    Thank you! Second TW in Bishop I know of now. Went out with Matt with the 4runner for a coyote recovery on Saturday and he mentioned you lived in town too.

    Appreciate the kind words. I came here to just screw around for six months waiting for a seasonal job to start, but ended up getting a full time role here instead. Been a very happy accident as I spent most of my weekends off from school in SoCal getting up here to explore. Loved your build thread and seems like you've covered a lot of ground here getting back to some seriously remote & lightly visited places. Hit me up the next time you're around.

    thank you. I grew up in Missouri and then got spoiled with nature in California while going to school so it's been hard to leave. I do miss the paddling and floating in the Midwest though. That was always a favorite way to pass the summers. Hit me up if you ever bank enough vacation for a trip out west and happy to give you some recs. Glacier National Park and Montana is in a straight line from you more or less.

    Welcome! Truck looks great. What size Toyos were on your truck when you first bought it? 255s? looks like you are running duratracs now, what size did you go with.

    Thank you!

    There was actually some Icon AAL on there, but I'm not sure what configuration it was set up as. Regardless, rode a bit rough and swapped on some medium duty Dakars and it's a huge improvement. That was a fricking project this weekend, but I'm new to wrenching and had some new friends come help me out.
