So this weekend I went upstate to see some family, do some work with a client and pick up my truck to get it ready for a road trip south. It was so beautiful up there I couldn't help but get out and explore with my truck and take some pictures. I also can't say how happy I am that my trusty yellow top decided to start taking a charge again. The last time I was up visiting (where the truck is currently being stored) It didn't seem to want to hold a charge but for some reason the sub-zero temps changed its mind...? :headscratch:

Looks like you guys lucked out with some decent snow! Thats sugar mountain right? Good times... good times...

I had to get something more road friendly for the stockers and found some 33x11.5x15 BFG ATs for super cheap at tire rack so I went and picked them up before heading out for NY. Being an A/T and on the skinny side they did GREAT in the snow. I still have the swampers on the steelies (see roof) but they will be getting less use now that its more of a DD and I generally keep it an hour from where I'm living.

Are you going to be around over the weekend? Might be able to go out and snap some pictures as I will be in savannah for the weekend.

This is after parking. This accumulation took about 3 minutes.

Have I ever said how I drool over your rig? My wife first looks at me funny, then looks at the screen, then says "NO!" :)

Bone stock, check out those running boards!!

I'm still working on selling my ZJ before the 4runner modifications can start.

Does this tire exist or is that a typo? I wanted some that width and couldn't find any...

sorry for being off topic.
