    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    Yeah, i've been researching fridges for about 3 weeks now haha. Theres a deal thats almost too good to pass up but its going to end up sticking about 9" past counter. It won't stick into any walkway, but I think i'm going to pass on it.

    I actually measured mine this morning. Door edge is 8.25" from the counter. My eyeball measurement apparently wasn't too calibrated last night.

    New tires went on today. Folks down at Southern Off Road / Lovelady Automotive did a good job as usual. 5 tires mounted and balanced, plus a 4 wheel alignment. Drives like a new truck now. E loads are friggin perfect.

    Yeah yeah... taking it slowly on this one. I did the Taco in a hurry and spent too much too fast.

    Hah, yeah, trust me, if the bolt pattern was the same I'da kept my TRD FJ wheels and 285's. I hated to get rid of those wheels, with practically new tires. Favorite OE Toyota rim of all time, bar none. Wasn't the biggest fan of the tires, which is why I went with the Toyos this go round. They're also slightly bigger at 33.6", which is win win. I'da preferred not to have to buy 5 tires in an 18" E load though right away. TRUST me. Things being as they were though, it made sense to just go ahead and get some MT's that I'd stick with for a while. The tires that were on it were about shot, and I knew that when I bought it, so at least it wasn't a surprise.

    Great looking 4R. I really dig the 4th gen V8's. Good to see you around.

    lol... yeah... no...

    Additionally the 33's are perfect with the stock gearing. Most folks say you can do 35's with stock gearing, but I like the way it is on 33's. It still feels peppy.

    Thanks. I live right off Valleydale Road, between Hwy 280 and I-65. Pretty close to Spain Park High School.

    Thanks!

    Thanks. It is a work in progress. I had a Daystar spacer lift on it, and got those tires for it. I just switched out the suspension last week and want new tires now. The bad thing is that these tires are about a year old, so new tires will have to wait.

    You can flip tires around here in a heartbeat. Talk to Matt and some of the other guys, and keep an eye on Craigslist. It's doable for not a lot out of pocket if you can find a good deal.

    What'd you go with after the daystars? Looks good at that height.
