Did you upgrade the gauge cluster bulbs? They look crazy bright.

Stock bulbs, the camera just makes it look good!

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

What tires do you run?
How do they handle on the passes / mixed snow and ice?

Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, they handle it very well!

Got to drive back to Colorado in my Roommates new Tacoma! Damn these are easy to drive.

I was really missing the snow..

And of course playing in the snow in this.

Explored New Mexico today!

Had this little dude join me...

Finally got one of these.. If you haven't checked out Overland Bound you need too!

Took some night photos!

Went exploring today.

The 60 cleans up nice.

Installed these new grab handles by Cruiser Gear. I gotta say they look good.

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

Oh... hello.

Got some led headlights from a fellow mud member @Racer65

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

Got the headlights installed the correct side up..

Cool spiral staircase downtown Durango.

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

Old lights...

New Lights

Needless to say, they were a huge improvement. And these were only the low beams..
Actually, I couldn't turn on the hi beams at all. Turns out the wiring harness has an issue with the LEDs because of a ground switch.. Read more about that here. So I ordered a wiring harness from @slcfj62 to solve the problem.

Those look great for the LED. May have to invest in some!

I had a quick look around the overland bound website. I think I'm missing the point of the membership other than the cool metal decal. Perhaps I'm just not seeing the right page of the site?

I might have a manipulated view on it because I have meet the owners. But they are trying to make it an overland community were people can share ideas and connect. Similar to mud but for any type of traveler. And yeah I am also guilty of liking the metal decal haha

Got this in the mail. Badass sticker of an FJ60 from a fellow owner who is traveling the world. LOST WORK EXPEDITION.

While I was out exploring this winter wonderland I started to get a weird smell coming from my heater. Smelt like antifreeze so I got out and looked for any signs of leakage. The windows fogged up from the moisture coming out of the heater. SO I knew it was my heater core.. Crappy part about this is it was starting to get dark and the coldest part of the year.. Lucky for me I always carry my winter gear in my truck just in case of emergencies.

 

[Rockymtnreaper]

Got my wiring harness in from @slcfj62 This is a quality product. Looks amazing! Very happy to have high beams again!

The 60 looks good in an Urban Environment as well..

It always puts a smile on my face.
