Yes, road noise. I'll go out on a limb and say it's even quieter inside the cabin compared to my 200 with Cooper AT3's. Yes, THAT much of a difference. It's really a fantastic tire. When that 100 came back from my son in CO, I needed to replace the tires and knew it was gonna be relegated to a...
Night and day difference in volume. It's as good as any other AT tire out there. You'll now also be able to track down all those interior squeaks and rattles better. 👍
Been following for a while and appreciate being able to stand on the shoulders of giants before I start throwing my own money and time into this, but I have to ask... Plug-n-play would be awesome, don't get me wrong, but perhaps instead of trying to polish this turd, the turd being the factory...
Yep. POR-15 the outside(down there, the blacks match enough for you not to notice), Fluidfilm/NHOU/Woolwax/or the like the body cavity if yo can get to it. It buy's time.
As a side note, set some traps. Lot's of cozy places to call home in the 100. Final tally was 6 when I had my son's 06 shipped home from Colorado. That's two. He was still eating peanut butter while his buddy was detained below. :lol:
FWIW. Still rolling on circa 2012 18" Five Star's. I think these are +40 offset. No rubbing at full lock/stuff at all with 295/70R18's. I've also run 285/75R18 with minimal rubbing. They started as matte black, but blast and coated them gunmetal about a year ago. They've been thoroughly...
Almost 10 years later, that video still breaks my heart.
That defender was only less safe to the driver/owner who fully understood and accepted the risks of not having an airbag and not meeting NHTSA rollover safety standards. The TD5 was probably cleaner than any diesel offered in the US at...
:lol: Thanks, @hoser. I was beginning to doubt myself. I had to go back and read emails from Christo from 2006 to corroborate. Like I said, i don't get rid of anything...
I think we're good. 👍
Full disclosure, I've already told the OP to ship them back if he is unhappy with them and I'll venmo him back what he paid. I'm not out to punk anyone and it's rare, as my wife will confirm with pictures of a garage full of Land Rover and Toyota parts, that I get rid of anything. I just...
For the paltry 3000 units/year that they sell here, I don't think it's worth Toyota's time for them to cater to the US market regardless of LC legend. The current platform is really as good as it gets(for my purposes) as far as a compromise and I hope it doesn't deviate far from this 12+ years...
Having a 100 on 35's(285/75R18) and a spare set of 275/70R18 on steelies afforded me the luxury of trying both. I can vouch that without a regear, 35's are a real kick in the dick for the 200. The 8-speed is all over the place and acceleration and mpg's go into the toilet. The 33.8" 285/70R18...
The majority of states it's either illegal or "limited placement" on what you can attach to your windshield or display above your dash. You should check on you individual state first.
What I use is the ProClip Center Dash Mount #85517 - ProClip Center Dash Mount
Then attach and AMPS mount...
There is another listing in the same general area for $850 if you look. Tires with higher mileage but plenty of tread. You'll get tired of looking at the LTX and replace them before they wear out...
