Wow! I don't know if I'm more impressed with your recall of early 1990s pop culture or your brutality in ripping @Headbarcode 's fashion choices. But hats off either way.
Nostalgia for us... homework for millennials, my good man.

I installed a new set of Kanati Trail Hogs AT-4 in 315/70/17 replacing Falken Wildpeak M/T in 285/70/17. Picked them up from PriorityTire.com for $1,200 for a set of 5 including demounting the Falken's and mounting/balancing the Kanati's.

They are (more or less) Goodyear Duratrac tread design and are 3 peak rated for snow. They also weigh exactly 4 pounds more than the Falkens--84.4 versus 88.4 (mounted weight for both). Considering I went up a size as well as changed from load range C to load range E, the weight difference is minimal and should not be noticeable. I need to use my Tazer Mini and tweak the tire size and pressures and I will probably kill ESS while I am in there.

Very happy with the look and ride so far!

Just ask @cosine he knows!
All done and very happy with the look and the ride thus far. Kanati Trail Hogs AT-4 in 315/70/17 replacing Falken Wildpeak M/T in 285/70/17. Picked them up from PriorityTire.com for $1,200 for a set of 5 including demounting the Falken's and mounting/balancing the Kanati's.

Considering I went up a size as well as changed from load range C to load range E, I am very happy. Now to use that Taser Mini and tweak the tire size and pressures.

@blnewt
Nice looking setup, look forward to your reviews on those tires once you get some time w/ them, especially in the cold.

I added the R3 hinge film to one of my hinges. Took a bit of work and patience but got one done. Lol. Only 7 more to go. I think I’ll do a little at a time and going to wait til next week when it gets a little warmer. It’s snowing outside so the garage is pretty cold.

Yesterday I installed the sunroof insert for my Gobi rack. The directions say to install the securing knobs on top of the rack with the carriage bolts come up from the bottom through the clamp. Since I do not intend to take this section off on a routine basis, I used the carriage bolts from the crossbars and installed them facing down for a cleaner look.
