Great idea! I currently leave my manuals at home on the shelf, but I always carry my I-Phone. Please post a link to these files. Thanks.

Nope, I think my original statement was correct. As noted by others, A-TRAC and TRAC are two completely different systems.

One of the biggest mistakes people make when driving 4WD vehicles on snow or ice is thinking they can safely drive faster than other vehicles on the road. While 4WD vehicles may go more places 2WD, they aren't designed to stop any faster than a 2 WD vehicle. A 4WD vehicle that is traveling at...

Universal, but they fit the 4R very nicely with minimal trimming.

I'll post pix tomorrow. In the meantime here is a link to the mats.... Goodyear 4-Piece All Weather Rubber Floor Mats - GOODYEARMATS

Just bought a set of Good Year mud/snow mats for my 2011 Limited. They fit well after minor trimming and look good. At $39 for the entire set I'm surprised more people aren't talking about some of the other options on the market. I like the feel of the GY mats (more of a rubbery feel--definitely...

Besides giving the 5th generation a new look, it also cleared the way for increased room in the cab. I looked at T4Rs years ago and just did not like the way I felt in the driver's seat....always felt cramped. The minute I sat in the 5th generation I knew I would own one.

If you plan to drive your 4WD in 4H in hopes of getting the same performance you get from a vehicle with full-time 4WD models you increase the probability of damaging the drive train. The way the two 4WD systems work is totally different. When you talk about driving in snow, it is important to...

I haven't tried this yet, but you should be able to use the "mechanical backup key" included with the Smart Key to lock the vehicle with it running.

I'm quickly coming to the same conclusion regarding selection of aftermarket assessories for the T4R. That said, how hard can it be to make floor mats? I suppose the answer has to do with market share. Not sure how many T4Rs are sold each year, but I suspect the number is well below other...

I don't want to upset anyone, but am I the only one that thinks either of these options are "butt ugly"? While they may be functional, I can't believe someone hasn't come up with something that works and looks decent. I have a set of OME floor mats that I bought for my Jeep Wrangler back in...

The heated seats in my Limited work okay, but don't get as warm as those in my wife's VW Jetta. I've come to the conclusion they just take a little longer to warm up and won't get as warm as those in the Jetta. That's okay though as the seats in the Jetta can "toast your buns" if you leave...

I agree! Lots of good options out there, so it boils down to personal choice based on looks and price. After looking at all the information I decided to go with the Yakima Mega Warrior rack....not the sexiest product on the market, but I've used Yakima products for years and trust the brand...

I'm not a fan of putting much stock in reports written by people who are paid for that sort of thing. I find it is much more useful to read reviews written by someone who owns the product. It may seem odd, but I specifically seek out negative input so I can determine what people don't like...

I agree and am finding the same thing with my new Limited. I'm still in the break in stage, so I've been easy on the gas. On Sunday I got impatient with a slow vehicle in front of me and got on the gas to pass the vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised at the exceleration I got out of the V6...
