    Not to mention the JL audio system quoted at 10k! Haha I feel like I stole it.
    It's a marginal difference. I think you'd be fine with beadlocks. Just take them to a place that specializes in off-road rigs and they can balance them pretty well.

    I'm swapping out the 34" MTs for 33" AT IIs again. I love that tire. Gonna put some SCS Matte Dark Bronze Wheels on too. Gonna look sweet.

    Haha thanks! That's not mine! Just the wheels I want. Can't wait. I'll post pics of mine in the morning when it's light.

    Now I look like an idiot lol...but welcome anyway! From what I have seen it looks pretty sweet. I used to be a hardcore M/T guy, but where I live A/T's make much more sense. I am not too thrilled about running Load Range E tires on the 4runner though.

    Yeah. I'll be working in Los Angeles so MTs don't make sense for me. Man they look so sick though.

    I am so glad I don't have to drive that LA traffic anymore. Would take 45 minutes to drive 25 miles home. Do not miss that lol

    I hate it. Looking at moving near Denver if my girlfriend gets into PA school there.

    Honestly Denver isn't much better. It is like mini-LA on the freeways out there and then add snow lol. I have to go up to Denver on Tuesday to get my sliders measured out, at least 90% of my drive is in the mountains.

    But I like the area of Denver better. So much to do.

    The city itself is really nice. Their freeway system hasn't caught up yet to the influx of people. I am usually up there once a month, since my 2 really good friends live in Golden. Denver is also only like an hour from Fort Collins and all the craft beer up there. You are also close to a lot of the trails.

    I love the Colorado, Utah, and Arizona desert. I just happen to love CO the most out of the three. Hope to explore a lot more of it in my life. Hopefully the new rig helps.

    I lived in AZ for 6 years and there are so many good trails out there. I stalk the AZ offroad picture thread and I makes me miss AZ a lot. Colorado is a ton of fun, Denver you can more of winter life. Where I am at you have to really like winter sports to not go crazy. Denver doesn't quiet get the extreme weather that we get where I am at.

    Snowboarding is my second largest hobby behind whatever vehicle I'm building at the time!

    You people and all your needs. I've never had an issue with the flex on mine. I've climbed over plenty of things i didn't think i could.
    You wanna do mine? Haha

    Perfect for CO. You would have a ton of ski area's right off the 70 coming out of Denver to go to. I was boarding almost every week, but January was a little crazy and I didn't get out much. Going tomorrow before work.

    Matt those wheel look sweet!! Hopefully you won't have to wait too long before you're able to get them...great color combo!
    Vince if you're looking for a set of great AT tires...Toyo's ATII are the best I've ever run!! Absolutely love them!

    Lol I never really had an issue with my 1st Gen, I just really don't like drop-bracket lifts and that was pretty much the only way to go besides L/T. There was a guy that was destroying SAS rigs, all he had a 2nd Gen no lift 33" cookie cutter tires, armor and lockers.

    I have heard the ATIII's are great as well. Honestly really looking at the Duratracs and K02's because of their snow/ice rating. It is probably going to come down to whatever is cheapest whenever I get the money for them and get my lift on.

    This is great about Colorado...very easy to live with-in an hour or so from a ski lodge...really doesn't matter which one...all of them have great skiing!! Get a all year lift pass...be up ski at least once if not twice a week. What I really miss...was going night skiing. I don't know what it was about it...kind of spooky up on the mountain at night...but kind of surreal at the same time looking at all the stars and then how quite it could be. I miss it so.
