When I get a chip on my '98, I have it repaired. IME, a repaired chip rarely develops into a problem. They will not repair a chip in your direct line of vision (you wouldn't want to anyway, it still can reflect glare after repair), but elsewhere they will and the repairs look barely visible. I...

Version 2.0: Items were still sliding on the original design pad, so we replaced the top panel of the cover with non-slip fabric. Now cargo does not slide on it no matter what. A worthwhile improvement. The look is essentially the same.

Alas, no. You are only safe from an OBD2 piggy-back installation. The bug could still be spliced directly into the vehicle wiring.

My '25 paint is thankfully still more or less intact, but I touched up numerous blemishes with the kit from automotivetouchup.com on my '98 3rd gen in Desert Dune color. I got the 2oz bottle of paint, and also the primer and clearcoat. Worked pretty well. The color match is perfect. You can...

Wow! Since when? AFAIK OR, ORP, TRD Pro and TH all have 18" wheels. Only SR5 has 17".

I thought ORP did not have real leather seats. Just plastic imitation. Limited has real leather seats. Or am I mistaken?

I was not casting aspersions on your rig. I do like the red logo off trail or on. @NotApplicable was just asking in general for a similar term to 'ricer' applicable more to off-roading. I think pavement princess is the term. Nothing to do with your vehicle.

I think the term you are searching for is 'pavement princess'

I think the red looks great with the hooks and all. I don't dislike the silver either, though. I like both much better than the squished eggs emblem I have on the OR. I wonder if either would fit on the OEM grille of the OR. Does anybody know? Never mind. Looks like a grille swap would be...

I bought a '25 OR without a moonroof and sorely miss it. In my '98 I open it automatically as soon as I get in the vehicle unless it is raining heavily or freezing. Advantages: - Lights up the interior. Without it it feels like you are driving a tank. - Allows for monitoring cargo on the roof...

Remove the plate before going in for service. Easy enough to do and an opportunity to clean out the mud and debris inevitably accumulated underneath.

Yes, it is a difficulty. The only one in stock size I found is this Goodyear Wrangler Enforcer AT. https://www.discounttire.com/buy-tires/goodyear-wrangler-enforcer-at/p/125979 It actually looks decent on paper, but I had Goodyear Wrangler tires stock on my 3rd gen and they were truly...

A trip from the coast to PDX today, wife drove. '25 Off Road, 1800 miles, stock except dam gone and TRD front skid added. Stock cross bars. Normal mode. End of spring break, pretty busy road. About a quarter on decent 2 lane road, half on curvy mountain hwy in bad shape, climbing and...

As described in the post linked below, I used a foam mat to cover the floor after removing seats. If you just have a carpet mat in the back, then thinner foam would be better. The pictures are of version 1 mat. The cordura turned out still too slick and things tended to slide on it too much...

Yes. As they taught me in driving school a long time ago - hope it still applies: One turns the flasher on mainly to signalize INTENT to change lanes/direction, not the fact that you are already doing it. So it is most important to turn the flasher early enough before the lane change starts...

Mine too. What an idiotic design. It is just as bad or even worse on the driver side. The handle above the door is not useful for boarding the vehicle. My 3rd gen has a nice handle on the driver side in the mirror position to the passenger side handle and it is a pleasure to get in. This is...

3M mounting tape

That's fine. Most people think too little about too much. Way worse.

They were mounted with narrow double sided tape. I did not bother warming it up. Just pulled on it carefully from one side and they popped off. It would be possible to loop and pull a piece of thin braided string behind the panels to help with the removal. The hardest part was to clean up the...

I got them as a PIO on mine. The first thing that went. IMO much cleaner look without them. Also, the edges are not sealed, so it would inevitably collect debris behind them. I thought nobody would want them so I threw them out. Should have offered them for sale here.:(
