You could air down and just leave it that way until it clears up, might help a bit :shrug: I went wheeling this weekend and aired down to 15psi and keep forgetting to air up, I keep surprising myself with how much traction I have (though granted I have AWD). Just go slow and predict how much you'll slide.

Oh I mean, it's stayed pretty much parked, as I said I haven't "properly" jimmy rigged it just cause it's been so cold, it was hard enough to tie a zip tie. I only went down to 20 the first day but that only helps so much when you have MAYBE another 4k on the tires. I didn't know the roads were going to get so bad, when it snows in dallas the roads are always fine cause theres 95136457234587529 cars. by far the worst weather in my 3 years here

Noice!
Big thanks on your wheel painting writeup:hungry:, I have a set of 01, 02 flowers also that I recently acquired and was looking to get painted or powdercoated. In the past I was on the fence between the flowers (to paint) and a new set of bronze wheels but found a guy locally who sold me his after putting some AR wheels on his truck. Your finish is the exact tone I'm going for as I try to match my SURF stickers. Well done on the blue accents also; got the lugs and locks from the previous owner and looking to do red but likely just go aftermarket. All laid out in the garage and wiped down so hopefully tackling this this Friday. Good job on the truck too, looking forward to more mods! Cheers!

Just a few updates..
Front end torn apart
Addicted crossmember on & frame holes drilled
Hood and front fenders primed I decided to only paint the front end, A pillars and front doors since that's where all of the paint damage was (mainly clear coat) not to mention it seemed pretty counter intuitive to paint the whole truck when half of it is going to get bedlined here shortly anyway.
Satoshi is also in the works, no pics yet, I just got the grille itself in, front emblem from toyota is on order and I still need to pick what kind of mesh I want to use, it's coming together but man it seems slow

[MENTION=88391]NateMob[/MENTION] When tyler sent me the picture I was like wait...why's it painted? and apparently the guys at addicted thought I paid for it to be painted but I didn't so it was a nice surprise. I'm sure you'll have yours soon, I'm sure the only reason I got mine so soon was because tyler was picking it up in colorado. Last I heard from scotty they started making them last week...
and why did you snag one I thought you had a cbi hybrid?
and by the way I'm very pleased with the bumper, while it's not on the truck yet, it is very well made I was pleasantly surprised and if I ever have to buy another bumper I know damn well it'll be an addicted bumper.

Got the truck back from paint today! The guy I had paint it painted my satoshi for free so that was pretty cool, no pics of the satoshi in the works but it was easier than expected. bed liner comes this week and then I will officially be broke. I'm so pleased with how the truck looks it's amazing.
The new addicted bumper is great too, so much more than I could ask for, it bolted right up and fits amazingly

It'll be the next of two I see in my reasonable future. Honestly, I was planning on and looking for a locker and a winch before tyler told me he was going to end up driving home from foco for the break. But saving on the shipping and the $50 off pre order, I had to save my self the money. My old bumper obviously wasn't the greatest. So yeah, locker and winch next, whichever opportunity comes first will determine the order of events haha
Oh yeah did I mention bedliner this week?! :guitar3:
...I hope I can pay rent hahahaha
