Realizing now, even the 4R loaded up really doesnt need more than SL for what ill be doing (maybe 10-20% offroading but not much serious rock crawling and if i ever did, i wouldnt be as weight loaded so not as much of a concern as i originally thought). I guess people go E for comfort of mind...
Basically just dont want to get SL’s, and dont want E’s, so been riding shitty highways everywhere… very anecdotal but I was just chiming in on how annoying shopping for 18s is compared to 17
0 at all…Im saying im in analysis paralysis mode because my lack of options in 18s atleast near me, so i went out in 6inches of snow in highway michelin tires hahaha. Pretty sure i wouldve gotten 3peak rated tires before that storm because my options wouldve been better if i had 17s in my...
Almost wish i went sr5, threw in 10-15k over time, and had everything i wanted tbh. Still love my car so much, but if i didnt have this trim, pretty positive id go sr5 and mod over the years. I understand the limiteds appeal for families but id just go land cruiser or gx at that point most...
As everyone else has said. But i want to re iterate as someone with 18s, how annoying availability is… the lack of c load tires is really bad, and while a solid set of All terrains in 18s, SL load, like at4w, is basically the same thing as a c load, id rather just have more options in true sl...
Exactly its good to go out the door offroading/driving wise basically… I also figured those who can afford a TH dont really need to “set aside” money for the mods it needs either unless you are talking huge lifts or overlanding storage setups where that question would not need to be asked. Think...
Just wanted to comment that buying a trailhunter and setting aside money for mods before u even have it seems excessive. Its the top level trim for a reason, if i had that trim, id hope and expect I have everything I already need basically… atleast to get into a couple dozen thousand miles under...
Good stuff, making me jealous as im stuck in snow land for now… curious if you did any underbody protection like woolwax or fluidfilm before hitting the beach? Or do you just rinse off well once done? Cant imagine the sand and salty water debris is good for the paint?
Yeah I was hoping to not have to replace at all until they were toast, but going to have to for next winter most likely. Just need to be able to stop such a heavy vehicle better.
I see a lot of good reviews about the defenders like you said, but after this experience with michelin I am kind of...
Congrats! That color, when the car is clean especially, will age like a fine wine and i think the best of all. Just got mine a month ago (in underground because previous car was blue, needed a switch up)…. But in my opinion the oil change frequency comes down to a few things. 1) how much do you...
I should’ve specified before (thanks for the add on the ko2 as well) because i agree, they michelin trails’s are not terrible in everyday driving+dirt/gravel road offroading, they get the job done for sure (did a trip in November where i thought they did decent)… i was just shocked at how bad...
In my mind, seems ridiculous to remove… but the photo of that ice cap white 4runner with it removed looks clean as hell, cant lie…. I think it would look pretty good the more I get used to it. Think the color matters tho. Lighter being better. Dont know why I imagine this to be the case though^...
Just wanted to give a quick review of how my 25’ ORP hybrid and the Michelin LTX Trail held up (on 18’ trd pro black wheel) in this snowstorm the northeast is getting tonight…. 1500 miles so still brand new tires (got the car in nov)… I was very surprised at how terrible these were in the snow...
So 2 questions because i got the same meso dome light
1) are u just leaving the meso lights without a frame over them? I think it looks alright but would love if they made a double button frame/light cap to dim the white leds a bit…
2) did you have to drill a hole in the dome light housing for...
