When is the next Meat-A-Palooza?

 

When are you bringing beer?

 

*Jberry's thoughtful insight*

 

Everybody's so far apart now. I miss our weekly ones lol

 

It's like.... It's like... It's like you're trying hard to throw a subtle insult at me but I j u s t don't care. Are you mad?

 

Ask Devin. lol

I guess I backed myself into that one...

I know! I would be down for a monthly or biweekly one in the springs/pueblo. That place in the springs is better than Dickeys. lol

 

Rudys? Totally.

 

Yup that is the place. BBQ and Junkyard run! lol

 

WOOT

 

I'm looking at doing my switchpro install here soon. I have 2 lights rated at 96w per light. Each circuit is rated at 18 amps. (96/12)2=16amps or vehicle running at 14v (96/14)2=13.5ish amps. The circuit is rated at 18, not sure how I feel about a 2 amp headroom. I'll try and get some start-up spikes with my amp-meter tomorrow.

The whole point, I thought, of the switchpro was to eliminate the need for fuse boxes and relays. I'm not sure I like a circuit rated at 18 amps running 16 amps continuous.

 

I good rule of thumb is that a circuit can be loaded to 80%.

 

Damn no wonder those lights are so damn bright. That's a lot of draw. @steezemcqueen what does Switch Pro think?

 

Yeah I got the joke, hence the Oil question

that's cause Army works all the time... I'm Air Force... we're 9-5

do you guys often know how sensitive boys are?

 

Those Fox's are not the latest and greatest in the 1st gen Raptor and are/were very undersized for a 6K+ truck. The BFG's were supposedly a special compound on the raptor. The KO2 is basicly the same tread pattern as the KO but a better all around compound. My brother put a set on his F350 and the rears are chunked to shit after 4K. I have Duratracs on all my vehicles. 315's on the tacoma, my DD 3rd gen Cummins, and 265's on my wife's 5th gen 4Runner. They work well for me, I will see whats available in 40K when the T4R and dodge tires finally wear out.

 

Sorry to be jumping into this thread a little late. Just throwing these into the mix: Cooper Discoverer MTP. They just came out last month so not many reviews. They are a Discount Tire exclusive so you won't be finding them at other tire dealers as far as I know. I've had em on my truck for a few weeks now and am pretty happy with them. They did really well in the snow but not as good as the Duratracs. For the aggressive tread pattern I was quite surprised at the noise level. They aren't quiet but considering that they are MT's the noise level was quieter than I expected. I haven't tested them in dry trail conditions yet for obvious reasons (it's still winter). The best thing about this tire however is the price. You can't beat it. I was seriously considering some Mastercraft Courser MXT's after looking at Phil's truck but when I saw these and the price tag... I was sold.

 

Apparently they changed the shocks for 2017. 3" bodies now. I am a fan of the Duratracs, the sidewalls can't hang on my current work truck, but they saved my bacon on my last one! I call BS on a special compound, unless their special compound is rubber. Everyone here seems to like Cooper ST MAXX. I have AT/3 on my old F250 and I took a huge chunk out of the sidewall a year ago and never lost air. very impressive.

 

I have the KO2's in 265/70/17 and like them. I have had zero issues on snow or ice, grip was great and no issues stopping. Quiet on the highway. Did amazing when we went snow wheeling in 18"-24" deep snow. Allowed me to get up a hill that a 2 other vehicles, 1 with toyo's and 1 with original BFG AT's, could not get up. Just my 2 cents.
