    Scored both sets for $250 was just sad they don't stack as low as the newer version. So I cant mount all 4 on the mount but. Still decent so now I've a spare set. along with a couple pairs of cheap ones that I can throw not on the Gambler500 car!

    I haven't. The only tires I've had on this truck were BFG's All Terrains KO2.
    @crashngiggles recommended the Toyo's to me. He would know more about rain and snow performance.

    I have had them on the the last 40k miles, and I live in MA so Snow is a factor.
    1. I would give them a 8/10 in the snow......especially heavy thick snow.
    2. In the rain I would literally give them a 9.7/10........they are the only tire I have ever had where if you roll down the window in wet pavement weather, it almost sounds like the tires are being "Velcro'ed" to the pavement. they are amazing.

    Thanks for this. Was on the fence between these and the Nittos...rain and snow are the issue up here. We get 3 months of summer....

    Got around to installing my IPad / Map board mount.

    Just need to get a sheet of aluminium with a clipboard style thing for it.

    But for now this works great for GPS and the aux gauge.

    Where did you get those mounts? The ones that are on either side of the HVAC controls?

    The one for the IPad is some scrap flat bar I had lying around.
    Drilled some holes for the ball mount and VHB tape to mount to the plastic.

    The one for the left is for my radio to clip onto, 3D printed and it’s on a hinge.

    Driver side almost done, had to align it horizontally. Just have to decide on what color to do the bezels.

    So much color on these projectors!

    Bought an OEM grille, dissembled it and glued in a pro style insert. Missing the letters for now. Also replaced the headlights.

    Been running the same size tire 265/70R17 for 3 years now in SL. Overall been a decent tire. No complaints for my use. It's been reported though that the SL's wear a little faster than the C or E loads.

    Toyo has a 65,000 mile warranty. I have to see what pressure I need to run. 35 was too much in the BFG’s.

    Just braved this 100⁰ heat and installed the URD fuel pump upgrade in my red truck. At almost 250k it still had the original fuel pump so I wanted to change it/upgrade it for peace of mind

    I just picked up a well loved, but still serviceable Leer 100R for my Tacoma -- it replaced my GFC which I just sold a few weeks ago. I am looking for a mid-rise shell, but this leer will cover my needs until I find what I am looking for.

    Found a blue stock Tacoma. Thought it was cute to compare between the two.
