Thanks. I didn't realize you could get Wildpeaks in SL load. Tire Rack doesn't list them. What do they weight in at?

Panther, is it a noticeable performance loss when going up to 285s from 275s? And how did you like the KO2s vs Wildpeaks? I think the KO2s look better (personal preference), but folks seem to think Wildpeaks ride smoother and have less balancing issues. What was your experience? Thanks.

Looks good. Rear is completely stock?

I guess I'm confused. How does the order site know we're a member? And how do I know I'm getting the member rate vs the regular price? Thanks for your help!

Any known rust issues to body or frame?

Won't be worried about lifts and such. This will be my "beater" second vehicle. Short trips and hauling junk. Good to know about the ball joints and radiator, though. Thanks

Looking into buying this 4Runner: 1996 Toyota 4Runner I spoke to the seller on the phone. He claims: 140k miles, V6, 4x4, No leaks, rides smooth: Needs tires, new rear wiper and new radio antenna. What common problems should I look for when I go down to see the vehicle? Anything a 3rd...

Thanks guys, yes, it was Mr. Tire who i bought the tires from initially. So I will call them back and have them look at them again. And yes, they did charge me $50 for the balancing. What is "Road Force Balancing?" - Ryan

Hi all, yesterday, I did two things to my 2010 Trail Edition: 1. Rotated my tires (35k miles on truck, I've rotated tires every 5k since I bought the truck, but this is the first rotation (5k) on my new 285/70/17 Revos.) 2. Installed TRD Cold Air Intake (followed instructions, install went...

Yes, I was thinking that perhaps my DuraTracs weren't balanced properly. But, I had the intentions of going to a more street friendly 285, so I never took it in to have it looked at. Also, I was running the DuraTracs at 44psi (I think), so is that where I should be with the Geo's? I'm about...

Hey all, Just upsized from my 265 DuraTrac's to 285 Geolander A/T-S. Both tires are E-Range. The Geo's are the largest OD 285 tires, measuring 33.1" tall. I have some rubbing at full lock in reverse. I think it's rubbing an interior piece of the mudflap, which is thin, soft and flexible, so...

30,000 miles on my TE and I'm happy to say that my struts are so strong that it's tough to close sometimes.

Nice. That's the lift I want. As for the tires, I'm torn between the Nittos and the Falkens. Tell ma about the rims... What are they? Where did you get them? I saw someone say FJ wheels, but I thought that FJ wheels were 16" and therefore would not fit. Thank you!

So, what backspacing would give you a flush-with-fenders look? And why do some wheels say -12 while others say -4.5 or 4.75? Is this metric vs American? What should we be looking for for the 4Runner? Thanks!

You sure your parking brake was fully disengaged?
