    Awesome. Only issue I have withthem in the snow is when there's only 1-2" of snow they don't get much traction. If I had them "siped" I think they'd be the perfect tire :cool:

    If everyone has MTRs, that will be gaaaaaay. Since I got mine, 2 people have picked them up too. One person gets something around here, everyone else wants it too. I hate that. Of course you guys don't live near me so it's ok :)

    I have put about 2000 miles on these so far with about 200 miles on dirt. They perform better than the BFGoodrich KM2's I had. Airing them down to 15 PSI and they conform to the terrain very well. 15 PSI on my E rated KM2's and the sidewalls were still a little stiff. I have still yet to put the MTR's through some real abuse but hopefully will this next month.

    Where'd you mount your ARB compressor? I'm looking at the twin right now as well and considering several spots on the truck...

    It is mounted behind the backseat on the drivers side. Barely fits back there. I will post up pictures later this afternoon.

    I'd appreciate the pic if you get a chance, been debating on places to mount it and due to my indecision it is just collecting dust in my garage currently...

    No rush, season's almost over out here in Utah so I'm just getting my to-do list ready for the offseason... I just wish it as epic as your last list!!

    Good luck with the project, that's a lot of electronics you have floating around in the cockpit

    Antennas are being relocated and antenna holes plugged. Its a pain in the ass to take them off when I want to put my paddleboard on the roof. Plus, I plan on running a pair of front runner roof racks above the cab and the shell.

    Here is how the
    $592 CKMTA12 '12V' On-Board Twin High Performance Air Compressor, Ideal for Air Lockers Locking Differentials, Tire Inflator, Air Horn, Air Tools and Pneumatic Tools.
    CKMTA12 is mounted behind the rear seats.

    IMG_0695_885f215d39898d93f1c7c667e457e5fe7a46218d.jpg

    It is mounted to a custom fabbed plate and then that plate is bolted in place.

    IMG_8148_4490ea7aeaccb52b0e23bdd3ed37425095bdb51a.jpg

    I dont have the manifold kit yet so the compressor is just running straight to the rear locker. Once I have the manifold in place next to the compressor, I will be running quick disconnects to the front and rear bumpers.

    I've never been around one of those compressors when it's running; how loud is it?
