    My new Expedition-grade roof rack

    Nah brah, tall and skinny is safer Just wait until I get that 60" LED bar on the front of that rack. Then it will be even safer! But I'll have so save up for a while for that, so I think I'll just wire up the six 7" HID's I took off my last Toyota

    My new Expedition-grade roof rack

    Made room inside for my ARB fridge/freezer and deep-cycle battery My roof rack holds more than your roof rack.... Does anyone know if Cooper makes a ST Maxx in 155/80R13? I could really use an E-load range tire

    Thinking on 97-99 K2500 'Burban. Feedback?

    The newer bodystyle (2000-2006) has come down so far in price, it might make sense to take a look. Generally, the LS series motors are a step up from the old 5.7s. If you're looking at a 3/4 ton (2500) then it would be a 6.0L. I've owned both style Subs: a 1996 7.4L, a 1999 5.7L, and a 2003...

    Road & Track reviews the 2014Runner

    I read the articles and didn't see them hating on real trucks. They complimented the Runner for having great off-road capability. From a sales and marketing perspective, most competitors are now just large crossovers (no frame). Both have their merits, but they cater to different customers...

    Tire decision help

    Good to know I have friends there that cannot get certain wheel/tire combo approved by the TÜV on their sports cars, so I was reasonably certain it would be the same story

    Tire decision help

    We've been through this before.....the Sub 3/4 has the same basic suspension/platform as the Hummer H2 which was engineered for 315/70R17s. So my Sub was fitted with H2 severe duty tie rod ends, upper and lower ball joints, control arm and swaybar bushings, and swaybar ends. The wheels are...

    Tire decision help

    My wheel and tire combo doesn't compromise safety or stability. And they're almost exactly the same weight as the stock LT245/75R16E tires and stock aluminum wheels. Based on comments here and in related threads, I'd tend to disagree that people understand what compromises in safety they make...

    2014 Tundra

    No, what I said was that a numerically higher gear NEEDS to be larger than a numerically lower gear or it will be WEAKER. Re-read the engineering from my previous post if you care why. A 9" 4.30:1 ring and pinion will be weaker than a 9" 3.73:1 ring and pinion. A 10.5" 4.30:1 ring and pinion is...

    2014 Tundra

    I didn't single anyone out. Sheeple are simply those in groups willing to follow. I think that fits the "Expedition Vehicles" section of Expedition Portal pretty well, with some notable exceptions. Again, not aimed at any one specific person. And no foul language. Yes, I think it's perfectly...

    I'm a ************** because I have a dissenting opinion and I'm willing to back it up? Grow some thicker skin, there have been no personal attacks or name calling in this thread......oh, wait

    2014 Tundra

    My mind is still open if anyone can provide proof that the current Toyota Tundra is better or stronger than any other half ton pickup. So far not one person has stepped up and provided their own data That's great! Because it is a 1/2 ton. Yet you decided to incorrectly call me out on it...

    Where is YOUR supporting evidence otherwise? Have you provided ONE fact, diagram, photo, video, anecdote, or otherwise? GM would have avoided bankruptcy if their legacy costs for union employees weren't billions more than Toyota. You know, the costs of pensions and health insurance for all of...

    2014 Tundra

    Then please support your viewpoint, and back it up with some facts. Thus far you have presented zero. Nothing to consider with an open mind. No data. No nothing. Do you have anything to contribute? Or are you just trying to squelch a dissenting view? I couldn't care less what you think of me...

    2014 Tundra

    Yes, those two highlighted statements are completely and totally false. The dealerships must purchase the parts from Toyota, then bill Toyota at their warranty rate structure which allows a reasonable profit to the dealership. This works the same way at every single Toyota dealership in the...

    2014 Tundra

    I like Toyotas just fine. They have their strengths and weaknesses, just like any other brand. The Tundra, however, is not built any 'better' overall than a Ford, Nissan, GM, or Ram. I wish Toyota would actually do what you guys are saying they do, and make a Tundra that is actually better-built...
