    Whiplash?

    I almost traded my 05 for a 02 with 30k miles and two 6" fabtechs welded together then had stacked coilovers too. Throw my 44s on um and drop some panties.


    if Bulletproof was gonna pay for everything, i'd pay half for shipping, then spend a weekend with their cameras or media team testing the shit out of it. Bends my frame or fucks up my truck(rolls/crashes)...ah pau! if the front suspension goes to shit...well, on to the next set up!

    My large socket set is sitting in my friends shop next to the km2s I got from Cody.


    And I bought myself a Lincoln 185 welder...its still sitting new waiting for me to figure out how to weld.

    different people have different experiences with tires

    BFG AT KO all terrains are super popular can't argue their performance on/offroad
    goodyear wrangler duratrac's are another popular AT. Awesome tread design, newer than the BFG but some people have had problems with sidewall punctures.

    I used to run michelin LTX AT/2's, those were pretty awesome too. Onroad, they were the quietest tire i've ever run, had good offroad grip and they last forever too.

    as far as M/T's go, kinda the same companies are popular, different people will say the tires they're running are "best"

    I ran toyo M/T's awhile ago, good offroad grip but loud onroad

    then I moved to BFG KM2's, those were awesome. Quietest onroad MT there is, great mud/offroad grip too; but wet road grip sucked

    Now I'm running goodyear wrangler MT/R Kevlars. Pretty awesome tire design, a little louder onroad than the KM2's but just as good offroad

    right on. the only tires ive really ran on any of my tacomas have been bfgs. either the stock all terains or the onroad offroad ko ones. but open to other brands. i have to say, no complaints with the bfgs.
