So, after getting semi-hung up on my trailer hitch a few days ago, I decided it needed to go. As it's a nice day out and I'm off work, I figured now would be a great time.

Now, there is absolutely ZERO rust on my truck (only one PO, and we both live in Texas, so dry and no salt), but somehow the hardware holding that hitch in was STUCK. After much swearing, beating on the bolts, and two cans of liquid wrench, I finally managed to get the darn thing off. Looks a lot better, and should give me a little extra clearance on my ass end.

While I was down there, I figured it was about time to get the spare tire down. I'd halfheartedly tried when I first got the truck a year ago, but it didn't want to move, and I didn't care enough to really mess with it at the time.

More swearing, another can of liquid wrench, and the never used 31x10.5x15 Wrangler AT was down. Still has the whiskers on it and everything. Dang thing on the steel rim is WAY heavier than the 33x10.5x15 BFG MTR KM2s I'm running on the stock SR5 aluminium wheels.

I think I'm going to leave it in the back until I get around to getting a roof basket, no reason to go through all that trouble again, especially as it will no doubt be be in the middle of the night, cold, windy, and raining when I need it.

Anyway, that was my adventure for the day.

Oh, and how much do you think I could ask for an excellent condition trailer hitch for a 90-95 4Runner?

Don't think 4runner hitches fit pickups... hopefully someone with chime in to clarify though.

Didn't realize that the aluminum wheels were that much lighter than the steelies- as there is a greater volume of aluminum.

yes my 31" xterrains and 15x8 aluminum rims weigh half that of my 28" street bald street tire and stock steelie..
