    Got it, thanks! Mine are a normal 8 or 8.5" wheel so nothing crazy. Thanks for the feedback.

    **cough** Big O will do it **cough**

    I have run three sets of BFG AT KOs that are only spec'd for a 8" wide rim and they have installed them on my 17x9 Moto Metals without batting an eye, even after I asked specifically about it. They acted like it was no big deal and said it would just ""stretch the sidewall a little".

    Nearest Big O from me is almost half an hour now. Discount Tire is just up the street. I do miss Corey and his crew being super flexible at the Big O in Sandy before they all went their own ways.

    Took a recipe idea from my Uncle and used a flaked piece of smoked steelhead for a carbonara dish. It was so good! Figured I'd share this great idea.

    My ride for the week. On the 2 hour drive from DTW to upstate Michigan, I now understand why everone complains about the transmission hunting and power delivery being way different from the 2nd gens.

    Also had to flex the Toyota brand while deep in Big 3 domestic territory.

    Funny, because right before I took this job and moved to WA, I was about to buy my coworker's 3rd gen (this exact config) as he upgraded to a new tundra.

    Considering a 3rd gen is on my short list for a new vehicle, I'm considering this a nice little test drive. So far, the thing I miss most is my King shocks on these bumpy ass roads.

    yeah, gotta tune it. and then learn to use the gear shifter for the uphills. 3rd and 4th gear are your friends. lolol. ECT as well if it's a non-tuned tacoma. :/ I'm very interested to see how the 4th gens drive.

    If it looks anything like this color on the new year, I might be bumping the 4runner to the top of my list (it was already top 3). The VT grad in me is pleased.

    Found the newest Overland AF accessory. Wind turbine! Move over solar bros, there's a new BAMF in town now :rofl:

    Considering these have been on sailboats and stuff for a while now, it could actually be a pretty viable solution if you live somewhere with a breeze.
