I'm running 265/75 16. I just switched to the Goodyear Duratracs. The Cooper ST Maxx were amazing off road and in the rocks, but I couldn't deal with the pulling to the right on the road anymore. Sidewall on the Duratracs may be a risk, but I I got the certs from Discount Tire for them and kept 2 low mileage Coopers for spares. I throw the second spare up top for big trips.
Show us your Toyota 4runner, tacoma or truck.

This was my 6th FJ40 and it was in rough shape when I got it. I spent a lot of time getting panels straight and the truck roadworthy. A collector heard about it and offered me a boatload of money that I could not turn down so I sold it - own your stuff don't let your stuff own you.
I miss this truck because it was really a nice driver and not a garage queen.

HP2? Nice taste in bikes!

I had two of them that I used pretty hard. One I built for tighter trails and the other one was for gravel roads. This summer I got rear-ended on the in the picture and the bike was totaled. I still sold it for $5500 with a bent frame and I took all of the extras off including the ultralight Woddies rims. HP2s are my real passion!

My first FJ40. This picture was taken in 1986 and my buddy and I had just returned from 4 wheeling in our cruisers. We used to beat the crap out of these trucks and keep going until one of us got really stuck or something major broke. I can honestly say that rarely something broke, but we did get really stuck a bunch of times.
My FJ was a 1978 that I bought in 85. I learned to work on cars by taking this truck apart with a minimal supply of cheap tools in the driveway.
Ahh the days you could buy a great FJ40 for $4500.......

My 2012 Tacoma is largely stock save for the addition of BFG tires, Snugtop Hi-liner shell. I built out a simple plywood sleeping platform (supported by 2 x 8s ). This served me well on a two+ week camping/road trip from Santa Barbara to many locations all over northern and southern Baja.

That’s really a great quote and something I need to work on.
I buy something, detail it and it mostly sits in the garage for years before I actually start using it. Some more than others. My TRD Pro Tundra rarely leaves the garage but I love driving it. I know I just can’t replace it with another like it, so it sits.

New to the scene, Army Family in the Midwest. Just getting started, and trying not to get overwhelmed with all things associated with modifying both of our trucks, but definitely having fun along the way.

Wow! Two great platforms to build on!
Recommendations: start with temporary solutions and add capabilities in increments that suit where you want to go next.
Most of us have limited resources (aka; money) so target areas that are limiting where you want to go. Every dollar you spend on upgrades is one you can’t spend exploring. Even adding within a category needs to be thought out; making a rock crawler will reduce on road performance.
Have fun!!

Roger that @Retired Tanker. Appreciate the feedback, definitely learned our lesson on the upgrade of the wheels, we could do without.
