    Just wanted to share...

    I was in Telluride, CO. this past weekend and wanted to stretch Vicki's legs a little bit, so we took Last Dollar road from just outside of Telluride to the top of Dallas Divide right next to Ralph Lauren's ranch. It's really just a jeep road, and there aren't any technical sections, but the drive is very nice and the views are spectacular.

    Dude, awesome!!!!! I really like the VX and the photos! Oh and nice rims man.....where oh where did you get them? Are those 285/65-18 tires? That is exactly what I was thinking had I stayed with 18s. Looks great!

    Beast,

    Those are actually still my old rims. Yours are so danged pretty that I don't want to take them out of the boxes. I may be needing some new rubber soon so I'll mount yours up as my summer tires, and have my old rims blasted and powder coated to use as my winter rims.

    The tires are Nitto Terra Grappler's 285/60 R18's. Great tire, great look.

    Yeah those are the exact ones I had on those rims that I sent you. I had them on for a few years, but after I lifted it they were off within a few days, didn't really give me a chance to check that option out, you are pulling it off nicely. I loved those tires, I had two sets of them. Are you thinking of going 285/65-18 for the summer tires or the other way? You pull off that look better than I did, and no it is not just the scenery.





    As far as the log cabin/commune in the woods, I am right there with you all, I love the great outdoors, but I have been all over this world and I still love the Texas hill country, there is a little bit of almost everything around here, but there are definite pluses and minuses to everywhere
