    So. Many. Stickers.
    At one point there was a link somewhere on Tacoma World to some physics student who did his grand thesis on the traction gains of pizza cutters versus wide tires. It was actually really well put together and easy to understand. Similar conclusion... Pizza cutters are actually more effective and it's a reason why all of the old expedition vehicles like Land Rover defender, 110's use them all across the Sahara, etc.

    Do not the river.

    Bet

    Good.

    Well... :anonymous:

    Relentless Fab hybrid bumper, 2.5” Dobinsons IMS lift, RCI skids and sliders, block heater. Painted FJ Steelies. Was trying to keep it stock, now slowly building for the Wisconsin trails.
    I certainly could have done that as well. If I remember correctly I'm not at the max recommended seat height. It was just easy to order the spacer with the kit and it was my oversize in not installing it in the first place.

    Hey Tigerton camp site partner! Will you be having these magic beans brewing in a couple weeks? I'm no connoisseur of fine coffees, but I know what I like. I'm interested in trying this brew yous guys speak so highly of...

    My current favorite is a bag only occasionally available in one of our stores. It was recommended by a friend, and when I say I know what I like... I love this stuff.

    Are you thinking about being at the brewery at 3? Or, leaving around 3?

    Just curious... In case I wind up in the area for some odd reason.;)

    This definitely has me reconsidering skinnies for the 4Runner. I hate the way they look. But, for some reason, I think they look good on the tacos.

    On the other hand, seeing the way the BFG's flexed made me think a lot of it comes down to the tire itself.

    Tune is completed! He originally put me on normal and then had me go for a test drive. Turned on ECT and liked how the sport throttle felt much better so now I'm on the most aggressive tune. Also My next tires we'll also be skinnies.
