awesome sauce. One of the folks I've wheeled with up here was just down in ABQ. She hit up Cedro and was looking for other frivolity. I let her know of the fun that is Mt. Taylor since she was heading out of town that way. Mt. Taylor is good stuff. Last time I wheeled it was with Nick doing...

I forgot to take pictures but got some pewigs from tirechain.com: https://tirechain.com/made-in-usa-load-range-e-mud-and-k21295-70-17-pewag-square-7mm-snow-tire-chains-w-cams-priced-per-pair/?fbclid=IwAR2lx5O8EgFAhYdD1guV939xy1OHBB_ZtjBsP_zuRxAr-lBCnrrY08vXpcU test fit them and tighten up good...

I'm in Denver these days. I was recommended a shop east of C. Springs that can do them same day if all parts are in house. I just need to call ahead and then get the FJ up on jackstands and pull them. Have I mentioned I really don't enjoy working on vehicles like I used to...

yes, it was! I forget sometimes that this is all discrete replies in time. I'm using your reporting as fodder to finally convince myself to get my 6 year old Kings rebuilt or replaced. As I get older, I loathe spending time under vehicles.

Riding better? Less clunkier?

A little humidity goes a long way. Thanks for sharing, Pappy. Beautiful country. Reminds me to go see it before I can't.

Some guy named "Lurch" 'round the parts made me a kick-ass wind fairing. Cut down the whistling noise from the roof rack and all its accoutrements.

If it is the same guy, BamaToy was part of his handle. I thought he was buying TGPs and offering them as a full assembly.

Steve (Lurch) would be the best bet. I need to pick up a fairing from him and possibly get a mtb ride in next time I'm down that way.

ya, sure. Looking like I'll be down ABQ-way around Labour Day week. If'n you'll be around, I can pick it up then.

thanks for the tips, everyone. I'm attempting to get thru my latest home stereo project then will be shifting gears. (Ha!) Hopefully get something installed soon.

I was texting with Steve last night and started thinking about the rabbit hole. Maybe a more stationary solution is needed since I have a blank canvas to start with.

and do you have a recommendation. (I have no clue where the local ham-hut is or if it even exists.)

Are they gentle on the paint?

Are SW antenna mounts pretty universal? Looking to put an antenna external to the FJ for the little baofeng radios. Looking at a CB antenna mount and wondering if it is the same hole pattern: 2007-2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Bandi CB Antenna Mount -...
