Not really an upgrade, but for my 20th year at my job they bought me a Yeti tundra 65 cooler.

I don't think I have that much in me. With every new Toyota model that comes out the more I think that I have to get out of this business.

Can we get some more pics of your wheel and tire combo? What kind of wheels? Look like steel from the one pic where you could kinda see them. Are they custom backspaced?
- Thread starter

Sure. The wheels are Mickey Thompson Classic II's. They are made by Alcoa and are some of the heaviest alloy wheels that I have seen. I like them because the lug holes are steel inserted and I have beat them pretty hard with very little damage. The size is 16 x 10 with a back spacing of 4.44 inches. The tires are 37 x 12.50 r16 Maxxis Creapy Crawlers.
I have not four wheeled them yet because I am busy working my life away, but hopefully will be able to soon. They are quiet and smooth on the street.

That's a nice looking wheel.

Yes, looks good! Does this setup narrow your track compared to the Swamper Bogger setup?

Not much narrower. The boggers we're 37 x 13. They just look narrower. It feels like I have gained some horse power not having to push those boggers around.
Better to get through the snow banks for us!

Absolutely, any time I can help just let me know! Next time I will chain up, not sure why I didn't last time.

Since I can't seem to find enough time to go into the woods, I thought I would crash a car show.
How's she running? Any Winter projects?

The Pig looks like it belongs at a car show. The yellow Dodge next to you... not so much.

It is running perfectly, like usual.
The winter project is get the rear winch installed. I know, you've heard that before. I have also been thinking about a headliner.
The car show was fun. It's fun to see car guys that have no idea what to do with it.
BUT...
First place in the 4x4 class!
They don't know what to do with it, but everyone loved it. Then we went to dinner and could hardly get out of it to get into the restaurant without people wanting to talk about it. Same thing trying to leave the restaurant.
The poor truck is covered in drool!
