    LR4 Tires

    Check out the 20" Cooper Zeon LTZ's great all around offroad tire. I average 45-50k miles on each set. Good price, comfortable ride on and off road. And they now have a 20".

    Melting Steering Wheel

    I have been using the Maguire leather care wipes and it helps to cure the leather issues on the wheel. Mine was peeling (melting) pretty badly, and due to high mileage, it's off warranty and can't get it on extended. With the leather care wipes, it has really made a huge difference.
