    Got out on the mountain bike in Nepaug State Forest, with the doggo chasing me the whole way.

    Oil/filter change on the Tacoma. 157,976 miles on the odo, but realistically a bit more than that as the past 30k or so have been on 33’s. Forgot what the odo read when i stepped up, will have to dig up some notes.

    Fairly certain I am due for brakes. At least in the rear. Never been touched. Might bring it in for those to save a headache, along with the fact that May and June will be super busy.

    Beautiful day. Get out and enjoy it before the storms come.

    So I worked out the math with the 33's on mine. You multiple the amount of miles you have driving on 33's by 6.12% then add it to your odometer. So lets say that you went up to 33's at 30k then you have 127,976 X 6.12% = 7832.1. So then take 157,976 + 7832.1 = 165,808.1 miles total.

    Does anyone have one of these JFR Y pipes they would like to part with for a little bit in order to build a jig for mock up?

    I had to dig through some notes but found them. I installed the BP-51s in September 2020, with 120,786 on the odometer. Picked up the 33’s April 18, 2021. I know I got them balanced before I put them on since they were used but cant find my invoice or any notes on the odometer at that time. But- I did find the documentation from when I had the frame inspection done, which was 3/18/2021, and it was sitting at 123,315 at that time. So I was running stock 265/75 up to about 124k. Thats when the 255/85 km3s went on. Had them on until around 130k when I got the 285/75 wildpeaks. So about 33,967 worth of 33s (based on odo #s.)

    Doing your math- 33,967*.0612=2,078.78

    157,976+2,078.78=160,054.78

    Love that you came up with that calculation by the way.

    Good morning CT. Happy Star Wars Day.

    Had a dream that I was getting ready for work and realized that it was my day off. Woke up and it's Sunday. :thumbsup:

    After painting the sliders I removed my ditch lights, brackets and GMRS antenna. I may sell my current ditch light brackets. Looking at the pair from Relentless Fab.

    My next project will be to mount the Auxbeam switch panel to the driver's side A-pillar. Bracket now shows Monday as the delivery date. I have Tuesday off so maybe I can take a ride to work to fab up something if need be.

    No more bouncing from one mod to another. Stuff only get's half done.

    Good evening CT.
    A-pillar mount should be here tomorrow. Made up a template so I can bend the bracket that comes with the Auxbeam switch panel. I'll bend it tomorrow at work.

    I fished the river in Collinsville with a friend at night, We were catching fresh water eels, He used them when he went to the ocean. I went twice, That was enough for me LOL.
