Hauling The Tractor

Used my T4R to trailer my John Deere tractor back to the house after service at the dealer. The T4R towed fine in town. For larger loads or longer distance, I'd use my GMC with a V-8 Engine. A midsize SUV with a six cylinder engine, makes for a lacking tow truck.

I caught a quick glance of a lifted Black 5th Gen in Victoria last summer. It looked like it had Icon Billet UCA's. It was near the main port when I got off of the Port Angeles ferry.

Got a new Fenix TK-22 flashlight for the camping/emergency roadside kit in my cargo drawer. 650 lumens of gloriousness from one little LED on 2 3V batteries and waterproof to 2 meters. God help me when I actually have the money for light bars..may end up like [MENTION=74569]SOcalTRAIL[/MENTION] lol
 
Care to share? Looking at these no too and am curious about feedback. good investment over a regular tent? Looks plenty roomy and they have a x4 versions that is slightly lifted.

I saw their new rig at the sportsman show in January and they are the tits! (though I can also lift mine if needed i.e. match tyres with my rig or higher clearance. Or change the spindles for different rims too).
I will stick to mine since I am a little on the tall side and cannot stand up in the newer model.
We now take it where ever we go, I've taken it to Arkansas, Minnesota and Montana as well as all over California.
I teach LNT and TREAD lightly, it carries my gear or kayaks, I have it rigged with solar lights, propane, and it is even heated.
I do have the Airlifts in the back, which makes a world of difference, I've busted a rim and tyre, but the quality has been top drawer for us.
I have pics posted here and on their Facebook page, if you want to see.

Thanks, I really appreciate the feed back
 
Installed Baja rack

Installed my new Baja Utility Rack today - actually [MENTION=68685]Ducmonsta[/MENTION] installed and I helped. Had it slightly customized by Baja. Wanted short side rails similar to a contractors rack. Overall sits 74 3/4" at the highest point, is 5" above the roof in the back and 6" above the roof in the front. Thanks Mr. D for making time at your shop :clap2:

Looks great! My Baja Utility Rack came in today and is currently laying on my living room floor. Temps are hovering around -30 Celsius for the next few days so once it warms up I should be able to have some installed pictures as well.

Finally got over there! He mentioned y'all were going to that. I like to the functionality of the side rails but still deciding if I like the look. How much for the extra customization if you don't mine me asking?
 
Installed '14 tail lamps...

So this can be done?! I started research about this a year ago. Was wanting final confirmation from a local DSHIP and they were telling me that the stock computing system would be thrown off. Is there a write-up or is it as simple as plug and play? Also, did you use the '14 SR5 Tail Lights or the Trail Edition?

Here's the link. There are part numbers, etc of what you need towards the latter pages.

Got to ride in [MENTION=95934]Dubiousatbest[/MENTION] Andy's TE up to Mount Snow to get some shredding in. It will soon have a lot of new goodies going on.

Replaced front rotors and brake pads. Centric rotors and EBC green pads. Sprayed all four calipers black too. Also changed the oil.

So what was the extra cost for that add and how long did it take to get? I was looking at that rack as well so i can still fit in the garage. I like that low profile side and it looks like it does not add that much to it.

I upgraded my rotors and pads as well a couple weeks ago. I am also using the Green Stuff pads. What are your thoughts on them so far?
 
Bolts, beer and buds. Just went over some easy maintenance. Gave everything a once over and tightened slider and skid bolts with the help of my friend Jetta.
