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.:(

Herein lies the crux of the problem.

That brings up a question. Many people recommend Load C tires as a good compromise where Load E may be overkill and SL too fragile. In the size we are dealing with here - 265/70R18 there are precious few Load C tires at all. In fact, I only found one - a Goodyear Wrangler Enforcer AT intended...

I drove the tree lined road today and the hard set to daytime mode pretty much solved the problem. The screen still dims in the darker places, but that is fine, even desirable. The decrease/increase in brightness is a heck of a lot less distracting than switching the entire color scheme.

Darn.

Thanks, I'll try it. Certainly would be easier to turn on the headlights manually then going rummaging in the screen settings to switch the screen mode.

Well, I set the light sensitivity to Darker and it did not help. I drive weekly 60 miles on a tree lined road with occasional gaps in the canopy (Trees to Sea Scenic Byway it is called). It keeps switching the screen mode on me every time I approach such gap. It is distracting enough that I...

The machined silver rings on the wheels look out of place on an off-road utility rig. I tolerate them on mine, because the aluminium color roughly matches the Cutting Edge paint of the vehicle, so the rings don't not stand out as much. I am not wild about them, though. On a non-Cutting Edge...

That's just plain wrong.

There is 1.05" difference in radius between the SR5 245/70R17 and OR 265/70R18 tires. That is the ground clearance difference as @shine stated.

True, but still... I think the ground clearance (assuming stock tire size) is the only significant disadvantage unless you tackle some serious terrain .

At the point that you high center the SR5 on something and wish you had that extra inch of ground clearance the OR has. ;)

The OEM Falken WildPeak A/T3WA tires are not 3Peak rated. Just M+S.

Yep. I also disabled the rear seat warnings using Carista first. And plugged up the bolt holes with silicone 10mm plugs. To cover the space, I bought a piece of Minicell T200 closed cell foam at foambymail.com, cut it to shape using electric turkey knife and my wife made a zippered cover for...

Also full size on my OR. The same Falken Wildpeak A/T3WA (neutered A/T3W) 265/70R18 and machined silver rim wheel as the rest.

The manual specifies that tires should not be moved from left to right during rotation to preserve direction. For 5 wheel rotation they suggest LF<->LR and RR->RF->SP->RR order. This means that the left side tires are always in use. This kind of defeats the purpose of extending life by...
