What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Drove my truck w/ the bvp bracket from BAMF....and wow...the truck stops much better now. The front end doesn't dive down now when I get on the brakes hard.

 

Thinkn bout gettn km2s

 

Haha awesome! I'm definitely getting one of these!

Do it! I've only had them for 7 hours and I love them! Quite on the road, very nice looking, and not like all the other mud terrains and the typical tread pattern they all have. I'll hopefully be testing them out next Saturday at on off road park.

 

I love my KM2s...they look mean as hell. And they are quiet and ride SMOOTH. They do have a hum to them like most MTs do...but they ride so damn good.

Totally worth the money.

 

I just have 1" rear lift and 2.5" front. Instead of buying the BPV bracket because I don't have much lift, I should just be able to make the adjustment myself and move the adjustment nuts up to place more braking load on rear drums... correct?

 

I am not sure at all how that adjustment works. The bvp bracket is only $9. But with only a 1" lift you may be able to adjust it.

 

Moving the nut is free

 

How much did y'all pay for km2 I run 33/12.5/15

 

I paid a little over $1000 for 32x11.5, and they were on sale.

So I can imagine it will run you between $1200-$1400

 

I may have to km2's instead of duratracs like I had planned!!

 

Yup, that seemed to do the trick. Moved it up 1 inch and brakes feel more balanced and less nose dive.

 

It cost me $1,107 including taxes for 33x12.50x15's. For KM2's that's not too bad in my opinon.

Haha I almost got Duratracs because I'm going on a few long road trips this year, but I couldn't do it!

 

I think I may just stick with the duratracs though. It's my dd and I rarely take it off road. Just don't have time to with school and 2 jobs not to mention there's really nowhere to go around here. Plus the duratracs are cheaper and I'd probably get a little more milage out of them.

 

Yeah, I probably should have. But I couldn't help it!
I'm driving all the way to New Mexico in June, but I plan to do a lot of trail riding on the weekends while I'm there. Other than the few long trips, I only drive about 1-2 miles to drive to work and back.
As for mileage, you'd be very surprised at how many miles people get from KM2's. As long as you rotate them often you're good to go!

 

I can get km2 for like 200 a tire

 

Wow, that's surprising. I spent 2 months searching and the cheapest I could find was $237. I'd definitely get them for that price!

 

Where u buy urs

 

That was on Ebay, but I didn't buy them for that price. I bought them from a local business call Jim's Tire Service. Once I added up the cost of install to the price on Ebay I wouldn't have saved much more than maybe $50 or so.

 

Yea.

 

Got front and rear diff oil changed. Would have done it myself, but I don't have a hand pump so I took it in. Got it back, finished the touch up on the body, washed and waxed it to get it ready for the trip Hopefully I don't break another window.
