They do look a little long with the snow packed on 'em.  They're actually a little shorter than the stock ones. :mask:

Yeahhh I'm glad I replaced them all regardless of anything else. They were all noisy. Opened the hood to drop a gallon of washer fluid in today and it was so nice and quiet under there.

Not really anything to do with Tacoma besides the fact that I drove it to this place.  And holy shit does photobucket compression kill pictures.

There'll be a ski flying tournament here on the 17th.  I went last year and it was sweet.  Tons of people, giant bonfires, you can climb along side of the landing chute and watch up close, competitors from all over the world.  All 5 minutes from my hizzouse.  Those are the mine wasterock piles in the background...the ski jump is constructed on old waste piles, hence the nice slope and level area to build.

Looks like a moraine to me.

Totes a moraine. Although isn't that basically a glacier's trashpile? :lol:

I could be wrong. If anything, it's a moraine they sculpted with waste rock and dirt because it's all over the place there. Looks like there's some little cliffs in the median between the biggest right jump and the middle jump, so you're probably right.

Rupert

I pretty much assume everything that's not flat and is linear is a moraine in that part of the world.

LOOK AT THAT EROSION. STOP DESTROYING THE LAND WITH YOUR OVERWEIGHT ICE CRAFTS.

Bahah it's pretty much impossible to find land in the immediate area that wasn't at some point touched by miners.  So much destruction and, uh, land modification.

Nick, you're an idiot.

You're the one complaining about erosion. Look what those asshole glaicers did.

And the wind. You need to build walls around all the land to protect it from the wind.
And the rain. The land needs a roof. We cannot let erosion ruin this land.

These tires aren't too bad in the snow. Not a whole lotta life left, but the rears still have decent tread for a while.

Let's just pave everything.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?

Pave paradise to put up a parking lot. We can have autocrosses in national parks.

Autocross? There will be no more roads. Just drive in a straight line to your destination. No reason to turn.
