    Beating a dead horse! Sorry!

    There is a lot of good info in the link above. I didn't see any info for 18" rims. My specs are in the sig. Maybe a 265/65r18 would fit you rig. Shorter sidewalls/taller rim and same tread width. Educate yourself in understanding tire sizes. Especially the "aspect ratio" It will help you make...

    Just a little drive on Carolina Beach

    If you air down you should have no problem. Use 4wheel drive, take it slow in a low gear, try not to spin tires. Spinning/digging will get you stuck. Watch out for holes from fires pits or where others have been stuck. Good luck and enjoy!

    Just a little drive on Carolina Beach

    Beautiful T4R and nice beach shots. I have some very similar pics of ours posing. The sand just blends great with a titanium sport edition. Love it. Lineman, I live on OBX and just so you know since the NPS has started charging fees to drive on Oregon inlet, a lot of folks are 4wheeling on...

    Towing a camper questions.

    Thanks for the reply's!! Those links led to link after link and I have more reading to do. I just looked under the hood to find that I have a factory Tranny cooler in the radiator. I see no signs of an oil cooler {could have missed it}. Is the tranny cooler in the radiator sufficient? That's...

    New to Site - Need Input

    Be sure the timing belt has been replaced and check all around for rust. cycle the 4x4 on dirt or gravel {not asphalt} if equipped to be sure the solenoids are working. Although most V8's are equipped with all wheel drive. Someone else will chime in with specifics.

    How to install hitch on 2008 4runner

    I went with the Curt round tube hitch. Yes it sticks out toooo far but is functional if you can keep your knees away from it. Install was as above post. Simple but takes some muscles and I used and impact wrench.

    Switching to full synthetic from full conventional.

    After a few miles I feel the synthetic has improved milage. The readout went to 19 mpg up from a constat 18.1 the previous months. Pretty cool.:cool:

    Switching to full synthetic from full conventional.

    I made the switch and all seems well. Didnt notice much of a change so far but we'll see what it looks like at 5k miles. Also greased drive shafts, used 1 can of brake cleaner per caliper and rotated tires. I chose the 5w30 full syntheitc. Thanks for all the replies.

    Switching to full synthetic from full conventional.

    Thanks for all the fast responses. KOZ, I change it when the light comes on. I think I should change sooner but oil stayes pretty clean. Mostly highway use, not much dust or abuse if any. I will change to full synthetic this weekend this weekend since it fits my changeing schedule better :)

    Switching to full synthetic from full conventional.

    Ok guys I know how this goes. This is not to start a brand war as a matter of fact leave the brands out and lets talk about oil and there ingredients. I have a 2007 v6 that has treated me well. I want to switch to synthetic. I have been using 5w-30 conventional. I am at 60k miles. Having said...

    Brake Pedal Click

    I have the same noise when backing and braking. It seems to me the calipers/pads are shifting as if the bolts are loose. The bolts are not loose on mine. Something is shifting and settling to a metal on metal cling/click. The clicking the OP is asking about sounds like the brake light switch...
