My lunch break consisted of topping off the oil, filling the gas tank, and "mostly" replacing the air in my tires. I know, sounds weird, huh? Well, that last bit about replacing the air does.

I dumped the air, which is only CO2 at this point, down to about 15PSI in each tire. I used the air at the gas station to refill (35F/50R) the tires. Turns out CO2 is soluble with the rubber in our tires and escapes out to the atmosphere. It's true, look it up! I seem to loose about 1# a week and usually top off with my CO2 tank, again during lunch.

This is the first time I've used actual air to fill my tires in years, so I'm curious to see what happens. I'm going to start a separate thread on this and track my findings.
Wow that's crazy. I never knew that

Replaced the"locking lug nuts" (that required an adapter) with regular lug nuts on my trailer so I wouldn't have to worry about having the adapter to change a tire.

Should I get the bigger tires and dismissed Toyota's coverage altogether? Does it look good like it is to you guys? I think they are a little small...
Tough to tell at that angle, but the most important consideration is making sure your suspension has full flex and there is no binding or rubbing. If you can fit bigger and the gearing supports it then go for it.

I have a ways to go yet I guess... these are nice too.

I wish the dealer would let me bump it up and still cover it lol

They told me tires and wheels are covered for 3 years... unconditional

Finally put on my t-case skid plate on, it's only been sitting in ly living room staring at me for about a month. Also put a new indicator bulb in and attempted to grease my ball joints and tie rods but I couldn't get my grease gun in without the flexible nozzle.Skid.jpg
