It was a little chilly but I was very pleased that the Vintage Air/Heat worked perfectly.

The pictures of your red truck in the snow, screams Christmas card material. Beautiful rig sir!

Finally got my new Alcan springs installed. Really liking the stance and the ride. Beefed up the front in anticipation of my new refurbished Warn 8274 and OPmachine front bumper.

Mark are you still loving the 4BT?!?!?

Absolutely, just checked the decibel readings on my all stock 66 FJ45 at 55MPH on the highway and it checked in at 84 decibel with the Mobile app. The 66 with the 4BT was at 81 decibels. I’ve done a fair amount of sound deadening.

I like the black wheels, nice upgrade! Are those 15" or 16"?

Thanks Antony, they are the 16x6 FJCompany aluminum wheels I bought from a mud member who went a different direction. The tires are my go to size 255/85/16 on the 45’s. I was happy to get them in black. I think you can only order grey now. I ordered some hubcap clips that are on the way so I can run my acorns

Still not sure if I like the black though, I may put the 16” Toyota splits back on. I do have the spare as well but haven’t put it on during my trial period. I may put them on my new project
