Just out of curiosity I looked on online and for 35x12.50x15s the price difference between the MTR Kevlars and the TrXus MTs is only $180 at Quadratec and $172 at 4WD Hardware for a set of 4 tires. I would imagine that there would be a much larger price difference if procured locally though.

I was quoting 5 tires using various sources, but still, that's mucho when the MTRs have such a great rep.

Sure. Imprezas are in the $40s, too, for people who want leather, nav, bun warmers, locking diffs and stuff.

I paid $46k for mine. No complaints, except that for that $$$ it should come with a 5.7L (since you can get the V8 for much less in other Chrysler products).

n00b asking:
How is the interior noise with the hardtops? I'm thinking about selling my gto and picking up a fun truck/suv. (either the wrangler or fj cruiser) |

not too bad. we did a road trip to Watkins Glen in June and we had no issues carrying on a conversation the entire way. There are a few options for inserts for the hard top that are meant to help with heat transfer (a problem on dark colors) but have the side benefit of lowering road noise.
there was more tire noise and wind noise from the boxy shape than the hard top. The soft top is known to howl a bit at speed. |

I miss my 4x4's. I had a 3" lifted Rodeo on 32"s that was a tank until it died (Stupid Isuzu Abs brakes,) a 4" lifted and dual locked on 37's 99' K1500 Suburban with 350hp that would go anywhere it fit, and a 2" lifted 2003 Yukon XL on 33"s that did pretty well. Now I have access to a 2001 Yukon XL on 32"s that gets stuck a lot but is ok for mild stuff and an fussy as hell 76' Scout with a 4" lift, 35"s and built 345 that needs lockers. I need to build another full size rig.

I helped rebuild the Scout from the tires up for my best friend's son. 11 months later and it's still PITA. Old trucks are fun. We pulled it apart Jan 1 2012. The last niggle is a malfunctioning fuel gauge....but it makes about 365 HP and 425 lb ft of tq now with a 4 spd manual. I spent a few hours under it today.
