New Tires!
LT 265/70R17 E Toyo R/T as recommended by a friend,




It's been over a month now, and although it isn't getting driven daily because virus, I've gotten a pretty good feel for the new tires.


Love them so far, they are quiet on the road, drive smooth, and feel solid and planted up to 135km/hr. Gravel and mud roads are no sweat - although it's easy to chew tracks and throw mud (left ruts up a friends driveway by accident). I've got them at 38psi right now and they seem pretty great balance between stiff driving and not shaking cavities out.

Acceleration might be a bit slower but not noticeable, certainly no different than the K02 I've had in the past. Braking is fine, no difference.
Over a 400km trip I ended up at 14 L/100km vs 13L/100km for the same trip with P255/70R17 Blizzaks. So added around 1mpg more.

They are harder to clean, but look better dirty - so there is that.

 

Got out for a fish. Nice day, tight lines, even got a bit of trail in for fun.

 

May Long, went to the beach..


This everyday-rain season is killing my urge to detail..

 

Another day, another lake..

 

Camplife, Solar up and coffee poured.

 

Camping to Christmas..
Tree hunt success, hilarious driving home with the tree on the Prinsu.
Blizzaks walked up and through brand new snow with no tracks - no issues and make it look easy.
We went past groups of people sitting with their cuvs as far as they could go, and got to a beauty spot all our own.
Campfire, GT, Hot Chocolate, and Tree.. great weekend.

 

Woohoo! GettaGrip installed; It's taller than I thought, but easier to hang onto.. I'm happy.



Cut down the piece as the install shows, plus the etsy bit;

 

Ordered, excited, waiting, drooling over pics..

 

Alright, alright, alright.. Skidplate arrived in the mail.

First off, lots of decals and instructions! sweet.



Shiny and waiting to get all that stock junk off..


Better.


lol, only detectable by Tacoma nuts..

 

Looks awesome!

 

Out fishing last night, had to head into nowhere to meet up with a friend at a lake.



Drive was great, fishing was great.

 

More Meso goodies..

 

Annual Farm run, may be the last as family is moving closer than the current 1200km trek..
11 hours each way, this trip I tried my best to get decent mileage and ended up with a 12.3L/100km avg (~19.1mpg).
Nice to get out of the smoke show of home - I managed to miss the worst day of fire season and escape to the rainy cool northern weather.

Gotta love those Range Roads though;




Also added a Hondo and 60cs to make the long drive a little more amusing;





Currently hanging wires from the aux outlet but working on a hardwiring solution as I post..

 

I've got some things on the workbench.. running around MIG style for the moment;



Mid way through Men's craft night..

 

And finished for the 2% who will notice..

 

That would look awesome with some of the big Toyota letters. But kudos to you for all the plastic work, looks great!

 

Thanksgiving trip back to my hometown.. Larches just starting to turn.



also picked up our new fishing boat!

 

Father's Day fishing;
Headed out and pierced fome fishlips, dodged some raindrops, bombed around in the boat- it was a great day.

 

Cleaned up with a polish, wax, and sealent;





and then went fishing again;
