Thanks

Bridgestone Dueler H/L on the RX

They handle our torrential down pours with ease.....everyone is pulling over and "hiding" and I am cruising 70-75

No SNOW report ..that is why I am down here BUT they are M&S rated.

 

One was a 90's 4runner, one was a bronco, last was a Geo tracker. All were very well built.

 

I can honestly say I have never made tires go all the way bald. For some reason I always have some sort of catastrophic failure or I sell them before they get bald.

 

They have some tread ,but won't make it through next winter and we're giving this to our youngest next year so I'd rather it be safe for him.

 

Denis what size are they?

 

235/7516

 

Hancook Dynapro HT--great tire

 

Actually 235/7016

 

Michelin ltx ms2. They were on my taco when I got it. Awesome all season tire, grassy in the rain and great in the snow. Super quiet and I think they have a 60,000 mile warranty

 

Saw this fwiw you guys probably already know just posting in case someone is interested

 

I picked up a BAMF rear antenna mount,

$79 Uniden Pro520XL Pro Series 40-Channel CB Radio. Compact Design. ANL Switch and PA/CB Switch. 7 Watts of Audio Output and Instant Emergency Channel 9. - Black

Uniden Pro520XL, and a NGP 4' Firestick to install in my truck. I haven't dug into the install yet, but I'm curious about what might be a good spot to run the antenna wire into the cab. I can't cut the antenna lead and both ends are already attached since it's a tuned system, so a relatively small hole with a grommet is out. What would be a good spot to run the cable through, anybody else with a similar setup?

 

I ran mine through the rubber grommet under the passenger seat. Added some silicone to keep the water out. Worked great for 3 years, never had a issue.

 

There's a grommet at the back of the cab, low driver's side. I ran wires for a backup sensor from the bumper into the cab through it. They were the same deal, tuned system so both ends were terminated.

 

Looks like you dodged a bullet here, Mike. @Pugga

Sounds perfect, my rough plan is to run the wire between the tail light and bedside, down to the frame rail, and up to the cab. That was about as far as I'd planned it out, wasn't sure where I could enter the cab from. I'm going to be mounting the radio in the center console and possibly put an external speaker and extend the mic jack through the front of the console.

While I've got the cabin apart, I figured I'd finally install the heated seat kit that I picked up in February. Has anyone had any issues with the airbags while installing theirs?

 

No tranny problems for me.

 

Another option is to come in below the center consol where the e-brake comes into the cab. We did that with Rob's antenna wire.

 

Just unhook the battery if you're nervous, then they can't go off

 

Good, so you know what bathroom to use?
