    A solid 30lbs lighter per wheel. Maybe even more. I need to throw my spare on the scale at work to see the actual difference. Truck loves the diet.
    Thanks !!

    Bro...that's huge! and I'm sure you can feel the dif in handling over the Monsters as they are heavy as hell...lol I swapped trucks with a buddy and he had the 16"x8" Konig Countersteer's and Holy Cow!...was it nimble compared to my 18" XD's...

    I might eventually go your route with the Methods as well.. I've been eye balling those bad boys since I saw them on Defcon's build. They look as good as the XD's on your truck as well which is why I went with the XD's to begin with...the look..:D

    Keep up the good work!:cool:

    Sweet rig!!! I went through your whole build and I must have missed what you are running in the rear end. What do you have back here for springs and scocks?

    Thanks! Currently just Dakar springs and some Shitty 2.25" dirt logic shocks for a 6" lift. I'm about to be deploying so I'll have a few months to decide the direction I want to go with the rear set up. Currently leaning towards pelfreybilt hoops shackle flip and icon 2.5s built to spec.

    I am running the Dakar leaf pack as well with the OME
    $77 d29xl leaf spring
    d29xl add a leaf and have no where near that amount of flex out of the back. I think it's time I get a longer set of shocks so I can take full atvantage of this leaf pack. I will be intrested to see what you end up with after your deployment.

    The stock shackle is holding up even more droop on my set up. I suggest doing the ATO flip and proper shocks.

    Your passenger side tires are on backwards :confused: MTR's are directional tires.

    So the ^ goes towards the front on one side and goes towards the back on the other? I thought the ^ was always supposed to be rotating forward.

    Your just supposed to have the outboard side toward the face of the wheel. It does put the tread patterns flipped on each side so It is a little confusing

    This is definitely a purpose built truck, and one of the best I've seen.

    A few things
    Bad ass truck man!! How do you like those MTR's? Did you run different brands besides those in the past? If so how do they compare? I have 295 trail grapplers now and eventually want to go with 35"MTR's(same exact size as yours). I've heard they are the same weight if not lighter then 33" Trail Grapps.
