Snow in Maine, 2000 4runner limited

What is your honest opinion of them? I have been debating on the same size and brand of tire.

So far, pavement wear has been minimal, I haven't been stuck with them but I don't go looking mud holes. They balloon nicely when aired down. I believe the bfg km2 tires were better crawling on rocks. Fierce tires seem to have a harder compound. Overall for my use, I don't think I'm going to buy another set. I plan on getting an aggressive all terrain. But if I had to go mud terrain again I'd like to try cooper tire. They seem to have great reviews.
 
So with winter around the corner and the days becoming shorter I've been missing the 20" LED light bar behind the grill. I wanted to do something a little different and more functional in snowy conditions. I purchased a 22" single row led light bar with 10w Cree LEDs. But that wasn't good enough. White light is highly reflective in fog or snow so I added a coating of laminex Orange. The final product, pretty awesome. I still have to mount it which should be fun.



 
Where did you get that light bar? I kinda like that style, it's different than the usual ones everyone has now... The Lamin-X came out great too.
 
Yes the lamin-x is a vinyl. It is much thicker than other brands. It does cost more, however it not only tints the light it also protects against rock impacts. I used it on my subaru headlights. It took some serious abuse and I just peeled it off after 3 years to reveal like new lenses. If I ever get around to doing the retrofit I will use a clear lamin-x on the them too. The kit also comes with everything needed for a professional install.
 
Here, have some crappy pictures. Installed the light bar today, it fits tight!







And I bought 2 more to make a roof light bar.

New brakes are on! Can't wait to have no shimmy when stopping. Also relocated my cb antenna. I'm thinking this will give me more range. Had to build a bracket for the antenna, I don't think it looks too bad.



 
I apologize [MENTION=67615]Dirtco[/MENTION], I didn't get the notification you replied to my build thread. I do not have a light output with film picture. It's very bright, although light is wrapped Orange the output is Amber. I ordered some 7" white ones that should be here soon. Then I'll take some pictures.


It was a beautiful day in maine! Took the puppy for a hike and did some exploring.







I've been exploring with only a collapsable saw and figured it was time to invest in something old and reliable an axe. I didn't want to buy some new piece of crap so I did some searching. I found a vintage Collins true tempered axe head and it didn't look to be in too rough of shape. Purchased and shipped for 30 bucks. All I needed was an axe handle, found one at Home Depot for $13. It has a cheap finish so I'll refinish it.

With a little elbow grease the axe head looks beautiful again. I wanted to leave some pitting, I think it adds to its character.


 
Refinished the axe handle and found out the axe head was made in the neighboring town that I grew up in. Small world.



 
Little update, miss the 4Runner a lot. But I'm still in a yota, 05 tundra doublecab. Just finished the lift icon front and rear. Also added 35" tires on scs wheels.





Just a little bit of work to get them to fit.



And the build is on...
 
Sweet Tundra. Is there a link to a build thread for it?

This style Tundra has grown on me. The 4runner was awesome. Looking forward to see where you will take this one.
