Got some frame reinforcement done this weekend. Rear arches, just need to smooth it all out. Got too hot, will get the front arches and the cross member reinforced next. Then prep frame for paint.

I live in the rust belt capital of S/W Ontario.
- liquid calcium & Winter road salt will destroy cheep steelies / from both sides
- all I use is aluminum OEM alloys / never had a problem, as you described

^^ RAV4 Limited rims (2008) in Winter & 17x7.5" Toyota Highlander rims (2013) in Summer.
- remember to clean the insides when rotating tires - rust often starts on the inside-hidden area to

Wife's used '08 RAV4 v6 came with these 17x6.5" steelies, for winter / now heavily rusted & deep flakes, of corrosion - cheaper grade manufacturing steel & poor primer & paint, may be evident here plus a general lack of washing & care. Junk rims where replaced with OEM alloy takeoffs.

- I now have new Firestone Destination Le2's mounted on 2013 Highlander OEM 17" alloy rims
- $380 Cdn = 295 US$ each wheel[/quote]

^^ 2013 Highlander 7-spoke rims (17x7.5" takeoffs), fit perfect:

Loads of mounting clearance & rims adds a measure of newness, to the Gen3 RAV4 look.
- Highlander rims are only half inch wider than original 2008 Limited alloys / not an issue
- Firestone Le2's still tuck inside fender flares, very nicely / for dedicated 3 season use

Cool old Dodge truck. What year is it?

Oh, and what's a sap house??

it's a 1948. i've had it for 10 years, and use it throughout the year.

the sap house (also sugar house) is where maple sap gets boiled down to make maple syrup, in my case using a stainless raised-flue evaporator. i've been a small producer for over 40 years, averaging 15 gallons of syrup during sap season. in the photo that shows the dumped cordwood and the stacked cordwood, the sap house is visible in the background. the steam vents out of the rooftop structure (in front of the masonry chimney).
