Thought I’d throw this one in. The North Beach on Haida Gwaii. 18 km’s to the knob in the background and the road.

Are those mud flaps??

Yes, Rock Tamers on the hitch to stop wearing out the front of the trailer

Like what @eatSleepWoof said, I have Tundra 18" wheels with 1.25" hub-centric spacers. Tire size is Nitto Ridge Grappler 285/75R18. Nitto says they are 35.08 but on the truck they are closer to 34.5 at 40 psi.

In the PNW area, you can find these things easily. I think $400 is the going rate for a set of four "new" ones on craigslist.

See above in this post. No rubbing but that took a wee bit of trimming on the front side steps on each side, removing the front mud guards, and remolding the inner front liners. Rears would fit with no spacer.

Also, if someone could point me in the direction of where to find info about wiring to the rear, that would be much appreciated. I don't have drawers (and likely never will) but maybe a goose gear bottom plate at some point to mount a fridge slide to. So right now, I need a wiring solution in the rear for my fridge, some hatch lighting, and my radio body. I have a six panel Blue Sea fuse box shoved under the rear driver side panel but it's so tight, not all the push clips will stay tight and I can't use the cover.

Picked these wheels up yesterday. What lug nuts are you using? I already have aftermarket wheels and different lugs than stock.

They use the stock lugs usually available on CL for $10 for 20.

Looks good! Assuming you dipped the grill - what about window and door handle chrome?

Dipped the grill and fog surrounds. Window trim is still chrome but plan on replacing it with LC trim in black. Door handles were white but I wrapped them in black. Completely took apart the handles and tucked the wrap behind the inside piece so you don't feel any overlap/lines and it doesn't mess with the unlock sensor.

I also dipped the chrome on the rear hatch but I am going to take it back off and wrap it. Along with the chrome around the reverse lights.

I am thinking of swapping out to the 13 taillights to get rid of some of the chrome but ill probably dip the current chrome on the 09 lights first to see how it looks.

I prefer to wrap over the dip anything I can. Especially for things like door handles and the rear hatch where people are in constant contact. Really all of the wrapping/dip is a trial to see how much I like the look and then I'll paint for real.

I have a test dip on an old center cap that I might try for the wheels at least until these tires wear out and I think of replacing the wheels. Or maybe powder coat the factory. It is a really dark brass color(the picture loses any subtle brass and just makes it look grey)... I was looking for something a bit closer to the 2020 heritage edition wheel color.

Did you go for a swim?

 

[raincityrider]

Had a little fun outside Roslyn, WA with the fam last week.

 

[Chrisleduc1]

Took a trip up to Triangulation Point in the Tillamook State Forest today. Found a recent slide that had me wishing I had some LX570 sliders, as it was tighter than it looks and I was solo...

 

[Str8Laced]

With the new wheels, Tundra TRD Pro take-offs, Michelin LTX AT2 275/65/18's.

Biggest tip: Talk to other travellers on the Dempster, most have great travel stories. Don’t do it on p-metric tires, otherwise the LX on the Dempster is a great ride - no drama llama. Did not swim it was 4 degrees Celsius.

Thanks, I’m planning on being along the Dempster for 7-12 days so I guess I’ll have time to talk to lots of people. How were the bugs?

Very few bugs (relative to my 2015 motorcycle trip on the Alaska highway).
