    '04 DC with 235/85 r16

    Here's a few shots for reference. I just put some new 235/85 r16 BFG AT's on the truck. Truck is all stock (for now). No problems with rubbing, and traction has been excellent with the packed snow and ice we've had here recently.

    1st Gen 4Runner cargo box

    i've been out wood hacking today. and made some decent progress. Now it's really starting to look like something. And i'm even impressed by how big my overall platform is. I did have to take it down about 2" so that the dog could stand up and i can easily crawl in.
