OK, so I was blowing down CA 395 (it's downhill going south) and farting around in the Eastern Sierras, average elevation on 395 around 5000 ft with less wind resistance but at least three sides over 9,000 and no, I wasn't going 80 on the sides, but most of the actual mileage was on CA 395. I...

Just turned 10K. Initial Mileage around 17.5 overall. After a few thou and now, around 18.5, 50/50 mix and 23 hwy @ 75-80. I'm a fairly aggressive street driver and don't consider that mileage too bad. Haven't done as much off road as I'd intended or would like to do. More in 2013. 2012 Salsa...

Primer in how to buy the Toyota (or anything else) of your choice of model, color, trim or whatever you like: Step 1: Go to Consumer Reports (if you're a member) or any auto buying site. Step 2: Configure car of your dreams Step 3: Allow the buying site to contact dealers in your area and wait...

First, I wanted a gray one, but decided that was too boring. Saw pix of red TE and a red SR5 in real life and decided I had to have the red. I'm not a big fan of all black for any vehicle and in particular don't like the black TE with black wheels - looks like a black hole. I also would...

I have a RAV4 V6 LTD and a 4Runner Trail with KDSS. I test drove a 4Runner SR5 and it doesn't handle as well on the road as the Trail. But no 4Runner, Highlander, Pilot or anything else in the mid-SUV range is gonna handle like the RAV4, V4 or 6. If you had a V6 RAV4, you're not gonna get the...

Fussy wife who basically hates anything trucklike and was afraid the road noise might be bad, hasn't noticed road noise from 265/70 R17 42-44 psi Duratracs at all. However, I do notice some noise, depending on road surface and speed. When audio is on, it's not noticeable.

Las Vegas Backroads I'm also in Anthem area (Madeira Canyon). Have Salsa Red TE and am planning to do area offroads such as some near us (Sloan Canyon), Mt Charleston, Mormon Well, the one from Red Rock over the Spring Mountains and others (see Bird and Hike . com for several suggested roads)...

SOLD! Still have spare.

PhD Biochem - Texas A&M Retired now from big pharma. 'Twas fun though. Love T4R TE. Wife hates it, thinks it's a truck. Secret of driving on roads with wife: turn on boring classical music, drive it like a car. Secret of driving off road with wife: don't take anything too technical - remember...

Not worth taking off tires. Will sell all four wheels with tires with or without spare. For individual wheels with tires, I would need at least three committed to buy. At the moment, I'm doing CraigsList local, but will meet anyone from SoCal halfway (from Las Vegas) if they buy the set.

No lift. Slight rub in fronts at full lock. Haven't measured, but guessing that it's side treads on Duratracs.

Wheels sold with tires only.
