No doubt, but I will never be accused of being a fair weather fan. 
Born and raised San Diegan, so I must support my (losing) team. Of course, it does make watching the games just a bit more difficult knowing that you are officially supporting the worst team in the sport...

Put a RAS system on the rear of your Ex and you will notice about a 1.5" lift from rejuvenating your springs!...you really don't notice much of a California rake look either...
I put my RAS on because of the 1100-1200#'s of tongue weight I drop on the rear of the Ex...but I liked the added height and ride quality the RAS gave me too!

Morning SoCal!
Well it was family night last night...we went to the drive-in and saw the new Pixar movie Brave along with an older movie Avengers...got home about 2am!
Couple of honey-do's on the list today and than a Summer Solstice blowout party at a buddy's house...booze, food, live band and I'm sure cops will show up at least once since he lives in a neighborhood...but everyone there isn't there to fight and rough house...the noise with over 100 people just is hard to control...you know!
I'll get back on a plane tomorrow morning!
Have a great day everyone!
Joe.

To be honest, I was actually gonna be first going with the Toyo A/T's cuz I wasn't sure that I needed such an aggressive tread OPEN COUNTRY A/T | Toyo Tires but then saw that their 285's were only D-rated with 3,305lb max load....they also had A/T 295's with a 3,415 max load
....but these bad boy M/T 285's are E-ratings at 3,740lb max load
Definitely look at the specific's tab to see the load ratings, and other diameter info stuff. Light Truck & SUV | Toyo Tires
Also I highly suggest looking into Allen Tire Co....I saw these tires on SDHQ's website for like $325...4wheelparts for like $295....but got these at Allen Tire Co for $258 (plus tax)
Washed her today too

Ya, so far so good, but I'll definitely give a better opinion once I get back from this trip. From what I've heard from everyone is religiously rotate them, and that'll keep the humming down while they wear.
