I like them. Great offroad, no rubbing at all. MPG probably took a hit, but I have been towing/carrying motorcycles on the hitch carrier so I don't have a better estimate on a clean setup yet.
I opted to replace the originals with the 285/70 R18 Toyo Open Country AT3 from Discount Tire. They are significantly lighter than any other of the 285s and seemed like they got a better score with low rolling resistance. First impressions are that the ride isn't as harsh as I expected, they are...
Thank you all for the insightful responses. I have been driving 4 generations of 4Runners for over 25 years and never experienced a puncture like this.
The rim had a chip-ding right next to what almost looked like a pinch flat. (I’ll post a photo later) As I mentioned, I was being careful as...
Hi all,
Today, while driving up to Engineer pass in the San Juans, slowly, tires deflated to 25 PSI, I heard a pop. Tire instantly deflated. Sidewall puncture. It seemed way too easy for that to happen. These are the original Toyo Open Country AT 265/70 R18. Truck has 3,000 miles on it.

Performed the first 1,000 mile oil and filter change today on the Trailhunter. Easiest oil change I have ever done on any vehicle.
Didn't see any metal bits and shavings or other deposits in the oil
I took a closer look at the stock ARB rack that came on my new Trailhunter today and noticed it has four bolt-on cross beams. But it looks like there should be five, since there is a gap and the empty threads for the two missing bolts.
Check your racks and let me know if you have four or five...
Title says it all.
Located in Albuquerque, NM
I think my new (200 miles) Underground Trailhunter would look better with the black TRD Pro wheels vs the Bronze ones it came with.
Interested in a swap?
Lets meet somewhere half way armed with Jacks and make it happen :)

This seems like a good idea. I come from the motorcycle world and this is common practice - oil change after the initial break-in period. And, I know this is apples to oranges.
So, Maybe asked and answered but will doing your own oil change void the new vehicle warranty? My new 4Runner came...
