I just had surgery... I ain't doing shit for a month +. But then I am gonna show her some love.. redo the leather, build the new bed rack (everything is here minus the solar panels), fix the front camera, upgrade all the shit in the bed (battery, solar charge controller, remote setup)... again everything is here. Just need to get to the point I can move about.

Oh and then yes, get it dirty. I also forgot I need to reinstall my driver side RCV axle.

By love you mean get it dirty? Veterans group Operation Yellowbird has a spot open for their Hidden Falls trip the weekend of October 16th.

He needs small steps again. Been a while.

So do I. It's been a year since my last trip.

Get well soon

This is true.. although as I look at the truck these tires are taunting me. LOL

i loved everything about those tires when I ran them except for the weight. Long tread life and M&S rated. When you have to rotate for the first time you might regret getting them

Get healed up and then we will get a bad decisions weekend planned.

I'll take them up to Discount and have a man less than half my age rotate them. LOL

I hear that, the place by me that installed my super swampers does free tire rotations if they initially did the mount and balance. I let those young whipper snappers do the grunt work, I'll sit back and supervise

I've been running KM2's for 11 years.. its weird to see these on it. But I like them. Makes me want to give the truck some love.

You have enough miles on them to do a Long Term Review on TardW!

I will never forget taking off a tire on a special forces rig - it was a low viz truck similar to ours - with non-obvious beadlocks and balls inside to allow them to look like spaghetti strainers and still drive. The old, leverage the tire up with your boots would not work on lifting those tire/wheel combo up on the lugs!

I kinda miss the mileage on tires i used to get when I had the Tacoma. I have about 30K currently and another 10k left on my Toyo Open Country MTs before a new set is needed. 35s are pricey but probably getting 37s this next go round

My buddy with his F350, got 60k out of a set of Hankook A/T's. Only thing he didn't like about em was they held onto small rocks and eject them at high speed which can chip your paint.

Something’s going on.

 

[Silverback]

Need to run the antenna wire into the cab yet. Baby steps.

 

[TacoXpo]

At first I thought it was a weboost. What is it?

I see now. Is that an antenna that came with it? Midland MicroMobile® MXT275

I still need to put my 120 watt Kenwood in my truck. Can I retire?

 

[Silverback]

Yes, it came with the MXT275. It also came with a small (I mean real small) magnetic antenna.
