    That masking paper looks familiar...

    Haven't had a chance to use mine for the touch up spray on the rear bumper yet. I'll get to that after Tigerton. The roll was sitting on the table in the garage where I decided to clean fish, and well, I've been using it for that. Makes cleanup pretty quick and not as messy as newspaper. :thumbsup:

    Like Frank Klepacki. Have all of his stuff on CD and digital.

    This has been me for the last ten years. Got in major trouble at work twice for it.

    Everybody gangster with the accusations until I tell them to pull my medical file which is on file at work and it shows that I have actual genetic hearing loss. Then everybody ready to disappear before a lawyer comes calling for discrimination lol

    So, my tire situation has me down a rabbit hole...

    As of today I will have four good tires and wheels on the 4Runner, and I'll be using one of the 285 toyos as a spare. So, I'm not in a rush to replace the mud tires. But, I am starting to think of my next steps with the 4runner.

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to go with the Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ as my next set of play tires. The question is; stick with the same size or jump up to a 34 or 35.

    I'm already considering a re-gear, regardless of what I do size wise.

    I am also aware of the extra cutting, banging, and trimming I will need to do to clearance them.

    I also know that the steering rack can become an issue with 35s and hard Wheeling. I am okay with this as well.

    And, of course, the expected premature wear on bearings, bushings, Etc.

    So, for those who are already on 35's (or bigger); is there anything else I should be concerned about?

    @pearing , @BEAR_KNIFE_FIGHT , @Supr4Lo , any input would be appreciated.

    If I decide to do all of this, it will probably end up being a winter project this coming year.

    Edit: I realize the 4Runner and Tacoma are different. But, they're similar enough that I figured it's worth asking.


    Edit #2: I'm also fully aware that I don't need 35's. It's just a thought right now. Plus, we all know there's a grey area between "want" and "need" around here.
