Sometimes I wish we lived somewhere warmer like Arizona.

Use this as your guide. I hate Texas. Warm weather also means allergies 24/7/365.

My wife

has terrible allergies so Texas would be a no no. I don’t have any allergies to my knowledge.

All that is juniper you see on that map. Late September to early November it’s ragweed and juniper. Texas is the worst place in the country for allergies.

I have some other linked chains like this but think I will still pick up some like Washingtontaco

Ouch just called les Schwab and they want $230 for a set of two. I might order cables online at half the price. Plus I’ll need maximum clearance due to 35s.

I have snow cables for 33s so looks like I’ll be taking the wife’s 4runner instead.

Interesting you say this, because I grew up in the northeast and suffered with my bazillion of allergies not limited to pollen (meds, food, dust, etc.) The trees they plant all around NYC sidewalks kill me every single day of the year, all year long. I'm pretty sure I've broken the longest sneezing streak in the Guinness World Record a couple of decades ago. Haha. Ever since I moved to TX, I've finally experienced breathing the way breathing was meant to be experienced. Hahaha. It's the total opposite for me. I'm also allergic to the cold as in I swell up and turn red when my skin touches the cold or some snow for a prolonged period. Shoveling, short of wearing a fully waterproofed and sub-zero suit, means suffering. In fact, whenever I went skiing, snowboarding or ice skating, I wasn't able to move around afterwards because my body was so puffed up swollen. For example, smiling would be made difficult. Haha. TX is home for me. I can't go back to the cold.

Same here. I love the cold too. I was born in Siberia. Wife is the one who truly loves warm weather. I considered moving to eastern Washington to have both cold and warm weather.

Oh Siberia! That place always fascinates me, I’d love to go visit. If you do move to eastern WA you’ll be close by when we move to northern ID. :D

Yeah, but then you'd have to live in...Eastern Washington... :lol:

I've spent my fair share of time there. My folks are from the Yakima valley, and I lived in Mattawa for a summer while working at Hanford.

We have family in Kennewick and go visit every winter and summer. We love it. Way less people is a huge plus too. 😂
 
Anyone know who drives a first gen gx460 silver, lifted, black wheels, 33-35” tires, looks like all bumpers trimmed along with side steps in Milton or Edgewood Wa area?

I’ve seen them drive twice now and tried to flag them down to chat 😂

I might end up going the same route as you with the small spacers. This is how mine was sitting yesterday, I am so sick of KDSS.

What exactly is KDSS lean and why do so many people complain about it? I am a new owner and haven't really felt anything off in mine yet...

You can see the lean if you have it. I don’t necessarily understand it either but what I understand is some people have a lean after doing a lift. The spacers are supposed to correct it. I seem to see a slight lean in my truck but nothing more than what Toyota 4x4’s seem to have so I’m not worried about it at the moment. But I do have the Treaty Oak Offroad spacers on hand in the event that I do need them. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️
