Northern Virginia Roll Call

Score! Now that is what I call a deal!

 

Tires came in and are on the truck. While my wife's car is nice, I missed driving the Taco. Time for another adventure?

 

I'm ready.

 

Me too.

 

the addiction is real. I have plans saturday, but if you guys want to go somewhere sunday Id be down.

 

add me possibly in... I should be studying for the CISSP but who knows.... just finished another night ops on the roof:

 

I wish I could go on the weekend. I'll be bidding for a M-F for next year, so we'll see what happens. Right now, I'm a M-W weekender.

 

I'm off sat through wednesday this week sir.

 

Let me check with the wife. We have interior decorations to put up.

 

For your entertainment. Or take it as a challenge. Your choice.

 

Dang, that’s a serious rig and some seriously good spotting too.

 

I don't get it, must be a Jeep thing.

 

The Rear wheel steering is pretty cool

 

Hey guys I’m in the market for new tires, and was wondering where is a good place to get them online or in store . Also was wondering what everyone’s opinion is on KO2’s and KM3’s relative to this area? Thanks in advance guys!

 

I really like KO2’s. They are pretty capable off-road as long as it’s not too muddy and they have good road manors. I have no experience with km3’s, but if you spend a lot of time off-road I would recommend them or other mud terrains.

 

seconded for KO2s. They've been really good to me but they really didn't like sticky mud. I would say those or the Grabber AT3 for road manners and capable off-road, Grabber X3 or ST MAXX for the middle, or KM3 or ST Pro for real off-road focus and on-road be damned.

 

I'm running the Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3. Good all around tire on and off road. Pretty quiet, not much worse than the muffler drone at speed. I'm a Costco member and purchased mine on a sale, basically got a free tire and reduced installation. Four tires for about $750 out the door.

 

I vouch for KO2s and I've run through Nitto Trail Grapplers, Revos, KOs, etc.. (not the KM3 or Grabbers). The KO2s are great for handling on the road with low noise and straight tracking. They also handle the best in the snow and last a long time. The heavy off road stuff (nitto trail) sucks in the snow fyi. My driving is 98% on the road so I value it from that perspective.

And, I also forgot to mention if anyone was wondering about inspections here in VA. I passed inspection with covered up light bar up front, hood light (in the fake air dam), BD rock lights on the roof rack on the sides, rear facing pods, and the MESO third brake light.

 

Now with all the tire talk: How long did everyone get out of the stock 16" tires that came with the truck?

 

3300 miles, then I sold them for 32" Wildpeaks
