    Are you talking about the crossmember the skid plate mounts to? If so, you can drill through that pretty easily. Thats where my hid ballasts for my lightforces areu mounted.

    kodiak wat wat!!!!

    I'm at airsta kodiak

    def a beautiful place to live but it does get annoying at times. Some of the locals piss me off at times.

    It's a gorgeous place to live tho def the most beautiful place I have ever lived it. Hunting and fishing are awesome. The cost of living is high tho. I live on base now but I did live on the economy for a while and let me tell you there aren't every many places open. You have to remember that this is one of the largest coast guard bases in the world and not everyone lives in housing on base. So you are competing with locals and chastise for housing.

    I had to do that last night just to get to the hangar. I had to put it into 4wd and plow through 2 foot snow drifts. Good thing we didn't have a SAR case last night we would have had to wait for facility guys to plow the Tarmac. The plows did stop going from 11pm to 7am

    It's the trd sport so I'd prolly call them street tires. Dunlops ATRs. Cheapest tire Toyota could put on, and they've some great through 3 winters so far. Lol, I'm getting my money's worth.

    speaking of snow wheeling, how much snow you think were going to have by the 19th? Sutton might be a bit rough to navigate through with a stock truck you think?

    Probably, but that's half the fun. With enough speed I can make it through anything :)

    The place I went was kinda behind custom truck off old Seward. Short lil trail, but fun.

    I would imagine Sutton isn't too full of snow right now. By the 19th it probably will be though. I haven't really attempted much snow wheeling in my truck but Ben is right, with enough speed my truck does go places haha. I need to get some recovery gear...

    I agree lol. As long as its not packed to hard I can go through most anything in 2wd with the blizzaks I have on it. I guess as long a we have some ropes and maybe some chain we could have ourselves a jolly good time haha. Just making sure we plan accordingly cuz Im pretty sure nicks the only one set up with a winch lol.
