Lowdown on Off-road parks

[jluv]

I am really thinking about going with some Fuel Hostage rims, and Nitto Terra Grappler tires. This was my inspiration, lol. I do dig the fender flares, but don't need them, sticking with stock sized rims and tiny bit bigger tires.

It all depends on the offset/backspacing. You don't want your truck to look like a roller skate!

Is that water in your fog light?

David

Yes, water and mud! Those are actually Hella driving lights. They were completely submerged for a few minutes during the first 'stuck' as I was nose in the hole with my rear tires out of it. That's also where most of the mud in the window area came from (spinning tires trying to reverse out). I was able to drain and clean it out at home, and it still works (though the bulb probably won't last long).

I actually intended on replacing those anyways, for something smaller. I already had them and when the smaller KC light broke, I threw these on in the mean time.

But did it change your mind?

Yeah, I pretty much already had. I realized that the whole 'van' plan gets goofed up with a suv (non-jeep), since one of the benefits will be to be able to flat tow the jeep behind for some trips, at least until I do a 4x4 conversion.

Man, just keep it. If you're already having second thoughts, just think about how you're always going to say "Man, I sure miss that Jeep".

And heck, you're already taking the hit on the transmission. You might as well be the one to enjoy the "new" one until you break it again.

Those TRD Pro 4Runners are cool, but even if you found a "smoking deal" on one (you won't), they're still priced to the moon, and you're still going to want to throw more money at it to make it yours. All the while feeling that lonely void in your heart for that little red Jeep that you made so many wonderful memories with. That gut-wrenching feeling that will make you say...

Wranglers are red.
4Runners are blue.
Things aren't the same
Since I traded you.

When you needed me most
I turned my back, like a slap.
And rode off into the sunset
With a shiny new Jap.

You said "Baby, don't leave!"
"It's just a broken transmission!"
But I sold you for peanuts
Listed as "fair" condition.

Ol' Red, please forgive me!
Now what have I done?!?
All I have left is photos
Of the trails that we'd run.

This Toyota runs smooth
But her paint is too new.
She won't run around topless
Like you used to do.

I can't take her doors off.
I can't swing out her rear.
Her headlights aren't perfectly round
Like yours, dear.

There's no 4Runner wave.
What do I do with my hand?
I guess that's a Jeep thing
They don't understand.

So I'll drive my Toyota
And say "Oh, what a feeling".
But deep down I'll pretend
That it's you that I'm wheeling.

why the small flares? looks odd

More clearance, less damage, can run larger tires with less lift. I would actually prefer them a bit wider, and have my eye on a set. These are what it had when I got it. That's said, I have grown to appreciate them and there have been several times I appreciated my tires sticking out beyond my fenders.
