T4Rs and Tacomas....but every single one I have seen has oil present on the undercarriage. The latest one I have seen is a 2002 sport edition in fairly good condition. The owner is asking for $7700. I was prepared to offer 7500, but upon test drive, noticed oil...

5th gen? The whole head unit must be replaced?

A freak accident resulted in a significant chip in the glass on the radio. Anyone know if it can be replaced? From the looks of it, I dont think so....damn.

I have read the thread regarding shudder but it would seem that all the posts listed are 4x4. The condition is described very similarly; a "rumble strip" feeling when going from a stop or slow speed. Cannot reproduce at will....very random. I feel this will result in a "cannot reproduce" at...

Not meaning to hijack your thread.... Can anyone tell me which exhaust tip is the most current one? I called to order and the tech told me that there is a new one (P/N 00016-48935 ~$40) that supersedes (PT932-89100 ~ $55). Both are supposedly still available and I am not sure which one to...

Anyone notice how dirty the rear window gets? I wash my truck pretty religiously but cannot seem to keep the rear liftgate and window clean. Also, with the new wiper design, hard to clean the area below the rear spoiler.
