    haha true true. Would be nice to get 2-3 winters out of them though. But I also drive a lot. 250miles a week.

    These sorry ass tires, I really don't like dense ATs.

    Also caught a speedway blue second gen flexing out and taking pics for the gram, at least I think he was. Don't recognize him from here

    I like those tires in general. What I have on the single cab. My dad has them on the FRV and he took it too Goose this year haha

    And maybe he was taking pics just like you where :luvya:


    Truck is clean man. I feel a little bad for it that you're gonna cut it up :laugh:

    They're not the worst tires I've ever had. I don't like them and would never choose them, but I'm sure they're right for somebody.

    This truck is admittedly very clean, so much so that you could eat out of the engine bay. But that's something important that the grey truck was missing. I find it hard to put the energy into improvement when the truck looks like ass. And while the grey truck was cool, it wasn't clean and I got to a point where I just didn't care with it. I felt like it wasn't worth putting money into so I basically wheeled it as is and never improved anything. This one will motivate me to do better. I'm not going to hack and chop it up Willy nilly like the grey truck. Right now I'm working on how I'll make the rear wheel arch cutouts look good after I open them up for big tars.

    I’d use the 99 as a plate form to build it, and then just throw it on the 02 when it comes times.

    I wanna box the frame and put the receiver between the rails, keep the back super high.Then I’d have to relocate my shocks and stuff, work I don’t know how to dO and money I don’t have.

    Just wanted to check in again and just say that I'm loving Wyoming so far! I have been outside somewhere every weekend for the last two months, mostly fly fishing or going exploring new trails and roads. But it's amazing so far, also really good for photography! Sorry about the BMW but I Just thought the older weathered building in the back is just so cool.

    I did. Didn't have a lot of luck though. But I found a guy on a 4runner forum with a knob and a whole actuator(hopefully a pigtail for wires too) and looks like I'll be about $200 out the door. So not bad.

    I looked up some parts on there and the LBJs where out of stock which I was hoping to get 4 of those.
