I do the same

 

Can't go wrong with duratracs

 

Having kids throws things off a bit huh? Little life changers.

 

Sure does. Did a pretty intense backpacking trip up in my this winter. It kicked my bass for sure. Did a few 4000 footers wearing snowshoes and microspikes with a pack on. First peak I got super dizzy and had to stop for a good while just to acclimate. Not having worked out really for almost a year really was a kick in the balls

 

The part where Anne Hathaway is on the wrecking ball and giving her the bird is awesome. The episode with Jimmy Fallon and the Rock was funny too.

 

Happy Saturday, faces!
Looks like Maple season's about done; it's supposed to be in the 50's today and the trees ain't doing much. Plus the sap is starting to get a little yellow, which means it won't make great syrup (tastes bud-y)

I managed about 3 pints this year, which isn't bad for just three taps and boiling in a pot on the woodstove, haha!

 

Finally installed rear lift bout a week and a half ago.
Superflex coils and Boss shocks. I installed boss coilovers last Fall. So far, I like. Rides and handles well. Very slight rake,which is OK with me.
Hopefully I'll put new shoes on her later this Spring. Thinking bout KO2's in 275/70/17. I didn't do a BMC, so i think the 275's should fit well.

Proper stance now...

 

Looking good

 

Looks good.
I had one just like it when I was a kid, except mine was yellow.

 

With how big the wheel well, you shouldn't have an issue with a 275 whatsoever, and running a 315 works for some people. Just have to align it right.

FJ looks good! Throw some armor on it and come out with us.

 

No new ST Maxx? They make the AT3 in a 275/70, great size and middle ground from yours now. Why the smaller size now? The AT3's seem like a great tire.
Heard a lot of bad about the duratracs becoming loud and shitty in the rain after wear. They are a fantastic tire new but quickly fail (from what I've read)
Have no knowledge of the M S/2

 

Yea, gotta get my azz up there. Got a friend up in Haverhill I fish with. Did the bass run in the 'mack last June.
Ain't gonna make it this Spring. Got my arm cut open yesterday. Tendon holding my bicep to my forearm was 80% shredded.
Nerve block wearing off as I type. Yee Haaa!

Funny thing is, got the FJ a year ago next week and she just turned 6k.
I wussed out and didn't drive it all Winter. Drove the Taco And got that snotted up rather than the FJ,lol.

 

Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth, I had the AT3 in that size and was not impressed. They were loud for an A/T tire and did not wear evenly (even with proper tire rotation). My dad had the same experience with those tires as well as other Cooper tires lately. Right now, on the Ford, I have Michelin AT2 in 265/70R17 and love them although, if you read back a page, I seem to be in the minority there.

 

Thanks! I was looking at the A/T from Michelin as well cuz I found them installed for 840... The ST MAXX have been good to me. mine are worn but are still stiff on my back ...an e rated tire and my current setup. The rear is fine as I had to adjust my AAL setup now have it so smooth with the Kings but I can feel the dif between them and the icons up front. My dash is rattling...... The main reason is I am rubbing the uca on the pass side pretty good. Imagine your UCA as silver... I know I know alignment... Almost never on the driver side. I dunno. New Light Racing UCA are not out of the discussion either.

The fiancé just doesn't like getting in the truck being lifted as much as it is...it doesn't help her dad has a stock stormtrooper she gets in easily to compare too.

 

I'm digging those wheels. I don't think I've seen them before. Did they come with the truck?

 

Yup.
Came on the '14's

 

Just so you know, it seems the guys a few pages back that hated the Michelin AT2 were running LT rated tires. Mine are P-rated and seem to support anything the Ford is rated to tow and haul.

 

Put a deposit down on a wagon

 

Ooooh, Seth be rollin' in style! Congrats, what color and option package?

 

Haha not sure about style. It's just an 07 T4R sr5 with the V8. Just plain toyota silver like every other toyota on the road. Going to get a small lift and tires just about immediately do it doesn't look like every single other one on the road
