    Snow Tires Without Studs Are Worthless.

    Not in my experience. Wrg4 suv on a 2012 gx460 amd 2021 Highlander Hybrid awd are just as good as the best snow tires I've used.

    4Runner Ride Quality/Experience - always so stiff?

    If you like the capability of a 4Runner but hate the ride have a test drive in a Lexus GX.

    Nokian WRG4

    Having 2 sets of wheels, winter/summer changeover on 3 (4Runner, Highlander, LX570) of the 4 vehicles I maintain all a pain in my rear and never again after experiencing a year and 20,000k miles with the WRG4SUV on my GX460.

    CZ-75 vs HK45 vs FN FNX

    Without a doubt.......CZ 75. My Protek 1 (CZ 75 Compact PCR) by CZ Customs runs circles around all my other tuned DA/SA guns from Beretta(92 G Elite LTT), Sig(P226 Legion w/ Gray Guns trigger job), and HK (P30 w/ GG trigger job).

    Joined the 4Runner club!

    Congrats! If they build them like they did this 1997 4Runner and you do your part you should have no problem driving it for 21 years and more. I got tired of it though and upgraded to a 2019 LX570. Will not sell the 4Runner though.

    Winter Driving

    Past 10 years I've been averaging 35K miles annually and I drive mostly in the snow belt of the Upper Midwest and the Northeast. I made due with a 1997 2WD Toyota 4Runner with Blizzak DM-V1's during severe snow storms and the tires, the SUV, and my experience, has gotten me to my destination and...

    Looking for 7-8 Passenger vehicle capable in snow/good MPG

    With your budget find a well-maintained one owner 2010+ Lexus RX Hybrid or gas motor version. Lexus jump-started the current cross-over rage back in 1998 when they introduced their RX to market. If not the RX the Highlander Hybrid would be my alternate recommendation. My wife's 2013 HH Limited...

    Talk me out of an $85,000 SUV

    LX570 was delivered last thursday. What a beast! Coming up on 1,000 miles already and I received it with 16 miles. I have been driving Toyotas for the past 2 decades and I am so far pleased with the extra perks that Lexus offers vs Toyota. I live nearly 2 hours from the Lexus dealer and they...

    Talk me out of an $85,000 SUV

    Just an update: (I got tired of the 1997 4Runner) So a little over a year later and I recently placed an order for a 2019 Lexus LX570. After sales service was why I went with Lexus LX570 and not a Toyota Land Cruiser. Only other SUV I seriously cross-shopped was the MB G-Wagon. Options I got...

    How & what pistol do you carry concealed?

    I've honestly lost count on the number of handguns and holsters that I own let alone long guns. Having said that: 1.) I prefer pocket carry with my Kahr PM9 in a ballistic nylon pocket holster. I will have a larger capacity/caliber handgun off-body carry in a backpack, tennis bag, duffel, tool...
