Our 100th member! Welcome to the forum.

Looks like great snow! I'm patiently waiting for my first trip this season. We're just not getting the snow yet.

What size are the wheels on the white 4runner?

spare is a 16", the rest are 15" with my new 35" goodyear wrangler mtr's. So far so good. The tires seem to do very well in the loose snow.

For some reason that wheel looks really big. What size tire is the spare?

315/75/16. Its the snow dust that makes it look so big. On the runner is 15x8 with 35" goodyears running 3psi. Seems to work pretty well on the little yota. Pile the family in, hit the arb's and have all the fun one can handle.

The saw is mounted on a quick release platform from the spare tire carrier. One pin and the saw is off and ready to go.

Nice work! Thanks for the idea :idea: The handle of my saw seems like pretty thin plastic, so I might have to beef it up a little.

I think what I might do is create a hook for the back of the saw, like the front, but much deeper. Then I should be able to engage the front hook, rotate the saw so the handle slides under the rear hook, then use a pin or something to keep it in place. That should also solve the problem of worrying about the plastic handle breaking.
