Beer is for after, I get too involved to drink much while working.

Crap, I let 3 cups of coffee get cold when I was getting this done on Sat.

It's been a while since I have had that, I was in Costco last night and they have cases of Rogue right now, almost got some but went for 2 of the Red Stripe instead.

Let me know when you are ready...

LT305/65R18 are made to be run on a 8.5-11" rim from what I've seen so far most Toyota wheels max out on width at 8".You should try to find a better fitting tire in my opinion.

I've got an appointment with Toyota tomorrow so she stays clean for now, so they won't try and wash her. I don't need the swirl marks.

God, I know my truck would look bad azz with some bigger meats. I was eyeballing some $271 a tire Cooper Discoverer STT's 275 70 18's the other day when I got my alignment fixed and I just dont want to lose the awesome stock performance but I cant lie and say I wasn't drooling over some bigger tires! They are only an inch taller though which isn't a ton of difference but I am not a big Cooper tire fan.

Looks really good man. I wish those tires came with the TRD package so we wouldn't have to put up with the crappy rugged trails.

Alignment done Saturday. I got the tech to jack in with his TIS laptop, turned off the passenger seatbelt chime, recalibrated the VSC, and changed the recirculation to auto-off. Took him all of 5 min. and they didn't charge me for doing the adjustments, just for the alignment.

Truck still ride like it did stock, a little slower in the corners as would be expected. Increase in road noise is minimal. I can definatley feel the higher quality in the tires, big time.

BTW, I was looking at my buddie's new to him Dodge 2500 cummins, it had stock Rugged Trails too.

MX,

I love it.. I am looking at that lift as well.. Can I ask you a favor?

Can you give me a direct side on picture of the truck, with so many curves to this truck it is hard to picture what level is.....

When you said recalibrate VSC, What do you mean, I did at one time see the list accessible for the dealers techs like seatbelt etc, what what adjustments can or need to be made to the VSC..

Thanks bud, I sure hope you get snow for those new meats, that sure would be fun..
