    They’re more agressive in person, but I agree. They are not the best looking tire

    They come in a 285/75/17 which I really like but the look. Hopefully stepping up to a 34 makes it look more aggressive. I love my generals but again, not aggressive looking at all

    I need this after all our salt and snow

    That’s the exact size I have. Legitimately love them. So glad I spent the money.

    I need to do the same. Removing my intake tube and cleaning my airbox right now, they were pretty rough...

    So I take it you like them enough to order again?

    How do you like them for on road manors?
    Did you air down the F150?
    With it being 2wd, do you think they helped that much?

    I would absolutely order them again. I like them more than I like my Falken M/T’s. They’re the quietest tire I’ve ever owned on road. Right before I got them into dirt I was telling myself “wow these are quiet”. Didn’t air down, I thought about it, but didn’t bother.

    I don’t have any idea how they compare to other A/T’s in term of traction, but they really did surprise me with how well they did.

    I’ve been looking for someone running them in a 34 on a 4Runner/Tacoma.

    I’ve never heard a bad review on these or the st maxxs. But since I have to buy wheels with them too, I’ll probably settle on these

    That should be real fun, I'll have to snag some spindle gussets eventually. I need to weather to warm up so I can do some painting... I have rock sliders sitting in my unheated garage waiting to be painted and mounted, and a gallon of Monstaliner ready to hit the flares. Also need to finish painting the frame.

    So much nicer working when everything is out of your way! I did a front end rebuild in October so I know the feeling.

    I'm sure it's going to feel pretty good to get back on the road again. Good luck with all the work!

    49505 and 93258 are exactly the same part, so that's interesting. The only difference is the marking that would be on the CAT. Legitimately choose the cheapest one hahaha

    What color flares are you doing? Been thinking about color matching mine with some sort of bed liner

    I'm Desert Dune... I was really wanting to color match, but I've heard that DD is damn near impossible to match with so I didn't bother. I just snagged a gallon of the typical black Monstaliner since it has a 5 year no-fade warranty, and found a deal that included a pint of rust converter frame paint for free. I love the frame paint so far, but it got cold before I could get to the flares lol

    I'll probably eventually do my flares in linex when the paint starts to fade. Good thing is black is easy to color match haha

    When I went in mid December it was mid teens at night. From the interstate to just 5 miles or so in the temperature dropped 10-15 degrees. I also ran it west to east. With a 0* bag I was plenty comfy sleeping in the 4runner.

    Soda lake was totally dry when I was there, but the Mojave river crossing was a good bit deeper than I thought it was going to be.

    Was there a panhard extension here because I seem to have sheared mine off completely.
