    Looks like a blast. wheeled it a handful of times when I lived up your way, but for some reason we only went when there was a bunch of snow on the ground. Looks so much more enjoyable in your photos. Beautiful part of the state!

    Done the snow wheeling, rain wheeling and dry wheeling up there. It's a quick and easy little trail system that is only a little over 1.5hrs from the house so I try to go often. Since it seems to take a lot more coordination with friends and schedules to get to the more challenging trails and parks that are much further away from the house.

    Pirelli Scorpion All Season Plus 3.

    Seemed to be the best rated tires i could find for the size I needed. As far as handling, comfort and low road noise

    I've at least moved on to buying tires for a different vehicle now. Still love my Mickey's for the Tacoma! So trying to find tires I love as much for the Highlander.

    Well that only makes sense. We are probably getting a GX460 for the wife later this year so then I’ll be spending all my time picking tires for that truck.

    Two more mods done.

    Figured the newly refreshed interior could use an upgraded head unit with a larger screen for my old eyes... (the screen on the Highlander has spoiled me)

    So I put in a Dasaita 10.2" unit.




    Then, after the last offroading trip, I finally got around to trimming the front fenders. (Hope to do the rears this coming weekend.)

    All fenders are now trimmed! Added some stainless hardware to help keep the flares secured.
