    Are wheel locks worth it?

    I just got some Method 701 wheels for my 3rd gen. Is it worth it to get wheel locking lug nuts? Is anyone dealing with theft of wheels? I feel like there are more expensive and coveted wheels out there that thieves would want over some $240 rims? It’s not like wheel locks stop theft, they are...

    I finished replacing my front rotors, pads, rear drums, shoes and rear cylinders with R1 Concepts brakes. I opted for the slotted and drilled rotors. Everything is good as new.

    Azuza OHV Park

    I took my '98 4Runner out to the Azuza OHV park here in SoCal for the 1st time. Lots of fun and wow - what a great truck. Running all stock wheels, suspension and it did great. Got stuck once in the mud - had my buddy and his Land Cruiser pull me out.
