Nothing goes together like a "PBR" in the morning and a chainsaw....

That's how we roll out here. PBR for breakfast, real beer for brunch.

@ZooTownCruiser

Humble apologies for the semi-highjack... @rkymtnflyfisher and I share a common ancestor somewhere in the past. We need a "Made in FT Benning" sticker I think...

OK, OK I promise I'll move this to Chit-Chat..

Ask him how is chain saw looks now? Says a limb hit it. Probably more like he dropped it.

Hold on partner cause here it comes...Posting this question will get more comments, opinions and manifestos than you can imagine...It's like asking "what's is the best color TLC"...


I'll set it up...AT? MT? Hybrid? - Ok fella's, let er' rip.....

Probably an AT but not opposed to a MT

Without a doubt….

I’m looking at another AT for the grocery getter. I need snow/wet weather rated. The ole Tundra doesn’t see very much ”off road”. The Mule sports an AT3 as well. Although some of the new hybrid designs look promising.

MT sucks out here, stick with an AT. Something that is winter rated also.

Maybe one day you can get your 40 up to Lost Trail! M/Ts don't make it a fun drive though!

That’s defiantly “snow rated” country…!!

 

[Chungas Revenge]

I rolled the dice on a set of Falken AT’s for the Tundra and have been pleasantly surprised. Excellent road manners, good even wear, performs great on wet/snow and they didn’t break the bank..

For reference, the tail light iterations. BJT, 25, 40 (not including the different wagon/PU variants)

We stock everything but the top one @ Cruiser Outfitters

Haven't been following along but thought would add a little tech. The FJ25 and first couple of years of the FJ40 used the same.tail lights. Difference is the FJ25 bracket mounted to the tub and FJ40 bracket mounted to the rear frame member like on the FJ40 until 9/73. Some how ended up a member of brackets for the real early FJ40. Spacing to the from is the same as the tail light bracket up the the early 69 when they went to larger tail lights. Later bracket bolts are offset.

Yeah yeah! Tough to work on the 40 from Iraq dog. No need to worry though, I have a mountain of parts waiting for us when I return. better set aside a week of that 4 months a year vacation you get from the government teat.
