Given how car crazy we are I find it interesting how little people know about cars or how to operate them.

In the 4wd community there are folks who claim Detroit lockers are the best option in slick condition because it’s predictable. In other words you will always be on the verge of loosing control. No...

So getting this thread back on track to arguing about 2wd vs 4/AWD....I think most of the cluster fucks I've been stuck in were a result of people not being able to drive up the hill, not that they...

Toyota calls two completely different platforms "Land Cruisers" depending on what country you are in. Since we're talking about vehicles in the US GX=4runner, LX=Land Cruiser, we don't get Prados....

You are correct, GX470, not LX350 (really screwed that one up). The 4 runners hold their value way better than the GX so you can get more for your money. Things like leather, V8, the fancy hydraulic...

05 to 09 outbacks came with a turbo and the manuals were wicked fun to drive. Piles of shit though. They dropped the turbo in 10 and improved the shit rear suspension design, the newer V6 may have...

You and I both. 2005 XT was a fun car to drive while it worked but got sick of fixing it. It seems Subis either last forever or are total piles of shit. Not sure it classifies as a "lemon" when the...

Thanks for the reminder. Forgot to put that damn thing in the car after I switched over to the snows.

What Toyota? Our Highlander (2017) remembers both sets. Discount tire programmed the new sensors when we bought snows and it remains happy when I switch them out. Until it gets 3 degrees warmer or...

Best post in here. Thank you!



M&S doesn't really mean shit. Tire companies are generally pretty responsible about the use of M&S but don't take it at face value. I have BFG KM2s on my jeep...

As long as Trump keeps on keeping tele alive I’ll sport a MAGA sticker!

Mostly true regarding trucks however a 1 ton diesel 4wd with decent tires is going to get you through a lot more than any car/suv (excursion excepted). stopping while going around a curve or on an...

If we were all standing at the bottom of a snow covered hill I'd put my money on the AWD with all seasons. He has power to all 4 and isn't dragging the rolling resistance of two tires, even if those...

This works with 4wd vehicles with locking transfer cases, most of your SUVs running around are AWD without a locking transfer case though. I can make all kinds of arguments about how a 4WD manual...

And that folks is why I-70 is a complete shit show. Only those summer tires are often on 2wd cars. I’d be happy if everyone out here had at least decent all weathers.
