    They look great! Trying to decide between these and Wildpeaks. Have heard great things about both. If anybody has experience with both, would love to hear your opinion.

    Recently I posted a video showing where my almost 6 yr old jump starter pack casing exploded due to battery swelling.

    For my other jumper starter pack Aukey (Ordered on February 9, 2018) I tried to charge plugging in to the wall outlet for 2 days looks like the battery is not charging. It was just flashing but when unplugged there is no charge even enough for the flash light. Visually I don't see any damage to the casing but internally I do not know what is the status of the battery. May be safe to dispose it safely.

    Edit -
    I opened the casing. Visually no damage to the battery. But I did smell some strong gas smell. (Could be the smell of glue).

    Just replaced my fan/blower motor - SUPER easy on a 2016 limited. Three screws, one plug, and 30 minutes. No more fan speed issues, no more noises, blowing like a champ!

    I took it hunting up a gnarly road. First time engaging the locker and using the crawl control. Very impressed and so glad I have the clearance to venture out. My Buddy with me said it was fancy with all the 'batmobile buttons' haha...now he wants a 4runner, even though he was teasing me for lifting a 4runner.

    Can’t go wrong with Wildpeaks or Baja Boss.
    There are many many threads discussing people’s experiences with these exact tires.

    Mickey Thompsons clearly are the superior choice…I have to say that cuz I slapped a massive MT sticker on my 4R. Wildpeaks are a heavier tire but the rest of the specs and performance are:
