Replaced my license plate with a LED bulb. (Thx Mark for the heads up)

When you fall over, you probably went too far that way.

Interesting - how does the local constabulary like the idea you no longer have a license plate -- or does the LED have the numbers on it?

Sorry -- just couldn't resist that one.

I bet if yer really tippy you won't have time to look at it

I have one in the Taco and never look at it.

My dad had two in his FJ55, one for fore/aft & one for port/starboard. I think he mainly had them to scare my mom cause he never looked at them either

They are great for leveling the rig for camping . . .

Never owned a FJ55 but always thought it was a Land Cruiser but maybe wrong, the cruiser is for cabin cruiser as in boat?

Guess you missed the . I know what a FJ55 it's just the terms fore/aft & port/starboard I think of being on water not land.

Sarcasm is tough to get right. I mean starboard.

I was just thinking about the tires in this thread yesterday. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/2015-trd-5-lug-18-wheels-w-michelins.825967/ I have feeling they found a new home. Thought they would look good on my slate Sequoia but don't need tires yet and for some reason Michelin tires are cheaper for the 20" bling wheels that came with it than 18" wheels. Also dealing with the better half always saying changing tires and wheels must be a guy thing she doesn't understand.

Still interested in your old FJ80 wheels if you ever dig them out.

the local moving company got to transport just some large stuff - $300 - done

Put on a new front bumper this Monday, it's the Underdawg bolt on: "Old bumperoo".

Also, had a great lunch on Tue. with DSRTRDR and her co-pilot as well as the Spa gents.

Packed the family up and went to the White Mountains this weekend--no action shots of the rig out wheeling but we did have fun--my co-pilot was not in the mood to get out and snap pictures of the rig in 20 degrees (f).

There was some snow, lightly dusted from Pinetop down to Christopher Creek off the 260.

Forest Lakes (off the 260) had a good amount on the ground (~7,600' in elevation) and I did slide a bit making a Uturn on a desolate dirt road, I think I was on Rim Road or the Willow Creek area. That's excitement for ya folks! hahaha

Polk audio marine 6.5 front and middle. Modified original grills in the front and used those instead.
