    Thats why you put it close to a cab. You only need it out at the end of the mirror if you are using 2 antennas. You need 9 feet between the antennas. For your use, 1 is all you need. So you can mount it right close to the cab. You can also use a spring between the mount and the antenna. They will have those in the truckstop too. You can also mount it on the bottom mirror bracket. It won't get out as well, but if you only want to talk to the loader and the scale in the pit, it will do a good enough job.

    The TRD Bajas are a 16x7.5” wide wheel, I remember seeing the back spacing was 4”, you should be fine with the Michelins.

    KO2s are a better tire. And I think I was told BFG and Michelin are the same company.

    Small useful for me stuff.
    That is just down right mean. The only thing worse would be to sneak into his box and switch some cards around.

    Don't know if you have a local dealer or not but I've been running a Nokian Rotiva plus I believe. It's supposed to have low rolling resistance and the weight isn't bad for an AT type tire.

    Yeah, they bought Goodrich many years ago. I believe they are only available in E rated.

    Yep, that would be really mean.

    I havent heard of those tires.

    What kind of rating are you looking for? I know that I don't haul loads or run trails that require E, ten ply side walls.

    IMO Kevlar is an overrated material for use in tires. My stock tires were goodyear with kevlar. very light tire. Lot of people had failures with the tire. BFG KO2s are based on a tire thats been around a LOOOOOONG time, and it has an impeccable record for long even wear and durability.
    In fact, Chuck, in YOUR situation, Im pretty sure the tires will rot off your truck before you would wear them out. :rofl:
