Cool writeup. I enjoy old infrastructure like that. We just went to Bodie, Calif not too long ago. Ever been?

Thanks! Yes, I've been to Bodie once, about 16 years ago. One of these days I need to go back. In the meantime I should try to find the pics from my first visit and get them scanned and posted.
 
Went scouting some deer and elk, got a little stuck and broke in the crawl control. Oh, street tires and no lift too. Now the girlfriend knows why we bought the TEP. I should have gotten pictures of those tires!!
 
Got new tires and wheels today. Hope to install this weekend, along with some plasti-dipping.

What size tires did you get the wheels look fantastic!
 
Did a bit of hiking to see the aspens changing colors. The drive included about 15 miles of dirt, so I was able to perform my monthly exercise of off road goodies.

When I bought my T4R I was hoping to use my Craftsman floor jack but the Sears jack did not go high enough to lift the wheel even an 1mm. So I researched a bit and settled on Snap On FJ200 floor jack. It is listed at $555 and a guy in MSP Craigslist was selling a brand new one in the box for $450/OBO. So I offered him $275 and he accepted. For $250-$300 range, Arcan and Hein Werner floor jacks are the best. But for $275, I will take Snap On FJ200.

Installed RCI lower a-arm 3/16" steel skid plates. Very easy install, 25 min. Install involves 3 bolts, 3 lock nuts and washers per side. I primed and painted the plates last week.

Looks like the TRD wheels in 17"? What are the tires?
Yeah Stock TRD wheels. I was torn between this wheel or the Method Mesh. I decided to stay mostly stock since this is my daily driver.

Tires are Nitto Ridge Grapplers 265/70/17 E Rated.
