    which tars did you go with?

    After my trip into Baltimore city yesterday, I'm 100% convinced that I need a full blown long travel suspension upgrade to deal with the streets. I wonder if a Tundy suspension would bolt in ( the way that the Frontiers can use Titan parts to gain 10" of front travel and look 100% OE).

    My plan is to keep it for 15yrs. That'll be May 2026. If that rust on the lower rear body/rockers behaves/doesn't advance too rapidly, I'll keep it as long as I pass annual Maine inspection. It owes me nothing. That's a nice long life here in Maine and I've used it like a truck. Thousands of off road miles.

    Went with 3rd Gen TRD OR assemblies in the front and 4600's in the rear.

    The Tundra could not have gone where we went.

    Hopefully it'll clean up easily with the fresh coat of wax.

    I've cleaned up similar racing stripes before. Little elbow grease never hurt anyone.
