    I considered the effort of accomplishing this vs how many times I pulled a trailer. zero trailer pulls should be zero effort.

    I took the entire bracket loose and tied the entire setup into the harness with ty wraps.

    Showed up at citrus and there were a lot of bent brackets. Not a smart design on Toyotas part for something that is designed for off road use.

    That's a good idea also Paul if your use is limited. I agree that it shouldn't be where it is from factory.

    BTW,
    I forgot that I had 2 pics of the relocated trailer wire harness. You'll notice that I had to roll the top of the hole out to kind of kill the bumpers curve so that it sits flush. If you decide to do this, see if you can drill it closer to the tag so that it sits more flush.

    I bought (and later sold these wheels/tires) but I drive on them for a while. I ended up making $200 profit & I kept the 5th wheel as a spare. They were a bit noisy but I like them & those tires had some cupping wear so that contributed to the noise also.

    What's had me on the fence is that they only come in black wall now. Though lately I've been getting tired of cleaning the white letters so I may just go for the GY MT/R's.

    I liked those on your truck. I think I'm going to go with Duratrac's next go around.

    Thank you.

    Those are actually one of my 2 choices The Duratracs are great also. Kind of a mix of AT & MT. Those still come in White letters.

    Decisions.... Decisions....

    This is the reason I want them. And they have a 50k tread life warranty. I know first hand how good GoodYear is at prorating tires that don't live up to their warranty...

    In high school I would burn through tires like crazy, and they would give me set after set for virtually nothing.

    Mud Terrains = Even worse MPG. But they grip real well in the dirt.

    The warranty & what Paul said about gas mileage (which I remember you having mentioned this before) gets me closer to the Duratracs. I just hope they are as good or better than the BFg A/T's

    Yeah...I have wanted them for a while...

    I have HID's now, but I hate being that guy! Others that have gotten these retros from Burt have said nothing but good things about them. I may miss the scattered flood light and get a grill mounted LED bar...
