What have you done to your 5th Gen 4Runner today?

Interesting. I had KO2s on my Tundra for 55k miles here in Indy and had no complaints. If they had made KO2s in 285/70-18s I'd have gotten another set.

 

Not to start an argument. Yes, rubber changes with temperature, absolutely.
Read about winter tires (they are a very valuable tool!) That & the siping is the key!

 

GT Radial??

 

I had no problem with them on my Taco in CO. We haven't had much cold/snow yet, only a couple of days, and they were fine on the 4Runner. I guess I'll find out this weekend if I slide off the road in the mountains. They are 3 peak rated, so I wouldn't expect them to be trash. Maybe the milder temps here are the difference.

 

WOOP WOOP..! Saweet..! Congrats Jen.. I'm hoping to order mine soon

 

I'm gonna do the wait a "minute" thing and order a GOBI... we'll see how long it takes.

 

Installed my Rago Fab molle panels (still waiting on the top shelf). Just over a week ago I installed my computer mount and dash mat. I also put Carcraft Carhartt seat covers on my rear seats. The head rest covers were too tight to get on but the seats fit well.

 

Received my Factory Skid Today. Definitely no Filter access Door. I like that it has a designated spot for a floor jack which is nice.
It’s beefier than the TRD accessory one I had on my 2nd gen Tacoma. This part# was also used on the FJ.

Also I’m looking for a Meso Custom Extended Fuse Cover if anyone has one they want to part with.

 

Not sure? I've read many at 4r.org and in the ford trucks forum experience same as me. Maybe they sub them out from different suppliers?

 

Still waiting on the shelf, was disappointed it wasn't in the box. The seat covers are more like a heavy duty canvas... https://www.covercraft.com/us/en/product/carhartt-precision-fit-custom-seat-covers.CGT-GTCA

I have a ton of Milwaukee, hey haven't let me down yet. They are expensive but worth it.

 

Darn it. I've been telling myself I dont want the skid plate. You just changed my mind!

 

As of Saturday I told by a reliable source that there was two of this Type left in The Southeast Region. This is one of them.

 

Yea... just came down to I like the look of it the most. I’ve seen a couple here in town and really like the build.

 

The seat covers are pretty heavy duty. The guys at work have them in their work truck and they hold up well. If you want better pics let me know. The Carhartt version only has 2 colors, a brown and grey.

 

I think I have a problem!

 

Yeah, sorry about that. Next time Dewalt eh?

 

Never!! Dewalt is good. But, their hole-hawg is gigantic! The fuel hole-hawg is what did me in. No regrets!

 

This is weird. I've been completely happy with my KO2's so far. I hear mixed reviews.

I'll say that there are surely tires that are better in snow. Also, there are surely tires that are better in rain. But, none of those tires can probably hang with them off-road.

I think the KO2's are unbeatable as a do-it-all tire.

I have had no problems in rain or snow. I tend to drive less aggressively according to conditions, though.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, this is a partial of my addiction.

 

The batteries, lights, and warranty did it for me. The hole hawg is bad ass. 2" holes on 12" spaced rafters all day long with no issues.

 

Holy sh*t!! You might be worse than me!

We need a support group. MTAA (Milwaukee tool addicts anonymous)

The problem is: every time I talk to another tool nut, they tell me about another tool that I NEED!

BTW, that picture on the tonneau cover is old... And I didn't even have all of my tools in it!

 

The table saw, tree saw, 3" circular saw (tile, metal, plexi), blowers, rt angle impact wrenches, fishing sticks, nailers, staplers, water pump, oh my. Sorry

 

I guess there's worse addictions!

At least the tools make us more productive at our jobs.

More productive = make more money...

Make more money = spend more money on 4runner!

 

Not affiliated with Milwaukee tools in any way. And, this is not a lie, like when the Amsoil guys show up on EVERY oil thread.

I'm just an electrician with a problem.

 

lol, seems tools are like politics. Current job is stocked with Milwaukee and gets used hard, lasts about a year with the morons I work with. That said I chose the junk dewalt you referred to for home . Takes more abuse imo. Actually my old work had Hitachi. those things were literally bullet proof

 

I've owned Dewalt and had good luck with them. They are Milwaukee's biggest competition, it seems. You can't really lose with either one. It boils down to personal preference.

There are other good brands as well. It depends on your use. Even Ryobi makes some really nice tools.

Back when I had a Dewalt 14.4 XRP, I dropped it, TWICE, off of a scissor lift onto concrete. 20', and it kept working. They are heavy duty just like Milwaukee.

 

Work is my way of rationalizing.

But, I use them for both.

I got hooked when I worked at a shop that provided Milwaukee tools.

 

Any update on the performance? Thanks

 

I hear ya, there all good. Just the clowns I work with have no respect for tools so they literally make a cut/ drill a hole and throw them on the concrete.

 

For tools i use ryobi, dewalt, craftsman, tekton, gear wrench and whatever else i find on sale.... Hell i got a ryobi drill that i have had 3 years still running strong on the same 2 batteries i started with. My father uses Milwaukee, and i do like the power and weight/size of them compared to the tools i own, but not enough to spend the added price on em. But i use hand tools more than power tools... Give me an Ingersoll Rand impact and some good wrenches, ratchets, and impact sockets and im a happy man.

Hell I get around 50-60% off snap on and Matco tools... A deal they gave students in the auto school... But even with that discount they are still RIDICULOUSLY expensive. If ALL TOOLS in the world were the same price id use ALL matco... Love em. Thats what i use in school when given the option between snap-on and matco.... But im not paying 10 times the price ... Even if some are made better, they are not made 10 times better IMO. Even craftsman has a lifetime warranty... And i may wear out a 10mm craftsman socket... But hell i can buy 20 of em for the price of 1 snap-on while i wait on the warranty.


Still i get jealous when i see the guys with a shit ton of high quality tools... Half the time they look brand new and i just think.... Send em to me, ill use the shit out of em LOL
