BTW...
Your rig looks AWESOME with those 37 in MTR's!
Not that Ive had any issues with the 35's, but they look like 33's on a SO 60 series! The rig is just soooo big at that point.
Are you getting much rub at either end? did you extend the bump stops, do any trimming?
When I do my V8, I might up the tire size...
Thinking about the TSL SX's.

thaks! yeah i also have 2.5 ome springs so even 35's are small. i get rub on the front when compressed and turned, but that will end with some trimming. none in the rear. I used to think it was big, but not anymore. i have long travel bilstiens and i did not extend the stops. i like the travel. i would even consider going to 38" tsl's also.

and yes barrett is awesome, but both times i have done it we have had it to ourselves. it would not be cool with a ton of rigs....unless they were all your buddies. it is definitely one of my ATF's. it used to be a secret spot, but now with more club runs it is getting more popular. especially in the past few weeks with the Heepers jamboree, that is where everyone else toyota went.

and hey...see you next week at deer valley!!!!!!!!!!!!WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I'm glad we bailed out at the 11th hour. Not that it made much difference after I blew my diff.

Looks like we will have to do a mid week up there some time.

This has to be my favorite trail, I wheeled it many years ago. Those pics remind me off my trip. Me and my friend Bruce Cotter climbed all those peeks and swam in all the lakes and went to the plane crash site and this is what I got off the plane. Have you seen the inverted tree lady right by where you are camping I have a pic of that somewhere. Brings back many great memories of wheeling out in Cali. I also tried to saw off the prop but only got maybe a quarter of an inch in before I quit.
