    We use basket racks with pole holders mounted and drive with them from near Charlotte to Fort Fisher every year. Haven't been stopped yet. No proof of legalness though.

    Just puttin' a feeler out there to see if anyone wants some stock Sport 17's with the Dunlop AT20's. Have 9/32 of the original 11/32 tread depth. No uneven wear, holes, punctures, patches etc. If there is any interest, I'll get some pics up at your request. These things are lonely. They need a truck. Someone please help them.

    What are you looking to get for them. I bet that inch adds a little bit $$ to the price of new tires. I have thought about having a little more fill in my wheel wells.

    Don't really know yet, had an offer on them and it fell through. Just picked up another set of FJ TT to run for the winter, and I've got to get rid of some stuff. 17 inch is a little more $ than 16, but not too much.

    It's nice in AZ for a while. 12 years was enough for me for a while, 15 years later I'd like to go back.

    AZ has been fun but I am ready for a change. It was nice to have grass and green trees instead of rock/dirt and cactus. I'm sure after mowing it a couple times I will hate it but I know my Fiance and dog will love it.

    I liked AZ when I went there a few years ago. No humidity (at least where I went) was nice.

    Everything has pros/cons. It is supposed to be 117 this week with zero rain in the near future. That 80+% humidity that was there this weekend felt great! But at th end of the day job opportunity trumps everything for me.

    But I am not looking forawrd to making that drive again, and the next time will be with a uhaul and trailer. Embrace the suck..........
