Out with the old tread and in with the new! I just swapped out the tires on my 4Runner after getting 78,000 miles on the first set! I used a mobile tire service company, you gotta check these guys out. I'll never go to a tire shop again... <iframe width="853" height="480"...

Reasons to Carry an extra coilover: Exibit #1 I'm just learning about the photobucket issues since it's been a while since i posted. Oh well, I don't feel like signing up with some other site. The coilover bent as you can see in the picture, but the shock shaft also bent a bit near the top...

Maxtrax really are the superior product for one simple reason, the material used to make them, and it makes all the difference. See below. I'll pay the extra $100 for a better material any day. From the interwebs: TRED boards are manufactured from a blend of polyolefin materials and offer...

We actually booked that place several months ago! They have great reviews.

I appreciate all the great advice. We'll be sure to have several trails in mind, as you mentioned, and I think we might try to get into arches the way you mentioned. I have heard that TOTW requires 33s. I've only got 32s, I'm not really worried about it, but should I be?

Thanks for the heads up - much appreciated. I really hope the weather holds up for that trail combination. We'll still have about 2,000 miles of driving after Ouray, so we'll take er easy.

Yeah a few folks have said that - we'll be sure to pack extra water with us. Thanks!

Right on, thank you for the great advice and the detailed response. Quick follow-on question; can I do a quick out and back on White Rim Road? Or is it one-way traffic only? Sounds like I'll have to find some easier backup trails in case the weather is sloppy. We'll make sure to stop at High...

Thanks for the heads up - I'll be sure to check in with them for closures before we go.

THat was the exact original plan (purely by chance as I only researched it a little bit). I think this could be our 3rd day right here. Thanks for the tips
