    Only way to get tires for that cheap is to be lucky a marketplace or buy absolute dog crap

    So I was about to wire my foglights finally and I’m missing a relay so I gave Alpharex a call and they told me to send them back. So I wasted a lot of time on that only to get told to send them back. So my plan now is to get some diode dynamics ones does anyone have a recommendation for what I should get. I know there’s multiple options for vary different prices but I really just need them for driving use during foggy or snowy conditions

    I have the same lights and love them. The SS3 max fogs are the favorite over in the SAE fog thread but might be a bit overkill.

    It's easier to see with yellow or amber. Also easier on the eyes of oncoming traffic. :thumbsup:

    Well this is one of those bittersweet updates but here goes anyways. Woke up and right away my stereo is dead. White screen of death. Pulling fuse no good, now it’s blinking the button lights in different colors meaning it’s reset to demo mode. I am positively not continuing on without a radio so I’m either going home tonight to get corrected or doing a road repair (probably the first one though so i can get back to playtime faster). My drone also is acting weird, my camera auto-focus stopped and magically came back…All the electronics are revolting against me which is opposite of normal - the end is near!!! :annoyed:

    IMG_6352.jpg

    On the positive side I did explore all the falls inside the OHV park and one outside on private land. Too many to post here, I’ll share a few for now and just say if anyone is considering exploring those ones down in the canyon - don’t do it when the rocks are wet, it gets super duper sketchy and you will absolutely go for a swim or fall off the cliff. Lots of pucker factor today but none had anything to do with 4x4 lol.

    Offline for a while to figure things out. If anyone is considering stereo upgrades I’m no longer a Pioneer fan - nothing but troubles on this one, multiple returns/replacements. Going Sony next I think.

    I don't suppose one of you fellas in here has a Tacoma spare wheel in good shape that you aren't using? My current spare is a winter tire but since I will be getting five of the Mickeys I feel like I should have a matching spare for the summer tires and a matching spare for the winter tires

    I wish I had bought the sports as the pro's must be too bright, I get flashed when I use them... But they are amazing when I do!

    Just a steelie would be fine, the spare always gets beat up anyway just by existing where it does.

    I have identified a new level of stupidity, even for me. What’s the saying…doing the same thing expecting different results? FML. Shout-out to Carter at BB in Appleton, 3rd day on the job and had to deal with my insanity lol. Time for some parking lot magic with my spare tool kit!

    Okay-its yours if you want it. Has a brand new unused tire as well. Not sure when I am going to be in your area next; but, you going to be up here any time soon?
