    My brother in-laws friend who works as a janitor at a Kia dealership said if I start cutting things off it will depreciate the value of my engine. I'd like to keep things stock while mounting 13 foot ATs. Do think BFG has a buy 4 get one free?

    Potato quality pic but this guy had pods on at 2 in the afternoon and was close enough to sniff me. He claimed they were running lights

    What happened in the last few years that there are so many of these lightbar/pod tools running around... Somebody mentioned it earlier but whenever you're on the freeway at night and you see amber lights, 90% of the time is a Toyota

    I used to take the drive down to HB often when my Father was still alive, the number of clean & shiny pavement-princesses was always stunning as I drove my old Tacoma down PCH

Maybe, we're just trying to be more strategic on when to schedule a wash because we never know when a spontaneous invite to the trails will spring upon us. Nevertheless, I ain't gonna hate on you if you're just a "mall crawler", "trailer queen", or "pavement princess". It's your expenditure. Outfit and ride it how you wanna. Not everyone has to be a "Bro".

    I tried to convince my brother to run amber fogs and ditch lights 24/7 out in Texas but he wouldn’t do it. Said something about how only dumb guys in California need more light when there’s already light :notsure::facepalm::crapstorm::anonymous:
