Yeah for sure. I've actually seen a couple of trails fairly close to my place. Man there just teasing me.

Get your new rubber, get something decent, does not need to be off the wall aggressive, just a good A/T.
And then we will talk trails at Thanksgiving dinner.

Sounds good. I have purchased two Falken Rocky Mountain ATS tires. Two more to go. Going to have Ihscouts join in also? So excited!

Of course he is, it wouldn't be a threesome without him.

As long as it's around Thanksgiving, I have more work than time. Just got into my truck recently to make ready for winter.

I snagged 5 Michelin 4X4 XPC's 105's and installed. New rotors, u-joints and bearings all around plus have all fluid changes coming up this week. Should be ready enough. Lot's of spare parts just incase.

JayJ if I'd known you're getting the bug I could have dropped an R380 (manual five speed) and pedals. High mileage, too high for me 228k. Needed a rebuild to last another lifetime but it was still smooth as butter. Gene's will have the truck tomorrow afternoon. It's a white 95. I've yanked everything worth shelving for spares. Still allot left.

What if the 3 of us just planed for a weekend in the spring?
'froading, steak, beer, dancing girls and the casino?

I'm super busy right now too, this being our busy time of year at work and all.

Dude I have been looking for a set of those forever, they are either all worn out, weather checked or $300 each.

By spring I'll probably have a DII.......

The Rover repair business as a hobby has been very very good to me. That's how I got 6 new XPC's, two never used and the other four are little used and dead even wear. All have nubs, zero dry rot. Free bud. Do somebody a good deed and they do likewise. I'd rather have gone with something a little quieter at 70. Forget the radio. Loud skinny suckers, though perfect balance for these trucks in stock form. Should cut through the deep snow which fits my driving style perfect.

I'm ready for the overlook.

Heck, I'll do that any time of the year, why wait until spring? Aren't you coming up for Turkey?
