First-gen Highlander? Going by the info on Rock Auto, driver front motor has 6 pins while driver rear has 2 pins, so no.

 

What does getting/not getting a COVID shot have to do, in any way, with a tire shortage? We're like 80% vaxxed as a country already. They're not holding back tires waiting for people to get a shot. That line of thinking is really no different than believing in a tire shortage. anecdotal evidence from one person in one town isn't really anything. All due respect.

That said, you either need tires or you don't. If you do, you'll find out if it's real. If you don't,

 

Good thing I got my Viet Cong tires in February

 

I’ve been getting my rubber from these two sites for years now;
https://www.blackcircles.ca/en
https://www.4tires.ca/
Whichever site is running the best deal is the site I go with.

Never any issues, get the rubber within a week of placing order, manufacture date codes all within 12-15 months. Both sites based out of QC.
I get them delivered to my door, so I can’t speak to the direct to tire shop option for black circles.

Got my General Grabber Arctic LTs from blackcircles yesterday.

 

1010tires I have had good experience in the past with online purch for my winter's. They also have a shop in mississauga. Kal tire is now in my good standing for my last set as they will price match any online price and still provide road hazard wareantyand free alignment check.

 

sadly 4Wparts (at least Burlington) no long has connections with Cooper tires

so i gotta go to a specialty place for my ST MAXXs...

 

Today I learned all the running lights and side markers front and rear are fed by a single 7.5A fuse labeled TAIL under the dash. All part of the fun of troubleshooting without a wiring diagram...

 

Like, just Cooper specifically, or their whole line of subsidiaries? They make mastercraft, Mickey Thompson, dick cepek, etc

 

i think it's just cooper specifically. the one in burlington had a guy they they usually call but they don't talk anymore for whatever reason.


might be just that store.

 

Had to go to Kal-tire out west after a puncture. Fixed me up within 1/2 hour and didn't charge me a dime. Went back and bought my next set of tires through them because I was so happy their service.

 

If you guys need tires decently quick let me know lol, I still kept my connections at Toyota despite me not working there anymore. I got my snows and steelies in less than 12 hours ordered. We have a bunch of connections with warehouses across Ontario.

 

But can Toyota get me 37s

 

I've done it before....

 

Would this be a more worthy recovery point than the stock OR hook or just as sketchy?

 

if it had 2 bolts holding it in, i'd say it's pretty damn good for a recovery point. but otherwise, the hook isn't easy to access than a bow shackle.

 

There are 2 bolts. The hook is likely easier but I don't necessarily trust it.

 

With any tow or recovery point I always imagine a big crane hooking up to it and lifting the whole truck vertical into the air. And I ask myself would I trust the recovery point to hold?

This is somewhat interesting.

 

At that point, I wouldn't trust the crossmember

 

There is a second bolt just to the left...why not extend that steel plate to include that second bolt.
