Visited a campsite yesterday with a few other likeminded people, was there for 11 hours before I went home due to it being cold.
Going from left to right in the first pic there's a Hilux on 38x14.5R17 Goodyear M/T tires, (my stock Tucson hiding just in front of it behind some trees), a Land Cruiser 100 Series on 35" Cooper M/T's, a VW Amarok on stock size
tires.

Did you run over a pedestrian?

That's why he got that new bumper.

With this bumper I won’t feel anything!

Dodged the rain Saturday and Sunday and did some more work on the homemade RTT rack I'm mounting on the Diamondback cover on my truck. Hoping to be done sometime this week and will post up a pic when I'm done. Will also post a thread on the build when I get done.

Well I picked up a new rig/family hauler two weeks ago. Last weekend had proper tires mounted to replace the cracked old highway tires:

Working on accessory security in the bed of the truck. The idea is to make it more difficult for a "smash & grab" opportunity while traveling. I live in a low-crime area so my main concerns are when parked in town for very short periods of time and when traveling.
I added a cable lock which winds around the shovel and axe but I need to play with the routing so the axe is more secure. So this is meant as an example only. It's not very secure with this routing.
I added a small lock for the gas can also.

You could have got the axe/shovel holder from Smittybuilt , it wound have fit well and has a way to lock down you gear.

I'll look into that. The current brackets are made of stuff I had lying around and can refashion into other holders that don't require security. What what doesn't need to be secure? lol

Finally made the decision to regear. The 373’s just weren’t cutting it, especially with all the extra weight in the rear, and when pulling the trailer.
Thought long and hard between 456’s and 488’s. Decided to go with Yukon 488’s, and so far, no regrets. Still in the break-in period but can definitely tell a huge difference. No more “hunting” between gears!
At the same time did some ARB diff covers, and an AEV snorkel.
Can’t wait to see how it really feels once I get past that break-in period.
