    BFG KM3 -or- Cooper Discoverer STT Pro?

    Agreed. I’ve used KO2s on three vehicles and haven’t had this issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    BFG KM3 -or- Cooper Discoverer STT Pro?

    The tires have poor channels so they’re not capable of moving standing water effectively; they’re quick to hydroplane. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4.5L Twin Turbo Diesel for 2020?

    One of my favorite vehicles was a suburban diesel. Super reliable, low up keep, I loved it. My least favorite vehicle was the 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel I just turned it. A modern diesel comes with DEF fluid, recovery cycles and extraneous maintenance. It really only starts to make sense...

    Nitto Terra Grappler G2 LT265/70R17 – a review in real time

    Tires really aren’t that hard. Compound that’s too soft or hard affects longevity vs longevity. Tread patterns can have: - blocks , for mud and maybe deep snow - sipes, snow traction - channels, standing water KO2 have a soft compound and fix longevity problems with lots of tread. They have...

    Nitto Terra Grappler G2 LT265/70R17 – a review in real time

    Absolutely, Lack of channels in the treads makes standing water a problem. Once my Tacoma did a freeway power slide where I was looking through the driver’s side window instead of the windshield. Stay under 55 mph and it’s manageable. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Entune

    I guess it comes down to how much you’re in the car and whether you like talk radio vs music. Music subscription services allow offline downloading and they help you find music you will like; Google is getting scary good at artificial intelligence. Afaik, A household worth of unlimited music is...

    2019 TRD PRO 4Runner Pic Request

    Just noticed that the front bumper cover has a removable piece (where the license plate frame mounts). I’ve noticed a couple YouTubers cut their bumper covers here so they can mount an after market bumper. Is this an update? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Tire chains or cables?

    I've done a fair amount of winter mountain driving in California, Oregon and Washington state. Putting on chains is a pita, but sometimes you have to do it. Tires with good sipes is usually enough, my preferred are KO2. Having limited slip differentials (LSD) is also a great traction devices for...

    Entune

    Bit surprised that so many people use Pandora. IMO, Google Play Music, Spotify and Apple Music are all better. Particularly Google Play Music's AI is very helpful for finding music.

    I ended up buying a 2019 from Titus-Will. Second best buying experience (first was through my friend who is a car broker). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4runner TRD Pro

    Calling the 8 dealers in my area I gathered a far bit of information. Each dealer is given around 5 Pros per year (allotments based on volume). Some of them had 6 back orders meaning that some customers wouldn’t get their Pros till 2020 (spoiler, likely to be a unibody). Some dealers mentioned...

    4runner TRD Pro

    I got my 2019 Trd Pro Monday. I second that the stereo sounds / works great (wish it had CarPlay/Android play). Roof rack is stupid, considering a BajaRack because I want more clearance. Suspension is good. I likely will just do light trail and mountain+snow driving so I probably could have...

    2019 TRD PRO 4Runner Pic Request

    Not sure. Nice on-road performance, really smooth rebound. I was a bit worried it would have a springy ride like a tundra platinum; hit a bump... wobble side-to-side. Seems to behave like the Toyota literature says: “When transitioning from compression to rebound, the piston is momentarily...

    2019 TRD PRO 4Runner Pic Request

    Entune 3.0? no car play support unfortunately. Installed the entune app and it upgraded the head unit’s firmware. Seems to work great just no user interface for app in the head unit. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I called 8 dealers in the area. Some on the I5 corridor are asking $8-10k over MSRP which is crazy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
