    Spent some time in the White mountains and got a few runs in for the season.

    How did those R/T’s handle the snow and ice? I’m Canadian, so that is definitely a factor haha. I’ve been looking at them for a while, but can’t find anyone outside of the desert that seems to run them.

    They seem to do fine in the snow, not the best for the ice though. My AT2's seemed to do much better in the ice.

    Thanks for the feedback. I love the build up - definitely stealing some of your ideas when the time comes, so thank you for that!

    Awesome. U got any pics from the straight on angle to show the poke out from the fender flares? Looks like it sits pretty flush if not just a tad poke. That’s what I’m after. How hard was it fitting those beasty tires? Aggressive cmc. Big hammer and spc uppers I’m thinking would do the trick.

    edit* I noticed also in your info that you have .75 bora spacers on the front only. are a lot of these pics in this thread with those installed or no?

    Been awhile since I've updated this. There's been a few new mods here and there but mainly just keeping up on maintenance and trying to get out and explore.

    70k mile update. Replaced the Total Chaos uppers with Icon. Aligned a bit easier and the added caster helped with clearance. Also upgraded the front brakes with EBC Stage 5 and flushed the sytem, huge improvement over the tired OEM brakes.20230518_135228.jpg
