    Michelin AT2's and their MS2 (note called Defender) are top notch tires. All depends on what you will use them for. The Defender (M/S2) is a great highway tire and mine have done great on snow and ice. I just used then at 15psi to go snow wheeling yesterday.

    I know a guy with AT2's on his Taco that he uses for work. He likes them.

    The KO2 is more an OffRoad tire than the Michelin's. Never owned then but they were on my top list when I researched.

    Careful with the icon 2.0 shocks, a buddy of mine out here has had problems, was told by icon that they need to be rebuilt every 15,000 miles of light trail use, he's had them blow out on his rig 3 times this year

    Cant comment on the blown three times part.....but being serviced every 15k miles isnt that far fetched. Fox says 10k on theirs for mixed off-road/road use. King desnt have a specific mile that i remember seeing. You can adjust the service interval as you like, once the shocks start feeling different...get them serviced

    Not that I'm aware of, every one out here is slowly trying to change to a 2.5 shock, from icon, fox, or King

    My friends shocks were blowing well before 15,000 miles on them, let alone the lousy customer service he would get when he called

    Installed the tailgate cap from KBVoodoo today. Very high quality product. It only took 10 minutes to install, and that included the beer. I like that it will protect the paint on my tailgate from the rear window

    Don't do the 295s you will curb them I've had them and it sucked. Sidewall does not protect the lip

    The same shit everyone else has.
    Well, the OEM battery finally crapped out this morning. 4 years and 75k miles. So I replaced it this evening. I also finally got around to refitting the Neosupreme seat covers.

    Nah. That's cheap carpet that's 4'yrs old. I have a mat under that. So the carpet is molding to the mat I guess. The mat has nipples on the other side.
