New England B.S. Thread

Yeah, thanks for the dope slap... I was getting a little overly optimistic !

 

Dammit i want these but once i get my dakars installed i feel like they might look to small. Decisions decisions... Guess i gatta wait to see if the guy still has them

 

yeah, i almost went with those, but decided to get the general grabbers instead in 265/70/17. I'm lifted with 885x on 5100's and a 1/2" spacer in front and a 2" aal in the rear. I think the tires fit and look great with 3" of lift and still pretty street friendly, look just like the bfg k/o's, but cheaper, last longer, and don't pack up with snow. All that said, I think the more agressive look of the duratracs would look even better!

 

I love my 255s. I haven't had any problems in any terrain I have encountered.

 

I don't like to dick around; make a decision and move on...

Actually I have been looking at this for some time now but it's always good to throw it out as a fresh question and see what folks come up with. I'm definitely going skinny. I like that Defender look and all you ever see on serious overland rigs is skinny tires.

Can't wait ! Now I know what to ask for this Christmas !

Edit: $219 a pop at TireRack

 

Spread the Christmas cheer??? Hahaha. I want some beefy tires so I can destroy my wheel wells. I need to go taller and get bumpstop drops lol

Oh, any thoughts on a holiday trans-swap? I will probably go with a used trans from Rob and install it myself. I don't feel like crawling around in the snow, and your garage is just so perfect....

 

here's another decent deal-

same tires as 3 posts ^^, but personally I would go with the duratracs if they're available, just my .02

 

I have also considered the grabbers. The guy emailed me back, he still has them, if they are almost brand new like he says they are i might have to grab them. Maybe take a few leafs out of the dakars so the tires dont look to small lol. Thanks again for posting that link.

 

Hey Alex, just stay in touch, You're welcome to take up a bay and if I'm off ill help. This should be good. When are u getting tranny?

 

no problem! I'm happy with how the grabbers look, haven't had them off road yet, but it's a daily driver and see's 99% pavement

 

They come with KM1's the old style before the KM2. The KM1 is like a bogger FYI on the road and with proper rotations i only got abut 25k on mine. this is a vid i made of how loud they are. Traffic was annoying with them lump lump lump

Yeah, I read same elsewhere. From what I've read so far, the KM2's are much better.

How's things Dave?

 

good i got BFG AT's and thats it lol

 

Not a clue as to when. It would be nice to have it soon! Need the money though.

 

Evan not to give you more to think about but have you seen this http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/233752-goodyear-wrangler-authority-rangers-review.html They seem to be well liked and compared to the Dura's but cheaper

 

Anybody that needs some recovery gear http://boston.craigslist.org/gbs/pts/3434283479.html

 

That high lift sounds pretty good

 

Why does mass get all the good craigslist ads

 

Cause we have to deal with all the other bullshit that's associated MA... We need a break here and there

 

agreed... lots of fucked up shit in MA...
