40's are the best choice for your rig in my opinion.
Get it Kowpoke. This is a killer truck.

Very similar truck indeed ... I talked to them quite a bit 'fore I bought Brutus.
They want a lot of money for it and she's been wheeled hard ... and even rolled once.
I got a much better deal in my opinion.

I know each year they send (or used to before they got chryslerr rights taken away cause they didnt sell dodge and only sold chrysler and jeep.) a couple of employee's over to MOAB for the Jeep Jamboree and let em wheel. im pretty sure it was them anyway...
but i never knew what they took.

Where in MI? You might need to go past here on your way to TX. If you're in the area- I'll buy you lunch. I'm in Elkhart, IN, right off 80/90. PM me if you want.

Before I was laid off I use to visit Elkhart a lot. Over the last 5 years I spent a total of 5 or 6 months there. But they shutdown one of the plants I supported there and dramatically reduce personnel at the other site I supported there, as well as other sites in other states.
You need to take him to Heinnies or the Chubby Trout. Those are the only places I remember cept national chain spots. Oh ya, and that Irish sports bar... And I just remembered another place, but forgot its name. Its on the lake right across the MI border.
Being from Texas I was always shocked by all the lake affect snow ya'll get there... Stay warm this winter!

Heinnies is a good place for steak. Chubby Trout has been too greasy for my taste the times I've been there. We have a new brew-pub in town that is pretty decent. If Kowboy wants to come this way- I'll let him pick what he's hungry for.
Who did you used to support here in town? Oh, and thanks for looking me up when you were in town.

Ya, the trouts are a bit too chubby for my tastes too but I always loved the name. Same guy that owns Lunkers I believe.
The parent company is called Woodgrain Millwork. They had a dist site and a mfg plant under a 100 names on Hively which is closed down completely now. The site still open was called Doors Plus on Industrial Parkway before becoming a Woodgrain company. Is that Gurly Leep dealership still open? I always called it Girly Jeep.
I've only known these Toy folks a short time cuz (former and still current Jeeper..but owned Toys too) trust me I would have loved to hang out with a wheeler while I was there. It was mostly work, beer store (had frequent flyer miles at the liquor store on Cassopolis) and hotel for me when I went. I regret not visiting that museum with the trains when I was there. You been? I got some good photos of the firefighter monument downtown covered in snow.

Not much for updates outta The Great White North yet ... but the owner gets back from SEMA today so hopefully get some tomorrow.
On another front though ... actu'ly the back I reckon ... got some gear lined up for the bed.
The fine , FINE folks at trdparts4u.com done gave me a screamin' deal on the ARB stuff!! 
The tent with changin' room:
Rooftop Tents
The 4' awnin' to go off the rear of the cage in the bed:
Awnings
The fridge with insulated cover:
Fridges
I just gotta ease on down to Toyota of Dallas to pick it all up.
Ever'body knows 'bout the great service department and parts department at Toyota of Dallas but make sure y'all check out their incredible line of off-road accessories as well. Give 'em a chance to quote you a price next time ya need somethin'. You won't be disappointed. We need to support those that support us.
