My BIL took me out to 5 mile pass to get a little experience. It was a lot of fun. I got to test out my gear for inflating and deflating tires - worked well. Dropped down to 20 psi and was amazed at how smooth it felt off road. Granted, I didn't do anything crazy - but I got to test my 4wd low and center diff lock.
I don't have a lot of experience, but I am impressed with these Falken Wildpeak A/T3W tires so far.
Also fixed my air conditioning for $12 - just needed a bottle of refrigerant.
Future plans include 2.5" lift and sliders.
