    Idk, it doesn't look all that bad, just rock it back and forth a few times in 4lo and it should pop right out.

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    I tested the water with a stick where I thought my tires would go but I slid like 3 ft over into some deep ruts.
    You are absolutely correct it doesn't look very deep but I am completely high centered. I tried crawl control in reverse and forward for like 15 minutes each

    This is why I carry hip waders when I go exploring. :D

    Not just to check depth, but bottom composition.

    That is why I like rocks and such... I can see the potential outcome versus a guestimate of my odds at making it. Mud holes are my scary snake! Hate them with a passion! Plus, you have a lot of clean up...

    Not taking any chances there!!

    Random questions here. Going to order some TRD wheels from my dealer. Should a guy go 16in or 17in? What size tire should I get as well?

    For best off-road performance, get 16's. Otherwise, get whichever ones look better to you.

    As far as tires, I'd go with something like a 37x 13.5x 16 personally. :D

    Personally I'd get 17" wheels. Seems to have more tire options. Stock size would be 265/65 R17. Or could go to a 265/70 R17 which is approximately 1" larger in diameter and probably not have any rubbing issues.

    If you want to go larger then there will be cutting.....

    Thanks yeah I was thinking 17 as well but just did not know. I like the look of the 17in better anyways.

    I went 16. Wish I had gone 17-there are more tire choices in what I like...

    That is not a dumb question, water has definitely gotten inside before but thankfully not this time. I am out, will be posting pictures shortly!

    Debbie got the 'beetus, all that corn syrup. I'm talking to a Keebler elf lady now but she's always busy baking. Might have to find a new sugar mama.

    Living up to those new plates, sweet!! Serious though glad you got out lol.

    If it scares Pat you know it's legit.

    17 inches all day. 16 inch theoretically is "better" because more sidewall for offroading but the difference is negligible. 17's are better on the road, more wheel size and style options, LOTS more tire options.

    17 for options and affordability. And get 32 inch Falken Wildpeaks, obv :D

    It's not 2013 anymore. Lot less tire options on 16s these days.
