    Does it completely change the feel in corners on tar as well as (eventually) the dirt? Is it going to take getting used to? Did you install a 30 rack tray on the cage for beer runs?

    It's always had a 30 rack tray (passenger seat) but yes it drives really good...squats a lil when u get on the gas ...and with the swaybar and my antisquat it handles street corners well...its not a Instagram 3 wheeler...I think she gunna handle good in the dirt

    Does the 30 rack work with 5 point harnesses? I guess it doesn't matter - you don't have to hear the unbuckled passenger seat ding anymore at your stage of mods :rofl:

    Well shit... hard to see tree roots when it's dark out and you're half drunk just trying to get home safe through the forest. Also sucks not having tools to change to your spare quickly. Bout a 1.5" gash in the sidewall. Home safe, but... wtf to do now . IMG_2915.jpg

    There may be a loophole in there somewhere. Gf said no truck spending more than $500 until she gets something more expensive, shiney and with s name change for her... unless something breaks. This may qualify as a break.

    Show her DMCTacomas page and what repairs may be necessary after a flat tire. A new set of tires would be pretty insignificant comparatively. :p

    I think I showed her before I met him last month. As much as I would love to do that, I am on a serious budget. Decisions decisions

    I've heard about their sidewalls for years. This is my 4th set and love them, was just defending them in the sidewall argument about a month ago and apparently didn't knock on a big enough piece of wood. I've been lucky for years with the abuse I put them through. I doubt any tire would've survived whatever I hit to cause this

    These were 313/75/16 range E. I've had these as well as 2 sets in a 285 E and stock size C rating. Put them all through a ton of abuse and been lucky until now. This was from me sliding into an exposed tree roots sticking out sideways hidden in a corner. I doubt any tire would've survived.
