    Keys locked in car, no fob available.

    This won't help if they guy who's keys are already locked inside but for the rest of us... I just went to Home Depot and had a spare made of the ignition key. It won't start the truck but it will open the door. I keep it in my wallet. No worries.

    New brakes ALL AROUND at 21,500 miles???

    I had my brakes done around 57k and the rear were fine. They told me I needed new rotors in the front because they were below spec. after they turned them. I thought it was odd that I didn't get at least 1 re-surface out of them.

    New shocks??

    I drive mostly on road and off road just enough to get to my hunting or fishing spots. Probably 95%-5%. I've noticed a pulsing when I'm coming to a stop and thought it was the rotors warped. Firestone turned the rotors so we'll see if that takes care of the problem. I definitely don't think...

    New shocks??

    So I take my 4R into Firestone for an oil change, alignment check, and to check out a pulsing in the brakes. ( They installed new pads and rotors about 10k ago) They resurface the rotors to take out the brake pulse. They also say it rides rough and my shocks need replacing to the tune of...

    FJ Cruiser!

    I saw one of the new FJ Cruisers today on the road. Those are pretty cool! I didn't realize they were available for purchase. Sweet looking ride!

    Who will win the Rose Bowl- USC or Texas?

    Texas will win in a tight one. USC plays in a weak sister conference and could never go undefeated in the SEC! They are the only good team in a conference that would basically be the Mountain West Conference without them.

    New SR5 - Where to put the garage door opener?

    I clipped mine under the overhead light housing until I got a new garage door opener and then clipped it onto the pop out tray under the a/c controls.

    I tried several times to upload a large pic but the system kept telling me the file was to large.

    Baby got new shoes!

    Happy now??? here's your pic. So far they are great! Rides pretty much as good as before with 32 psi. I may bump up to 38 psi to improve mileage. There is slightly more road noise but it is minor. They look great. Really fill out the wheel wells. The trip computer is showing 18.5 mpg...

    Baby got new shoes!

    Just picked up my T4R after getting new REVOS! I went with the 70's. They look great! Has anyone with the larger tires reprogrammed the odo/speedo? Did you find a way to do it aftermarket or did you take it back to the dealership? Z

    Why do bigger tires cause worse mileage?

    Formulas and educated guesses are nice but let's hear some real world experience from guys who have changed from the stock tires to 70 series Revos. Has your gas mileage changed and how much?

    Wallet Spare Key

    Mine was a piece of junk. Never worked! Stripped on the first try. I got a regular, thin, non-chip key to keep in my wallet. works great just to open the door. Z

    Upsize tire questions

    I've nearly worn out those sucky stock tires on my '04 and i'm starting to consider new shoes. For those of you who've gone with the 265/70/17, what advantages or disadvantages have you noticed? Have you had a flat using the smaller stock spare and did it actually cause the ABS/VSC/ATRAC to...

    REVO 70 are HUGE!

    I know what the tire size calculators say about the change in the speedometer but what is your real world experience? Have you check the speedo vs. a roadside radar gun? How many miles an hour is yours off with the 70's? Side question... if the 70's are narrower won't this hurt your off road...
