What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (72 Viewers)

I agree, but no MT is a good ice tire. My Yokos are in storage until spring. I run a set of 35’s with studs for the winter. Currently disappointed in the Cooper Maxx ST’s over the Duratrac’s they replaced. Wish I would have gone Grabber ATX with studs. Thinking I might buy a tire groover and start cutting. But they are still way better than the Yokos on snow/ice.

Can’t beat studs for sure or even a dedicated snow tire like the Blizzak but I have had good results sipping MTs. No real need for me to do that these days since I don’t drive on snow/ice all the time.

Cheers

I’ll take a before and after of some stuff I blast and post it.
I also use a old crock pot and let bolts and pieces soak on high for a couple hours and it is amazing what some heat with purple power will do. A couple scrubs with a brass brush and it saves me a lot of time and money on brake cleaner.

Ordered up the last bits I needed to reinstall my flares after damaging one.

I will say the Yokohama’s are not a too notch ice tire. If I sipped them they would be way better. Fine in the pow but soso on ice.

Cheers

I am running the Yoko MT G003 but not too concerned about ice here in AZ, it has been cold in the 30's the last couple of mornings but the ground retains so much heat the roadways here in the PHX metro area are clear. If I lived in the high country (Sedona, Flagstaff, Show Low) I would run Generals as AT as they are deep snow rated and had great experience with them while we lived in Washington State.

Steering column mounted cell phone controller. Believe it was a dealer add to the 450s along with some big ace radio tube receiver hidden in the rear driver side paneling. Gonzo.

A fellow member is attempting to make a steree control out of it,

Awesome! Thanks for the info and now I have something else I want to add

Probable like 20 percent I don’t measure I just dump some in and go with it. The most important thing is the heat helps break it up. On aluminum it won’t hurt it as long as you wash it off with clean water and don’t leave any degreaser on it.

I'm sure someone will whine about your girl with gunns post shortly, but just know I like your sense of appeal before that happens.

 

[Rouleur]

I know I thought about that it was meant to be lighthearted!
I was just telling my buddy that.

How do you have your Blackvue mounted?

The top center of the front windshield and top center of the rear glass. The battery is mounted below the console against the hump in the passengers footspace.

Installed some Thule towers and bars I had laying around. In process of replacing the current rims with a set of 17 inch FJC Toyota steelies I picked up.

The gold on black looks good...it's tempting.

My truck is actually emerald green lol. When it’s out of the sunlight it actually hard to tell it’s green. Thanks for the kind words. I switched the rims out today actually.
