Are yours fogged on the inside? Or just worn out on the surface?

Went to the offroad park today. Even with no traction control this thing was awesome! I drive through everything and only had trouble once when I had a tire hanging in the air. I had several jeep guys come up to ask me about my truck, give me compliments, and find out what it is! Lol She sounds so mean, I turned heads everywhere.
This is awesome! BTW, what's all that white shit? Are y'all at the beach or something? :dancin:

The white sands of the North are very slippery!
Lmfao! Gotta love snow! It was warm and rained yesterday so it was really wet and nasty. Lots of wheel spin, dig down to solid ground, all set!

I have a love hate relationship with mud and snow. Love it when I'm in my 4Runner, hate it when I'm in my big rig. We're starting to melt here up north, and with that comes muddy bush roads. Had to run 2 sets of triple rail tire chains and a steering chain today.
Ugh, Ya that part sucks. I like playing in snow, not so much the cold. Love mud, although it's a pain to wash off. Been melting here for 2 days. Probably won't last. Lol I'm sure we have one more snowstorm at a minimum.

My lights looked like yours there, couldn't tell if the light where on. Was able to clean/polish them back enough see where I'm going again. Lot's of times, there just the outside messed up.
@dykleb You drivers up north, it gets bad enough you have to chain up a steer?
I've gone cross country before and use 3 railers (drives)with spikes, but never steers.
You guy must be some bad mamie jammies up there.

I've never ran a steer chain on the highway. In fact, I've never ran more than one set of triples on the highway, and I run Canadian weights (139,000lb gvw).
I was talking about in the bush, off highway. I move oilfield equipment, so chaining up is pretty much part of my every day.

Makes more sense. More of non traveled roads, make your own.

LOL. That's just crazy there, but, do what you have to do as they say.
They had me on a job site relocating dirt from one area to another, so they where over loading us. I took off and buried/sank 5 axle deep plus. hooked a D9 cat up front and a excavator pushing from the back to get me out.
I'm done, your not breaking my truck.

Did a little testing tonight because I can definitely feel a power gain. So, bone stock my truck did 0-60 in 7 flat, consistently. After my 35" tires with stock gears I was at 9.3 - 9.5 seconds. So tonight I tried one with the new exhaust. I got 7.3-7.5 seconds! It chirps those big ass tires and one of the times I tried the asphalt was a little wet and I spun the tires badly. (no traction control right now) pretty damn impressed!

Dude, 2 seconds off your 0-60 and untuned....:rockon::guitar3:
Do you have an before and after 1/4 mile time?
I didn't do a 1/4 mile today as I didn't have enough road. I need to find a straight backroad to play on. Lol.
Only problem is I don't remember my before 1/4 mile times...
I still can't believe the power. I mean my tires are heavy and grip like mad and it spun them! I couldn't do that stock.

Pic reminds me of when my Dad was building our house and this Big Arse Rig came to drill our Well. Both rear Axels were Buried in Mud and when he tried to leave and Hit it He Snapped the Drive Shaft. I couldn't Stop Laughing. I knew he wasn't getting out. If I wasn't 6 years old he would have Kicked my Arse. He was So Pissed. Boss gave him an Ear Full. Good thing I was only 6...I don't think he appreciated the "You Big Dummy" Fred Sanford line from a Kid...:becky:
Lol, I was a smart ass kid! I would've been all over it too!
