I too just got this tire and size. Going to be doing a 500 mile round trip this week that will likely include snow/ice and am curious as to how they will handle. I also like the look of them and picked them over the Nitto terra grapplers, just to be slightly different than the PROs. Nothing...

Yeah, I had been on the fence about this one. I read that it doesn't really provide much in actual correction to the CVs and think I actually saw somewhere that it could create a situation in which the pinion becomes starved for lubrication. I'll replace CVs until the cows come home if it...

Crawled under the truck this morning to take a look at the cam bolts. So it looks to me as if the passenger side cam is 180° out of phase (pointed to 3 o'clock rather than the 9 it should be), providing the minimum amount of caster? Another stupid question. I have yet to install the diff...

Runner has 14k miles on it. 13.8k of those are hard pavement. 200 miles or so of dirt road. Havent got the chance to wheel it much yet, let alone wheel it hard. Pot holes and frost heaves during spring break-up are the hardest terrain she's seen so far.

I did all the lift/UCA install myself, so I could probably handle the cam adjustment. Just to clarify, when you say rear bolts are you referring to both bolts on the rear arm of the "A" or the rearward facing bolts on each leg of the "A"? And by "max them out" do you mean turning them toward...

EXACTLY! I think that's what has me so frustrated right now. Drivers side was all in the greens on the incoming specs. The after specs show they dialed it down by 2.8*? It its all in the green to start with, why futz with anything?

Thank you sir, PM'd Scott. Going to have a chat with the alignment tech. I dont feel as if I have given something that is impossible to deal with. I mean if you are going to change my radio station and crank up the volume while moving it out of the shop bay, least you could do is to correctly...

After 2 attempts by 2 different shops, I still feel a little disappointed in my alignment specs. I feel as though I should be getting much better numbers but am by no means an expert in geometry and alignment. So here is the story: Step 1: Install Toytec 2.5 Boss kit. Net lift in the front...

I just got my T4R back from the tire shop yesterday, same problem. Rubbing on the driver's front fender when in reverse. You may not want to cut it, but at least you have 100% control over the outcome. If you leave it and your tire gets hungry and munches your fender, it will for sure look...

Just finished the install of the 2.5 BOSS kit. Install was pretty easy, and I cant say enough how much of a treat it was to work on a fairly new car. The project required exactly ZERO sprays of PB Blaster and no cheater bars. While total time was probably in the half-a-day range for front and...

You're probably right, the IPod will charge off the USB plug. I think the bigger Android phones pull quite a bit of juice and may be over some limit, or the supplied current isn't enough for the phone to recognize it as a charge?

Neither our HTC or Sony Xperia will charge from the USB. Had to buy one of the cig. lighter adapters.

Car accessory that adds flare, protects tire / wheel / rim and covers curb damage If you go to the BF Goodrich site and cross reference the size chart for this tire, the recommended wheel width range is 7" to 9". So any of the wheels you have are recommended. Beyond that, you should consider...

I think there are some write-ups on here that show you how to do this procedure with out the need for the spring compressors, which can be tricky and user UN-friendly

"Cheap" and "quality" will almost never exist in the same product . Think of it as inversely proportional. In general, you get what you pay for. The Bilsteins are pretty good option. Typically for what you are looking to do, just opting for the struts and keeping the stock spring will give...
