Oregon and Washington BS thread

Has anyone seen or ran the duck commander mt's by Cooper? Input?

 

I had never heard of them until you posted that, but I have had great success running Coopers other offerings. I just put new ST Maxx tires on the wifeys diesel and I really like them. I run the STT on the landcruiser and they are a fantastic tire for Oregon. Good in the winter, mud, rocks, etc. with decent highway manners.

 

Have you read any reviews on how long those coopers last on an 8,000lb truck? Looking for new tires for my dads super duty but most of them that ive found wear fast

 

The reason I went with them is the reviews on the Duramaxforum show most people get 40K miles out of them, some 50K. The last two sets of tires we had on it were Nitto Trail Grapplers, which are fantastic tires, but they only lasted about 20K. I'm hard on tires, towing a 28' travel trailer down rocky rutted roads in the woods every other weekend, lots of highway miles, etc and need a tough carcass that will last. The best thing about the coopers is the price, so if they don't last 40K at least you won't be out $400+ a tire! http://www.treaddepot.com/group/dstmx.html

 

Dang that's a super good price! He's at stock height now but may put a Carli lift on it for a better ride. Im pretty sure I can fit 35x12.5 on there now, currently has 275/65/20 which is a 34.4" I think

 

The ones in the pic are 35x12.50R20's. The good thing about them too is the load rating is 3195 lbs per corner. Not too many decent traction tires that you can still tow heavy shit around with. If you call around most local Cooper tires places will price match. Just print out that page and take it in.

 

Wow that's awesome. Quiet on the road?

 

Surprisingly yes, my wife commented they are as quiet as the factory tires. They seem to ride really nice as well. Some tires on heavy rigs ride like iron at the PSI's we need for towing, these seem pretty cushy even at 70psi in the rear.

 

The michelins that came on it are really hard so im sure he'll be getting new tires soon for it. Thanks though for all the info!

 

Can anyone recommend a shop in the Seattle Area for doing electrical work, including adding switches to the interior, for hood lights, puddle lights, additional fogs, etc. Thanks!

 

Mule expedition outfitters does good work

 

Quite a few of us get work done at Mule Expedition Outfitters in Issaquah. Unfortunately John their main installer is out for a bit so they're short staffed until he's back.

 

Brian always beats me...

Nice! haha

 

so now that im home and got my truck to drive straight... i need help with my other issues from our wheeling sesh at TSF yesterday. My shifter bushing between the two shaft pieces has failed, Ive looked around and my options are limited. I don't like the whole epoxy together but, I also do not like the almost $200 Toyota cost (gathered from threads, haven't actually found the part #). If anyone of you have delt with this issue, give me some advice. I'm debating a wrecking yard if i cant find a part number for the shaft, or the whole kit at a reasonable price.

 

howd you get yourt ruck to drive straight

 

Realigned it? Lol
