What did you do to/in your 5th Gen today?!

Sunset on San Joaquin Ridge Road Above Mammoth Lakes

Evening run during recent fires, smoke settling in the valleys.

I have had these tires for 7 months and put about 8,000 miles on them. You should be very happy with them. I just did my first OL trip on them last week and they did fantastic in some pretty sloppy conditions.

Good to know! I've only read good review about these tires and I'm happy I made the decision. I read somewhere that they were going to come out with a 275 later this year, but I couldn't wait. I also though I wouldnt run into rubbing issues with stock size, but the SCS offset changes that. I'm not complaining, I love how they look. So far they are perfect.

Just ordered some Ray 10's last night! How long did it take for you to receive them? I'm not that impatient. Just curious.

Still trying to decide what tires I'm going to wrap them in.

You ordered them from SCS? It was my understanding that they were out of stock since the last shipment. I didn't know they re-upped. I ordered them when they went on sale, then probably a week later they were at my door.

Yes, they restocked last night briefly. I thought that the Ray10 offset was similar enough to stock that there wouldn't be any rubbing. Where does it rub? I'm not planning on a lift, and I was hoping to get away with no trimming, etc., but I'm not opposed to doing it.

I took off my front mud flaps because most of the rubbing was there, then I noticed I still rub at full lock in reverse on graded surfaces.
 
That's a sick photo.. exact location?
You can find San Joaquin Ridge Road on maps, it is at Minaret Summit past Mammoth Mountain Main Lodge. You can drive up a few miles, mild off-roading that a stock T4R could handle. You end up at a dead end, where I took the picture, at about 10,000 feet. Great view back to Mammoth Mountain and across to the Minarets.

I think this is what I've always called Dead Man's Pass?

What Im trying to do today

My hitch has become a tad rusty on my 2013 runner.

I removed the 4 bolts holding it on without taking off the trim cover b/c when I initially tired, i broke one of the clips and it seemed like i would have to replace the dam thing if i tore it off.

Anyways, with the 4 bolts removed the hitch wont budge. I am assuming there are more bolts hidden by the trim.

Do you gentlemen have any tips to get the trim off w/o wrecking it. or am i better off taping the hitch and repainting it where it sits?

I'm in the same boat. I did the Level 8 MK6 in 0 offset. Mine rub the fender well due to the tire being more "square" on the sidewall. I also had to remove the front mudflap (2013 SR5).

I'm anxious to see how they look with my Toytec 3" lift that's on the way

I put some 33" Falken Wildepeaks on today. They balanced out nicely, are quiet, and drive well at 80MPH on the freeway. I'm leaving for the deserts of Baja in 2 days and these tires should do well!

Ran Wheeler Lake Trail on Sunday with a couple Jeep guys. Popped a bead and had to reset it on the trail. I've seen it done on TV and it is pretty much as easy as it looks. Set the bead, aired up a bit and finished the trail. Great trail, but not for the faint of heart and those of us with < 35s.

Nice alpine lakes at the end.

Attempted the [MENTION=15690]jerad[/MENTION] dog platform. Twice. Second attempt fits like a glove. Thanks again for sending over the photos.
