    Well I only have 5000 miles on these tires and I will say this, it already looks like the KM2's will win in the wear category.

    The MT/R's win hands down in every other category. Definitely a great tire! But like I said I need more time with these tires to make a final decision.

    Not a Stocko Taco.
    I am not a fan of the KM/2's. Have run the MTZ for two sets now and am looking at MTR's for the next go. Spoonman runs MTR's and they seem pretty gnarly.

    Looking at going LT but my truck is my DD. Any issues with running your tires so wide out? From the photos they look great

    Mine is a DD. No issues at all with the tires being that wide. It really is not that much different from stock width. You just need to be more careful when getting into narrow sections or parking but I usually park in the middle of nowhere.

    Who installed your TC cam tab gussets and spindle gusset? Did a shop do it and if so, which one/how much did they charge? I know the spindle gusset is no problem but the cam tab gussets look annoying.

    Demello did mine. They were a pain the ass to get off. Newer trucks should not have a lot of trouble getting them off.

    Good luck getting those off. Might as well order some new tabs before you tackle it.

    Any idea on where to pick those up from? Or do I have to order from an OEM parts site and pay $$$?

    You can get them from the dealer. They aren't that expensive.

    Probably a silly question, but did you seal all the "holes" in the underside of the truck that go into the cabin for the water crossings?

    I noticed one when I was running some wires and it looked as if water could easily get in. Also, did you water proof the door seals as well?

    How about any engine compartments?

    :D

    Just curious cuz I haven't ventured into deep water yet, but I'd like to be ready when I do. :D

    I haven't done any of the other grommets/holes. One of these days I will get around to doing it when I change the entire carpet out for one of the 2012+ rubber carpets.

    Have you gotten any water in your cabin from any crossings?

    Not yet. I thought i would have when the water was above my tires but it never came in. The best thing you can do is to scout the area ahead.
