    KM2's are supposed to be some of the quietest MT's out there. I haven't ever had any other MT's so I have nothing to compare them to. haha. They can dig amazingly though!

    As bizarre as this sounds they actually get quieter the faster your going.

    I drove from outside of DC to Myrtle Beach ~500 miles and when I was doing 80 down the highway I wasn't annoyed by the tire noise at all. I think the worst part about MTs is that when you come to a stop or just get going the truck shakes a bit as the truck sinks between treads.

    As loud as my KOs were, those MTs are definitely going to be loud.

    I sold that truck with 40k on those tires and they were probably less than 50% worn... would have easily pulled 80k out of them.
    Kept them up at 65psi.

    Any chance your shovel can be flipped so the blade is facing the bed side? Makes for a little axtra room ad safer if your carying anything in there not tied down properly. Les likely to slice something open by accident.

    Looks great though.

    Not mine, but just added the Aero Turbine muffler my wish list.

    EBay seems to be the best place to get these at a good price.

    Thanks Randy! :cheers:

    I could flip my flat-nose shovel around no problem. The new Bully shovel has more of a pitch to it, so it might hit the rail or canopy if I flip it around. I'll check it out later today. It should be okay as is, but we'll see how it holds up after bouncing around on the trails :D

    Thanks Chris! I picked up a fire extinguisher immediately after reading that thread on TW about the lady trapped in her burning SUV, and no one had a fire extinguisher. Thankfully the semi drivers carry them and were able to save her.

    Safety first! Better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. :thumbsup:

    I had these little red vinyl Toyota emblem stickers made and stuck them on my center caps. Looks great (I think) on my nautical blue, black trimmed base model regular cab.

    Nice set up Benson. I like that cargo box. Who makes that?
