So you ran the whole trail? WH1-3? Any issues? No bypasses? I'm most likely going up there end of the month. Never been.

ive ran winch hill 1-2 on a previous trip so this one we ran the squeeze thru winch hill 3,4 and lannas hill. we took the bypass on winch hill 3 and ended the trail in meadow lake.

have you seen winch hill 3? its absolutely insane! only some serious rigs can do that obstacle

the issues i have was blowing my passenger side cv between winch hill 4 and winch hill 3

Were you running your flag just in case there were any dunes.

i should have went 35"s a loooooooong time ago!!!

the acceleration and pick up feels pretty much the same as my 33"s, i cant really turn worth crap right now until i :sawzall: the bodymount (which is happenin tomorrow)

i absolutely love the looks of these tires and i cant wait to get them dirty!!!

i'm a newbie so please forgive me if i ask silly questions
i 'm dying to put 35s on my runner and i noticed you didn't have yours until after your body lift, is that right?

perfectly normal question to ask!

you are correct i did my body lift only so i could clear 35" tires

I noticed you have had both the BFG T/As and Muds.

Are you happy you went to the muds?

Are the T/As much better on the street than the muds?

What is the sound difference?

Thanks. Debating on the two.

dual battery setup

Hey Josh, how did you install the 2nd battery? I'm going to put in a second one to run off-road lights from etc so its not killing my main. Is there a frame that you can buy to mount the battery on?

Yes you did!

 

[4ShoreRunner]

Yes you did!

Really sad that I was sitting there like, "hey I know that 4Runner".

Sometimes I wonder what I could do if my brain power was used for good and not random car/4Runner related things.

Finally got to watch your episode last night after sitting in my DVR all week. Freaking awesome man! My wife is trying to take me in the opposite direction and move us from a 2200 sf house to a 3400 sf house.... Ugh. She's learned nothing from watching THN with me.

I just want a 4000 sq ft garage. The house can be 500 SF for all I care. I just want a heated machine shop / work shop with room to store stuff and work on the cars inside

Better you than me. We're in a battle right now. She want's the 3400 sq footer on a quarter acre and I want the 2800 sq footer on an acre and a half. We'll see where we land.

Sorry for the thread jack Josh.
