    Are you running the 700lb springs in the front? What are your hub-to-fender measurements in the front?

    Recent pic that I took on Sunday. Was coming home from Aspen with my wife and decided to go up Halfmoon Creek Trail outside of Leadville. There's an abandoned mill at the end of the trail, but I encountered a locked gate before I got to the end. :(

    The important thing is she got to witness the onboard air in action and she thought that was pretty cool :thumbsup:

    Too many subs on the forum, eh? :D

    Here's the pic of the tire stance you requested:

    And one from a grocery store parking lot in Aspen. This was the only parking spot available and it was a narrow one. Fortunately the retaining wall didn't pose any problem.

    Hah no. My big fingures and mobile touch screen aren't always insync with each other.

    I love the 255 Maxx width. I dont even consider them "skinny", they're perfect.

    Finally got around to installing the Toyota emblem on my Homeroshi grille (Toyota P/N 75311-90K00). Sadly, I've had the emblem since before I got the grille. While the grille was off the truck I painted the side of the radiator black to make it less visible through the grille.

    I also received a 50" radius LED light bar and I've been curious as to how bright it is so I just hooked it up to the battery to check it out.

    [​IMG]

    I ordered the mount for it today, so maybe by the time next spring rolls around it'll be installed. My goal is to get everything on before Moab '15 :eek:

    You guys are coming out next year, right? I've got room for a bunch of otters in the house or in the backyard if they decide to stop by for a night. Only 8 short hours away from Moab, and it's all highway.

    Thanks! I'm definitely glad that I was able to get out and meet some of you crazy guys while in the dirty jerz!

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Over the holidays I got two new-to-me dogs from my sister-in-law. They are a 10-year-old male named Oliver and a 7-year-old female named Cate, and both of them are Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I've lived with them before when my sister-in-law was out of the country for a couple of years, but since she just had her first child she just didn't have the time and energy to devote to them (Oliver has congestive heart failure and is on a lot of medication), and since I work from home it just turned out to be an ideal situation.

    Cate (left) and Oliver (right) doing dog things:

    [​IMG]


    The weather was cold for a few weeks so about all I've done are some interior mods. I did install CBI ditch light brackets and some LED pods (flood pattern) last month though:

    [​IMG]


    I also installed a new shift knob:

    [​IMG]


    No pics of other mods, but I installed a Cobra 75WX-ST CB radio with 3' Firestik - I need to make a custom CB hanger bracket for it, but right now the mic just sits on top of my small cup holder.

    Did the fog light anytime mod (FINALLY!). It makes a huge difference for me when driving at night with my high beams on. The ARB sticks out from the front a little bit, which was causing the high beams to cast a shadow in front of me so having the fog lights on with the high beams corrects that problem.

    Finally, in preparation for the ARB fridge :devil: I installed some 110V outlets in the cab on the back of the center console and did the 400W all-the-time mod.
