I have the OEM Michelin X terrains on mine. I really like them a lot in the snow. In 4 high with the diff locked this thing can really brake great in the snow.

I am extremely pleased with the 4runner in the snow. I can't believe how well it handles and how predictable it is. This snow has been so much fun.

The spoiler is doing just fine. Fitment is good, nothing came loose. Paint is in great condition.

I tow my car on an open car trailer. Weight is around 4700#. I have the V8 hitch from suspensiontechniques.com. I am not running a tranny cooler, I monitor with an aftermarket temp sensor, in 88 degree ambient temp the outport of the tranny was reading 175 max, most of the time 165 while...

Two totally different cars. The Z3 was a parts bin of a vehicle. The front suspension is out of the E36 (95-99 3 series) and the rear suspension is out of the E30 (88-94 3 series). It doesn' t have the best fit and finish of a BMW. It was the first BMW built out of Germany. The Z4 is all...

I did this yesterday for a test. It turns off the VSC, traction control and ABS. Once the vehicle is power cycled they all come back on. Looks like I am going to have to rig up a normally closed switch to put in line on it.

I took the 4 Runner out yesterday afternoon in the rain to test out disabling the traction control. I have the 05 spoiler (aftermarket) and the rain was being pushed down the back window. I was actually quite amazed at how well it worked.

My 07 V-6 has the smell too. I am on the road all the time so I am not sure where I got the last tank of gas from. Today is a very nice day out so I drove with the windows open, what a big mistake.

I just towed for the first time this weekend. I had an open car trailer with brakes on both axles. Total weight is 4600#. My V6 handled it just fine, and I had no problems with the brakes. I do have the 7500# hitch from Suspensionconnection.com since you can't find the Hidden Hitch 70411...

I got mine from here a few weeks ago: http://stores.ebay.com/caraccessories123 Its not an 07 with the bump on it, though the picture in the auction does show the bump. Its an OEM quality product and they can paint it to your color. On the vehicle.

Good to hear. I figured I was good to go when I opened the box and saw that it mounted to the frame. I was just glad to know that there is another option now that the 70411 isn't available.

I just got my new V6 SR5 4Runner last week. So it was time to order parts. Its a work vehicle so I didn't have any choices in options. I really wanted to put the V8 hitch on there for mulitple reasons. I couldn't find the Hidden Hitch 70411 anywhere so I ended up ordering the unit from...

I have had Sirius for a couple of years now. I have been a couple of cars with XM and have been less than impressed. Maxim radio and Faction are great, and all of the NFL games are a big plus. One of my buddies has XM so he can listen to the MLB games, there is the one up on XM.

I did a little more research and the later model unit can be found on ebay for a decent price. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2003-07-TOYOTA-4RUNNER-Painted-OEM-STYLE-Spoiler-Wing_W0QQitemZ200110903223QQcmdZViewItem

I got the call that mine came in today. It is a fleet vehicle so I had no options. It doesn't have a roof rack or spoiler, it looks really naked. Is it possible to mount the OEM spoiler to a hatch that doesn't come with one? I see that the light on is on the hatch, but that could be disabled.
