You sure on that one? I can't find any examples of black rhino wheels in 17x8.5" with the kosher lug pattern in anything greater than 0 offset.

My 07 Frontier taught me that lesson, the BFG Long Trails that came on it were similar in name only to what you would get if you walked into discount tire and ordered the same thing. I'm glad they were toast within 12k miles, their wet and dry traction were hot garbage for highway speeds...

Two others I've found, not quite the same offset (+25mm), but close: Icon Vector 6 (~$245, 30 lbs) Method 313 (~$385, 25 lbs) Curiously the Method part number does not appear on their website, although it is all over the retailers and even part of their pictures on their own page: ETA...

Following out of curiosity. I'm not a fan of the tons-of-fasteners look (and weight) that go with beadlock-capable rims, and no desire to stray far from the stock offset value and have the tires poking out of the fenders. Other than the aforementioned Method 703s, I haven't had a ton of luck...

Yeah, I know it doesn't make anything faster. Strange as it sounds it's still something I use daily with the 3.5EB/10 speed in the Navigator. If you leave it in Normal, throttle mapping is very sluggish and it will not downshift under braking until just above idle engine speed in the current...

Have you messed with setting it in Baja mode and then shifting back to 2WD to emulate the missing Sport mode on the street at all?

If anything it would be people saying putting premium in would grenade the poor 10R60 :ROFLMAO:

I don't think anyone can top BMW at the moment. I was really hoping the new 4 series and M3/M4 snout looked better in person than in photos. They don't.

I don't get to say this terribly often, but this is one case where I do think I know what I'm getting into. Wife had a JK wrangler when we met, and I can confirm the usual complaints; steering sucks, solid front axle was squirrely on the highway, leg and knee room for the front row are...

My ranting probably doesn't deserve its own thread but what the hell. The irrational side of me wants a Bronco, in all its 415 lb-ft of torque, center diff, 33"/35" tire glory. That said, I will likely not take the top off. I get enough sun, rain and mosquitos in my fixed roof vehicles as it...

This looks great. I had a 2007 frontier for eight years and 150k-ish miles and it was really a great little truck, and boringly reliable to boot. My dad still has it, and other than replacing a few coils he hasn't had to do anything to is except gas, tires and fluids. The D40 generation was...

At least the 4runner has aged remarkably well for something as late in the generation as it is now. Well, the outside anyways. Inside, eeeeeeeeh...

BMW blues (Estori and the latest Portimao come to mind) and BRG are longtime favorites of mine. Rich colors without being garish.

That would be more appreciable if there weren't already a fair number of example of dash materials that are every bit as durable and waterproof as not-yet-spaghettied tupperware without feeling to the touch like said tupperware. No one here wants Lexus materials, they just don't want Chevy Aveo...

Man the blue leather takes me back to the glory days of 90s GM trucks/SUVs with blue and maroon interiors as options (and everything on the inside was that color), I can't hate on it too much. The accent colors though, yeah, they're bad.

We have it on the Navigator and it has become habit for me to either switch it off or flip into Sport mode which disables automatically every time I get in the vehicle. If I had a commute that involved a large number of stoplights, I might have a little more optimism at the efficacy of the...

If someone is keen enough on this that it influences their vehicle-buying process, they're out shopping for a Toyota Camry that they will drive for the next 200k miles. This is a forum of people looking at a $30k+ BOF SUV (with bonus points for paying MSRP+ for a first or second model year)...

I'm looking forward to them if only for instrumented testing, especially acceleration and braking, between the various trim levels/engines. How much you gain by opting for the 2.7 or lose by 'squatchin has been conjecture at this point.

I'm disappointed they don't have faith in me to lose it anyways

Same thing I did with the BMW, minimal steady state speeds, no cruise control use, and no trips to the top third of the tach for the first 1200ish miles, followed by a round of fluid changes (well, engine and transmission oils at least, probably let the diffs marinate a little longer)
