An evening with stumpy..!
dang stumpy...
I just spent my entire evening reading through the entire post! And I don't even own an XJ anymore, lol! Great work! When I started reading the thread I got excited since I'm stationed in Germany (Grafenwoehr) and headed to Ramstein for two weeks for school. But I realize now how long this thread has been going and see your now in my home state! I'm from Marrietta. Small world huh?

Enjoy Germany man, we miss it everyday! There are some kinda cool wheeling spots down there... just a short drive in any direction. Thanks for the compliments, when/if you get back to Marietta, look me up!

FINALLY got some new shoes ordered for the Teal **********. Ordered a set of Cooper STT's in a 35x12.5 size. I LOVED the STT's on my Yota... and I cant wait to get rid of these crappola Interco TruXus 33's. Worst tire I have ever owned.
Pick them up from a friends shop in a couple weeks when I go to Charleston. Woohoo!!

Thats a sharp looking Tacoma. Why did you get rid of it? Im assuming by the tag, import issues?

Where you been man.. both new axles have been in for a couple months now. 4.56's should be perfect with the 35's and the torque of the 4.0L. Right now they are a little low for the 33's.
Ryan, if you look at the first few posts of this thread, it explains why. It was a US spec yota, so no issues of bringing it back to the states. The short of it is they had a frame rust issue, and Toyota paid me quite handsomely to buy it back. I like the Jeep, but miss the Taco everyday.

You didn't go to the NC Overland Rally and didn't mention it at the Tilted Kilt ----- you've been in hibernation otherwise.... ....I've been camping twice since then.... :sombrero:
Hurray on the 4.56s though. I could really use some 35s for my 4.56s...

You got me there.. Believe me I am ready to get out. It will get better now that the kid is getting a little older and easier to handle.
