I found, the best fuel economy is at 55 mph, like driving on country roads. Anything above that, and this big square box takes more and more gas to push through the air. When the best fuel economy around 23mpg I got on country roads, then drivng steady 85mph on open freeway in Wyoming I got...

Ha, it took me over 6 years to get rid of factory DRL :roll: Truck is happy in Poland and jest besides oil change did not require any work. However Polish politicians have nothing better to do than messing with traffic law and vehicle inspections standards :puke: Last year at the annual...

No worries. If you are all stock you can't go wrong with KO2 C-load. Actually I dumped my still good stock Duelers for KO2. BFG is Michelin, and you can't go wrong with Michelin. Very soft and grippy, but tough on rocks and harsh terrain. The only thing that I see worse comparing to...

What do you mean by "load index of T4R is113? I did calculation for my 4R based on these tires numbers and weight put on each tire. The correct tire pressure at GWR is 37psi (the KO2 C max pressure is 49psi so it is way below what tire can handle). Because I am not driving at GWR I dropped...

Hello back :wave: These switchbacks work perfect on my 1st gen Tacoma, on 5th gen 4Runner not so well because of that stupid DRL functionality. Master Body ECU is turning on front turn signals for DRL, and that is messing up the blinkers in corner lamps. When DRL are on my corner lamps are...

The description of the cheaper one says: "Without skid plates", the nore expensive is "With skid plates". Does it mean the plastic is 'without" and the metal one is "with"? I have not buy it yet. Busy.

Not sure exactly about timing, but Poland being a part of EU now has the same regulations. However these lights while having the safety in mind are the most useless light for me. In these 3 years I have them installed on all my USA cars I used each one of them only 3 times - only during annual...

In Europe in early 90's it was required to use one on the left side so car manufacturers did not need to redesign the tail of existing production cars. What they did is they replaced left reverse light with red bulb or red lenses and wire it to separate switch. Now after most models sold in...

What I'm saying low beam are designed to shine low with cut-off way below the eye-level of oncoming drivers - the whole purpose is to not blind them. Fog lights are even lower. I guarantee you will not be able to see and react to anything on the side of the road ready for jumping at you if you...

No lights will help you avoid deer. Drive slower (especially in thr rain).

That's the sad reality of living outside of USA - local aftermarket is almost non-existing and shipping charges of bulk of heavy item is doubling the US price. Then EU customs is adding 23% VAT (that is 23% of price plus shipping) to make the overall cost of 2.5 more expensive than for USA...

Few days ago i had WTF moment while doing fluid film to my 4Runner. This is the first time I noticed the fuel tank skid plate is covering only first 1/3 of the fuel tank leaving 2/3 of plastic exposed to anything I drove over. I go off road sometimes but I am not doing off-roading (I mean...

It always amazed me the very little common sense is applied to vehicle lighting modification in USA. I don't know if the the regulations are so loose or nobody cares about it. I know California does not have any safety inspections besides being natzi about emission. In Europe vehicle lighting...

It's been 18 months since I did the change to make my truck "legal". Now I'm going to make it a bit more safer. The thing is, that in 4Runner front blinkers are mounted under the bumper between fog lights. That makes them invisible from the side. So if someone is driving along the side of me...

Sadly a nice LED bulb from superbrightleds gave up exactly after 3 years warranty was up. That is the LED bulb I had in my dome lamp housing Funny that my home made bulbs I made for mirrors and for tailgate three years ago...
