    After putting 50,570 odo miles on my Cooper S/T's it was time to replace them with Cooper S/T Maxx. Same tire size of 255/85/16. The Coopers did well and had a few more miles on them left. I was surprised they lasted as long as they did.

    The S/T Maxx looks a bit more aggressive and I'm certain they will do much better offroad than the S/T, though I wasn't disappointed with the S/T except in mud conditions. I forgot what new tires feel like, smooth. Now I need to get a fresh alignment.

    Next step is to re calibrate my Oasis Trailhead tire deflators. Being these new tires are an E rated tire, I'll probably need to drop pressure even lower than what I was running for offroad.

    Haven't posted in here lately. I recently replaced my Light Racing UCAs with brand new Light Racing UCAs. I bought the old ones well used a little over 5 years ago. After going through a set of bushings and replacing ball joints I decided to start fresh...with a warranty after another failing ball joint. I've added some EZView side mirrors from Trail Toys and installed a Tech Deck. Replaced the front brakes and have been doing my regular maintenance. Pretty much a no frills truck...

    How do you like the Tech Deck? Looked interesting, but really cluttered at the same time. I'd be interested to hear (read) your thoughts.

    Also wondering how it does with vibration...the Durafails cannot possibly ever be balanced because there are not enough stick on balance weights to be had (or a new chunk will just break off), so I have a little vibration around 70-80MPH. Nothing crazy but it makes the windshield suction cup mount bounce around quite a bit.

    Would imagine the tech deck holds it a little better. @SMKYTXN you have one as well, does it do well with vibration/bumps?

    Well, anythings going to rattle when you drop off a 3' ledge. :D But as far as down the road? The tech deck holds everything nice and steady. I even have a 7" screen hanging off of it. If they made one for my ford I'd buy it.

    Minor issues with balance and chunking (really 1 of 4 does it worse than the others)...but overall I cant complain much. They do seem rugged overall and have a decent design.

    I like it. I use it to mount my Nexus 7. I had previously used a windshield suction mount that didn't hold when going off-road. There isn't any clutter. I only use it when needing maps when offroading and only have one device mounted to it.

    I bought the MobArmor mount and I'm quite happy with it. The tech deck was second choice, hence why I ask. Thanks bud.

    @MJS I haven't had too bad of vibrations from my Duratracs. Overall, I like 'em.

    A lesser tire would have failed.
