But it is on the internet, so doesn't that automatically make it true? :biggrin2:

Easy, that was a light-hearted comment aimed at being overly sensitive. But I'll make sure to run all future sarcastic comments thru you to be sure you're not offended. To the original problem, it turns out it WAS the gas cap. Apparently (according to the tech) it was allowing a vacuum leak...

Where have I made it look crappy vehicle quality? I understand vehicles today are more complicated than ever, which is why I'm only mildly annoyed at this issue. Feel free to retract your claws, Sally...

The lift and tires were installed 400 miles ago, so I'm pretty confident that's not the problem. I considered disconnecting the battery, but that seems a little ridiculous on a vehicle with 700 miles. Additionally, in my experience problems like this don't just appear once and then are gone...

I would go with Huskys. Lifetime guarantee can come in handy when you least expect it...

It's certainly not the gas cap. Oh well, looks as if a trip back to the dealer is in order. Sure doesn't leave me with a warm and fuzzy feeling for this to happen 5 weeks after delivery...

Ok, so I got in the truck last night, started it up and noticed that three warning lights stay lit on the dash: the check engine light, the TRAC OFF light and the green multi-terrain light was flashing. Turned the truck off and restarted in a few minutes and all three lights remained lit. I've...

J Shoe posted pics of Husky Weatherbeaters. They are different than the classic Husky Liners due to a different tread design and the form-fit edge that lays on the door sill... And the Weatherbeaters come with fronts and second seat liners in one box.

I've used Husky Liners in Jeeps, an Excursion, a Tacoma, two Super Duty's and three 4Runners. They've always fit great, are a more reasonable price than WT's and carry a Lifetime Guarantee. I've never tried the WT and honestly don't intend to...

Hope they work out for you. Seems like a fair product, but for the price and without a lifetime warranty I'll happily stick with Husky...

My local shop in Wichita charged $300 including alignment to install my ICON Stage 1. And it only took them about 5 hours to get everything done...

Thanks, Grant. I'm fully prepared for the truck to need to work a little harder to turn the taller tires. I was just trying to get a sense of what to expect as far as performance went. Thanks for everyone's advice. Very excited to get the process started and enjoy the results! Pics will...

This coming Friday I'm slated to get my Icon Stage 1 lift and BFG AT/KO 285/70/17's installed on my '12 TE. Having had experience with 33" tires on Wranglers in the past I'm a little concerned about how the 4Runner will tolerate those taller tires with stock gearing. Specifically, for those...

So I'm assuming 99% of owners are running 285's with stock gears. In that example, how does the truck respond to going up small to moderate inclines at highway speeds? Does it constantly downshift to make it up the hills? I've noticed my truck downshifting while going up hills with the stock...

I think that is a great point right there - if we take care of these vehicles they should have no problem lasting a very long time.
