Toyo Open country are quite popular in the area. Seem to work well, and you would probably be just fine with them. Another popular tire is yokohama Geolander AT. These were both considered, as well as others before I went with Cooper AT3's. Ha! Hoping for an early snowfall so I can see how the...

Hi Shafty. Actually got a screaming deal, so bought a bit earlier than I initially expected. I got LT265/75/16 in C load. Considered E load but thought it would be a rough ride on a lighter vehicle like the 4runner. Anyways, I ordered from discounttiredirect. Price was 168 per tire with free...

Hi folks! When looking for tires, did not find too much about these tires here, so I figured I would start a new thread. This is my first set of Coopers, and just got them installed on my 2007 4runner SR5 4WD. Looked at MANY other tires, and my last set was Dueler AT Revo. So, I took them...

Found a small leak in a hose. Not enough to let much out, but apparently enough to let air in. Patched it for now, and will replace this weekend. LOTS of time to get the air out, but its getting better with every steer to lock. Feeling better.

Okay, I figured it was a stretch, but was coincidence that it happened at the same time check engine light came on. So, I checked it out today. Yes, fluid is fine, was a tad low last week, but filled up now. So, I found found a leak. Can't visually see it leak, but the pressure release valve...

Hi folks! I have a 2007 SR5, 4WD. Last week, I had the check engine light come one, along with all the other idiot lights. Yes, my gas cap was not on tight enough. at the same time the lights all came on, my power steering became weak. Turning the wheel while stopped, is loud and very...

If anyone gets stuck with this same crap on their car, very hot water loosens it up. I kept dousing it with HOT soapy water, then scrubbing with just a sponge, and it came off.

Hi folks! This may be a no brainer for some, but I live in los angeles, so snow is a rarity. Went up to big bear for wheelin and fun after a big storm. They were just starting to plow the roads. The plows dropped these brown pellets behind them (salt i thought, but maybe not?) After getting...

Hi folks I just installed a new set of PIAA 520 ATP lights. The switch leaves much to be desired. I read on this forum of OEM switches under $20 ( i would like illuminated, but not necessary). 3 local dealers want $78 for the switch. This is highway robbery. Where can I get a good fitted switch...

Looks Great! Congrats on the T4R of the Month! It really looks bad-ass in the snow. Was doing the same thing up near Arrowhead the other day. Conditions about the same. Sadly, nobody to take pics.

Looks wonderful! This is what I want to do with my ride. I hesitate to do the lift though. I do not want to screw up the nice ride that comes stock. It looks so much better though, and would open up a few trails that I'm not too hip on using right now due to clearance. Any good tips in so. Cal...

Hi folks. Searched out the JAOS front protector, but did not find anyone who has one. Anyone with a Gen 4 Runner who has the front protector bar? Looks so nice. Very expensive I know, but looks just beautiful. The added protection to my truck is a big bonus. What you guys think of these bars...

I get your point on the grille, but the thing I'm worried about is too much chrome. A black Bull bar with chrome grille seems a bit patchwork, and chrome bar with chrome grille seems like too much chrome. Anyone with pictures of either combination to look at? If it looks ok, I will stick with...

Hi folks I have a new 2007 4Runner. I'm not that crazy about the chrome grille. I also want a nice Bull Bar in front, and the chrome is too much (still want to match). I want a color keyed grille. Apparently the limited models come with them, so they are available. Where can I get one? Must I...

Well, no replies, but I found a great place anyway. Off angeles forest hwy, is Pacifico trail. Has a few turnout roads that are good fun. Nothing harsh at all, but fun for bumpin around, hitting some rocks, and a great view from the top. The peak on the trail is 7200 ft. My 5 year old daughter...
