    Well I put a fairly sizeable series of dents in my roof today!

    I was out by those hills we went to last time and almost made it up... in backing down I slid sideways and caught a large branch to the top of my roof over the driver's head... no such thing as roof armor lol

    Boooo. Jay that is no good! I tell you guys what, it sure is easy to change your mind a lot when building vehicles. Keep thinking about what to change next.

    Bob Ross at Metro Toyota in Kalamazoo treated us right. We went in with a Consumer's Report of the truck with all the options and their dealer pricing so we knew exactly what we wanted and exactly what we were going to pay and he was happy to accomodate. We had also worked with him for my wifes highlander, my mother in laws highlander, and my wifes grandfather's highlander so being a Toy family he was happy to see us again.

    Alright Jimmy! Another (near) Grand Rapids guy. I like the Spruce Mica color...
    I am getting the itch to get out and do some wheeling too. I really " need" 5100's and Duratracs to feel comfortable off road, but I'll get buy with the General grabber AW's for the time being.

    I did plenty of wheeling with the stock Dunlops...can't be as bad as those tires...I just have to use 4wd less with duratracs. Not horribly impressed with how they ride on the highway and I'm thinking my stock shocks aren't heavy enough to handle the weight. I get some kind of bouncy reaction in some spots at certain speeds.

    I had that problem with BFG AT's on my F150. I ran them about 40 to 45 LBS and that helped out alot. I'm guessing the Dura's are the same way.
