    That is the wheel I'm currently running on my 4runner. I'm moving away from 16s to get the size I'd like to try next. I might have a set of 5 for sale here soon also

    They are not off my list, just not high on it. I'm reluctant because of my last set. I've seen some getting better mileage out of them. 5 tire rotation skews the numbers a little also. @Gramps is getting decent wear out of a fatter tire.

    ive had 285 75 16 on my truck for two years. I know you think the nittos are too bro but they have performed really well at least the trail grapplers ive had were good. as expected for a MT on ice but otherwise ive not been disappointed except that they weigh a bit more than I would like. I wish the new exo grappler was in a 16 in tire but ive been considering going to a 255 85 next but your experience with the coopers has me second guessing that and considering either the BFG or the Nitto again

    @Nazupag524 whats the size of your barn?

    I went out and marked the corners and it looks so small. Which is usually how it is. But I'm thinking of bumping it up by 10ft to 40x70 which includes 40x30 of living area.

    Harder to paint? Or just doesn't adhere as well? Need to get rid of the woodgrain.

    Not necessarily harder to paint, there is more prep, but if you wrap or plastidip it, and if you decided to get rid of the vehicle both of those methods are easily reversible

    *edit
    BTW that would be super easy to wrap.

    If you can pop the pieces off, get wrap in whatever color you want and its easy. I wrapped some stuff before and came out awesome. Thats all pretty easy stuff to do as well as far as bends.

    Any kind of specific wrap to use? I'll probably just go with a flat black.

    I think this is the brand I used on the hood. It stayed on there very well, never started to peel after I got it on.

    30'x48'. I wish I could've gone bigger, but that's the biggest one I could fit in the space I have. Take into consideration multiples of 12' or 6' or else you'll be paying more for material you might not use.

    Yeah, its a manufactured steel building so I wont be dealing with any of the typical concerns since it'll show up on a truck and go up like legos. Framing, walls, windows, doors, insulation. No bi-annual staining, painting, caulking, etc... 40x60 is a pretty common size but may do the 40x70 since I dont want the garage to be small. Eventually I'll cover the outside in reclaimed wood so no regular siding of any of that crap.

    New bigger exhaust to compliment the sc. 3" from the y back, with a borla muffler sounds really nice. Just a bit louder than I wanted. So I might throw a resonator in to see if that knocks down the tone some.
