    27 and windy here. 69 in the house burning some white oak, sassafras and a few gren bricks. Should be 24/7 burning from here on (well, I'm hopeful at least). Going to be fun trying to keep the house in the 68-72 range as the temps get colder.

    It's snowy and windy here. My drive home was pretty treacherous, but no problem for my 4runner with the Falken wild peak A/T's.

    We have 50 mph gusts, so it's technically a blizzard. We've got at least 4 inches of snow, and were supposed to get another 4-6" by the time it ends early tomorrow.

    My wife stayed home, and sent me this pic of the fire a choochin', with the pups enjoying the fire. I'm proud of my wife, she's got a good handle on the stove, good wood really helps. WP_20151228_11_08_20_Pro.jpg

    I liked the revos on my mom's jeep wj 4.7 Ltd, but..... These falkens are better. These are even better than the bfg AT's.

    They're quiet, aggressive, great in dry, rain, snow, and nasty clay mud. They last well too, this is the second year we've had then on the 4runner. I'm very impressed.

    I have seen some thick treaded falkins on loggers trucks. I am not sure which tread you have though. There is one of their AT that looks similar to the deuler and every tire maker has one they all copy each other. Its a bit different but similar. Even the chinese brands have a look alike.

    The dueler revo 2 are more aggressive than the old school deuler AT

    Getting ready for the night load. Maple beech and oak.
    Freezing rain started at 4ish.
    Yard and gravel rds coated with ice .Blacktop rds were OK at 7 when I drove to town for pizza. Must have been treated earlier.

    Yeah, the revos, both 1 and 2 are more aggressive than the old dueller AT, which I had on my zj Ltd. There's 2 wild peaks, both are similar tread, but one is even more aggressive. These are the three lesser aggressive ones, but they are far more aggressive than any other AT.

    These dont look anything like the old dueller AT. Much beefier everywhere, especially on the side wall edges.

    Yea those are the ones. There are many copies of that tread. Close to the revo2

    Nitto has some crazy tires out now that are setting the bar in tires as there lower in price. But loggers I know say they dont last. Even load E said they last like 6 months on their 3/4 tons. Those guys run through tires as they drive many mikes and had e lots of tools on trucks. They have about tried them all.
