    Hey Everyone,

    I picked up a 2015 DCLB SR5 4x4 back in December after my 1998 Honda Passport's engine decided to eat itself. I had originally planned on getting a Nissan Xterra, but after driving one I fell out of love with it pretty quick. On a whim I stopped at the Toyota dealer and ended up snagging my truck for a really good deal.

    So far not much is done to it, I did have the dealer put the TRD exhaust on it before I picked it up and it also has the reusable TRD air filter as well. Since owning it I've put on BFGoodrich KO2's, an EGR matte bug shield, a TRD shift knob (auto), and a set of WeatherTech floor mats.

    I'm pretty happy with the truck and I hope to learn more looking around the forums. This is my first Toyota and my first pick-up so there's quite a bit I don't know.

    Yes sir
    Welcome. Go State :D, and how are you liking the BFG KO2's? I have KO's and have heard mixed opinions about the KO2's, mainly because they haven't updated the tread pattern and only really changed the sidewall, but I mean, like they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it

    So far, so good. I needed something to get through the Michigan winter and didn't really want two sets of tires, so I just opted for something more offroad. They did a great job in the snow and managed to dig through the muddy, washed out roads around me too.

    Hopefully this summer I can take them properly off road and see how they do.

    Welcome fellow Michigander. I see you have very good taste in trucks. Looks great. I'm getting Duratracs on Saturday. Best tire I've ran on a truck in winter but thought really hard about the KO2s.
