Was more thinking taking spare out from underneath, add to roof rack, fit a Tundra 36 gal fuel tank where that was and cut out part of the trunk floor to add in 35 or 40 gal water tank with a propane heater. The rooftop tent is a hard shell so strapping the spare to it will be no issue. No...

Finally pulled the trigger on ECGS order for 4.88s this weekend. Now i need to find some more weight to add and bigger tires to start bogging it down again....

Left Maine headed for Moab this morning.

Played in the very little remaining snow on dirt roads for a couple of hours on our way to watch totality. Spectacular day.

Understood. Thank you.

Old post I know but I'm going to be heading in the winch bumper direction soon and found this searching for aluminum bumper threads on here. My biggest issue is Maine winter roads. The salt and brine are hell on everything and had the thought that aluminum might be a good option that won't...
