Colorado B.S. Thread

I would never claim "you can get more exactly control...." because english is my native language.

I do have to wonder though how many people have needed to use their winch to get themselves unstuck and had their day just absolutely ruined by the fact that it took them 2 minutes to spool up the line instead of 1 minute and 10 seconds.

I'm sure that the slower speed (and the 12,000lb rating) are due to gearing. Gearing is a good thing. Aren't you thinking about regearing your diffs?

 

It's just for piece of mind if I'm camping and it snows, or whatever. Maybe pull a downed tree out of the way, unstick a 2nd or 3rd gen if the need arises, etc...

 

Does everyone have to tighten the mounting bolts for the Toyota cargo track thing in the bed?

I thought i heard some rattling noises in the bed and realized it was the track coming loose again. Maybe it's time to loctite all of the bolts.

 

More likely from the 24/7 dirt roads and abuse of said tires.

 

bet they won't come loose if you crossthread those bad boys

 

Natures loc-tite.

At least the tent is off right now since i think the bolt is behind the bed rack bars mounting plate.

 

You have that stuff special ordered from the Midwest?

 

Now to figure out a way to mount 33’s on a stock gx470 and have my parents drive it from Florida like that haha

 

I could also put the money towards a new set of 33s or 35s for my 15s and kick the wheel dilemma down the road lol

 

Put the seats down and stack them in back vertically. They will fit.

 

Remember when you picked that incorrect item and sent it to me instead of an antenna mount. Karma beyotch!

 

Happy Birthday Coop!!!

Excellent Microsoft paint work.

Gx470 needs new tires now. My dad refuses to drive it across the country with the current tires. I am thinking either order a wheel and tire package or get some winter tires for the stock wheels. Wonder if anybody has ever installed winter tires in Florida.

 

I need to figure out what type of bear spray that was. If it can send 24 people to the hospital it must work. Oh that’s right this is America. I got a scratch I need to go to the hospital.

 

Don't overthink it, go with what works on the vehicle you want. The extra 1/2" of sidewall you ride on will make zero differance when aired down. If your grinding your wheels in rocks that much it's time to learn tire placement, or run bigger tires.

 

At my very 1st day of my very 1st unit in Alaska we were doing inventories and someone slammed a box down with bear mace in it that punctured. Smoked out the entire warehouse we were in. I swear it was worse than the gas chamber haha. It was in there for days, walk back in and kick it all up.

 

Yup... That spray sticks around. Just like the first shower after you get sprayed. Lean far forward to avoid a painful reminder.

 

Lol, the tread would all be gone by the GA border.
