    Damn, I had no idea the Jeff Dunham show would be so packed!

    Traffic was backed up a good mile for parking!

    Oh there will be some mods all right
    Fantastic walk in the woods tonight. Lighting was terrible but it made for a fun challenge to still try and get pictures.

    A whole bunch of snow fleas.

    A beautiful spot where I fell in up to my hip.

    Cool shapes made by snow falling off of tree branches

    Terrible picture but a cool experience. I heard him pecking away at a tree and decided to play a call off of YouTube to try and draw him in. It worked. Every time I played it he would move to a different tree, he must have been super confused.

    I like my Trail Limo. I can sleep in the back and stretch out. As for gas mileage, mine drop to 14 hwy/city when we got the winter formula gas. In summer it's 17 ish.
    @Pixeltim has a Trail Limo and he does everything in 2wd.

    I'm not sure how often I find the bump stops, but I seem to find the point where my tires rub my firewall at least a few times every year.:D

    The gas mileage is much better in 2wd.

    oh, and I’m tempted to try camping in the back during times when the conditions don’t require the pleasure palace. Seems convenient!

    True. But, I'm going to find a spot to force you to use 4wd this year my ;)

    It won’t take much right now given the current state of my tires!

    That's what you get for buying Falken. :stirthepot:
    They're great tires, but don't seem to have great treadwear.

    A guy from discount saw me mention that today and contacted me. If they are worn to 3/32th, he said they’d compensate on the price for a new set. Enough compensation to make it worthwhile!

    My Generals seem to be wearing well (hint hint). Have had them a year and probably over 20k miles on them. I think I may get another year out of them. I was happy with the Discount Tire experience. :spending:

    edit: and that's not necessarily bad financial advice!

    You’re in the wrong thread for giving sound financial advice.

    I've got 36k on my Falkens and they seem to be holding up. 5 tire rotation every oil change. This is the first time I've heard tread wear was an issue.
