Hello, my wife and I have had our 2005 TB LT for about 5 years and I have finally started to do more than change the oil (Well and a Fuel Pump ). We just put a 2.5" spacer kit on it and some new 265 70 17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. It fortunately and Unfortunately has given me the want to go bigger and get it ready to see more than a gravel road. Looks like this site is just what I need with all the knowledgeable contributors that I've seen while Trolling around. Our goal is to have a vehicle that we can take on off road trips and see destinations that we normally wouldn't be able to.

Welcome! I go to the Sierra Nevadas every year usually in September. Been to Tahoe - the Rubicon trail near you. Lower down on your side - Kings Canyon and Shaver Lake areas. Across the hills I've spent about the last five years exploring around Bishop and the Owens Valley.
Here's some pics from a Bald Mountain trip, just east of Shaver Lake.
