Wisconsin area events- THIS WEEKEND: kayak camping.

I have one free weekend in Sept, 19-20.
And none in October, unless I did Fri-Sat for the 23-24.
And honestly, that Sept will probably end up for work.
But don't stop asking. Eventually I'll have free time again, and can finally give you your trail stickers!

 

Ugh I gotta stop pushing things into my schedule haha. October and half of November sucks. Then I have patrol.
And class orientation was yesterday we got homework that's estimated to be about 40+ hours.... :'(

 

I hear you. I have two work projects that bill 80 hours each, and have to cover night shifts this whole week, so I'm running 16 hour days until Friday. Thank God for working from home. I'd be mad, but I've pretty much watched everything on Nexflix since march anyhow.

 

I grew up just south of the border in Antioch IL. My moms family was from Kenosha so we spent a lot of time there. Heart breaking seeing all of this chaos. Stay safe out there.

 

Might be saying goodbye to the Yakima tomorrow! I've been wanting to change eventually, and a friend of a friend is interested. 4runner is gonna look naked for awhile.

 

Lucky to work from home! I'm transitioning into my census job. Getting all the training done while class starts to pick up. + My volunteer running the Madison area outdoor emergency care class. I'll literally have Fri/sat/sun. Minus some EMS Saturdays and patrol sats. Ugh homework I'm not looking forward to it

 

What are you replacing it with?

 

Was thinking Bajarack, as I have the ladder already. I'm still looking around, though. I want to safely carry my spare up there on trail runs, and a kayak on other occasions.

I've heard mixed things about Prinsu, though I love the look.

Any other ideas? I'm already indecisive. Might as well get more confused.

 

Gobi and victory are the other ones I see

 

Yeah, both good looking as well.

 

I love my Front Runner.

 

That one’s on my short list. I love the space for tables between the car and the rack.

A little shout out to Benny Hill!

I had it set at 4K resolution but it’s blurry as hell.
Oh well

 

FINALLY (after a year of delays) installed my 265/75r16 BFG KO2s today. LOVE the new look, the added inch+ of height, and the aggressive tread. It was a little less peppy on the highway, and floated a bit more, but it was a windy day and I still had the 5 old tires in the bed... will do more testing on my drive up to High Cliff Park in 2 weeks.

Still deciding if I want to put on the SpiderTrax I bought for my 2013 TRD TX that I never installed. Supposed to help with sway while cornering. Comments welcome.

Next will likely be rocksliders, and last MAYBE a low-profile winch bumper. We'll see how much of that I actually need.

(yes, it's garbage day, no I did not RoundUp my driveway this summer)

 

Looks great! What load range? LT tires require higher pressure. I don't understand the science behind it (aside from added load carrying capacity), but it could be worth messing with. I ran my stock size "C" load rated KO2's at 35 as opposed to the door recommended 32 and had good results.

Looking forward to seeing them in person, maybe this fall!

 

What is the tire pressure set at? I’ve seen places that put on E load tires and inflate them to 50 PSI. Then it feels like you are wandering all over the road.

 

They are LT265/75R16/E 123/120R Part number 67179. I'd talked to the dealership (Pomp's) about the load and said to set them at 32. I was going to check them, but was running late for a conference call and forgot to. Let me run up and check them now...

They're still blank. I'll have to drive it some more until the sensors register. But, yes. We had this conversation at the tire dealership and they were specific about not filling it to the pressure on the sidewall (80!) .

 

I think we’re all just bored and tired of being cooped up inside lol
