    Gotta love the snow. It got delayed. And yup, aircraft carrier.

    I should go out with you one day. It's been years since I've been out. I don't think I could even dig up my wet suit! I left my board with my parents in NC.

    I need an awning also. There is an ARB awning for $200 on CL right now.

    awning GB? :D

    Where are you getting your brake lines from?

    I need the upgrade.

    How and why do we stop getting notifications? I stopped getting them also

    I am glad I have 17s :D

    What's up with the random switch names?

    I like the first item needed for the install on the instructions. We could always use strippers for our installs.

    The V6 and the V8 make similar power. The V8 torque is slightly higher. The V8 sounds awesome, where the V6 sounds like...Well, a V6. Fuel economy is similar assuming you keep your foot out of it, though the V8 only needs the cheapest gas you can find. The V6 does better on Mid grade.

    Didn't know you were 17's. I thought about getting the TRD Pro 4Runner rims but 17" tires are expensive.

    One of my best friends lives in VB...when I go visit him and if one or both Carriers are in port...nothing but frik'in jets flying over like every 2 seconds!! Talk about loud...but you get use to them after a couple days. Have you been over to look at the BattleShip Wisconsin? Man what a ship that is!

    Yeah that's Ramon with scangauge. I installed a trans temp gauge...more old skool. The guy did a great job on all the wiring. Fiberglas is good too...although not perfect. I might re-bondo mine...there's a few pit marks and whatnot. Just needs maybe 1 more fine coat and a real good sanding. Although I could probably hang it and no one would notice.

    I didn't know you had 17's...I'm jealous!

    I didn't know what I was going to wire up to these switches...so I bought on/off switches and just came up with goof name switches for my autistic son, who's name is Dakota. He'll get a big kick out of them...especially with his name on them. Once I determine what I'm going to wire them to...I'll just order new switch covers...they're only $5.50 each.

    Hell yeah...unfortunately the strippers were extra.
    We need an ARB group buy! Someone attempted to start one over on T4R.org but it fell apart. What do you say @ramonortiz55 ? It that plausible to do?

    Hard to compare prices between rim size with two different tires. I've been looking at prices on 16" and 17" KO2's and Duratracs. Both the 17's are more expensive. Sticking with 16" rims, I hate metric tire sizes so I wish I could go to 15's lol
