    I also had to ream out one of the local toyota dealerships, because they botched the repair on one of her tires so badly I'm not even sure how something so unsafe left their shop. Needless to say I'll be sending her car to the dealership I bought my truck from in the future for any warranty work... it's been one of those weeks

    They're awesome. The tire size has not bearing when it comes to on road performance it's the tread pattern that matters in the winter

    Also my springs finally arrived and they have been living on my living room floor. I'm hoping to get some garage time this weekend and get started on the winch and spring install might as well throw my lca Skids on too while I'm at it...

    Trip update, the baja group has grown to 3 trucks. I wanna keep the group small and limited to experienced guys so I'm glad the guys I've invited and super on board... also I'm probably gonna order a prinsu rack in the next month

    @TYetti awesome! Was just wondering since our trucks are so light. Yours is much heavier than mine though.

    Being a little heavier actually helps with the snow and ice traction but mostly it's experience and having good tires
