Correct, but I beleive you hold it forward. Back is cancel. I do wish the Radar mode would be in 1pmh increments. In a 60 zone, I'd like to travel 68 not 65 or 70 (I subscribe to "Nine you're fine, ten you're mine"). The radar will hold 68 upon first set but any further adjustmens round to 65 of 70.

Correct, back as in towards the front of the vehicle is for changing the radar to normal cruise. Forward towards driver is cancel cruise.
 
My toyota emblem was iced up on the interstate so the radar cruise wasn't working. Found out you can press and hold the cruise control stalk back to switch to regular cruise without radar. Also, in regular cruise mode you can adjust the speed in 1mph increments as opposed to 5mph in radar mode. Never knew that. Maybe I'm just late to the show.

My 2016 will adjust radar cruise in 1 mph increments. I didn’t realize the earlier 200s adjusted in 5s.
 
good catch Tony. One of our local members found the 80 series fan blades for $7. She bought all they had. was handing them out at the last club meeting.
makes me want to start searching for random cruiser parts, just to see what else comes up.
 
Speaking of deals, are there any Amazon or other online deals for OEM windshield wiper blades refill (front, passenger, rear)? Looking for just the rubber ends, not the entire blade itself?
 
Well that was interesting.

Wife has been in severe pain all night, she's either got a kidney infection or a stone. About 30 mins ago I finally convinced her to let me take her to the ER.

Get her in the Cruiser, it's raining and right about freezing out, dash temp says 33d. Got to the end of the driveway, pulled out onto the street and eased into the gas, boom the truck lost all traction and did a perfect pirouette in the middle of the street. Spun all the way around. Wife shreiking the entire time, and not from the pain.

WTF... Doesn't this thing have any traction or stability control at all? No beeping, no warning bells, nothing. Our '04 Highlander is much better behaved than this. Unfortunately it is still in the body shop or we would have swapped vehicles.

Got the truck back to the garage, she refused to let me go any further. Will try again in the morning.

These KO2 tires are great in deep snow, but wow do they suck on ice.

Hope she is okay, I have lots of classmates in the medical world in NH, I can give a shout out to a few if helpful.

As for the KO2s - I love them for 98% of everything. The 2% is anything cold and slick. I did 9 years in NH and the KO2s were not my best friend in the ice storms.
 
Thanks. She had a few oxy's left over from leg surgery last year, so she's getting through the night with that.
 
SQOD: I've never renewed the subscription for the Safety Connect service. So, it occurred to me yesterday, what happens if I push the SOS button now? Anything? Nothing? Do they even answer? Just curious.

Go Pats.

Push the button and find out :bang:
 
Asked in the ARB bumper thread but figured this may get a wider audience.

Does anyone know of a link to instructions for the ARB rear bumper with swing outs or have a paper copy that they no longer need? Would be happy to provide some beer money. TIA
 
Here are pics of all the stuff I use frequently.
First pic are the waxes I use for different seasons. Collonite make a very popular boat wax which is how I found the the 845 is the easiest wax I have ever used. If I don't have to clay I want the whole truck in less than 60 min.
The P21s goes on the M5 and has awesome depth but doesn't last very long.
I use the 476s on the land cruiser and GL if I have more time. The 915 is for the black GL when I have all day.
Wheel wax is a great product to apply to new wheels so the break dust washes away easier.
Second pic shows the Daytona wheel brushes for getting between spokes and reaching in and getting the inside of the wheel. Also the boarshair brush is for the wheel face.
I always use multiple microfiber mitts and mothers soap.
The last pic is an essential. These are called Grit Guards. They go an the bottom of your buckets so the grit falls of of reach of your washing mitt. I use three buckets. One for soap and two for rinsing the washing mitt before putting it back into the soap.
I use the Adams spray wax on my waffle towel when I'm drying the vehicles.
I take really good care of my cars and trucks.
