    As the subject reads, I've been utilizing this forum for some time now. Might as well contribute!

    Just traded in my 09 5 lug for a 12 4x4, reg cab. I still prefer the reg cabs and seeing how rare they are on the market, had to get her.

    Current accessories added:
    Vent Visors
    Stubby Antenna
    WT Floor mats
    Bed Net
    NFab Nerf Bars

    Pending Mods/Acsessories:
    3" OME Lift
    16X8 FN 5 Star wheels

    Window Tent

    and lats but not least...

    just curious, what did you pay for the 2012 4x4? Miles? Thinking of doing the same at some point and wanted to know what the 4x4s are going for these days.

    17k miles!
    Carvana listed it at $20,000 which is what i paid. KBB had it ranged $19- $23k. But for a typical 2012 with roughly 60-80k miles, retail would probably be closer to $15k

    Welcome, I long for a regular cab like yours!

    Just a heads up you know that BFG only offers the 265/75/16 K02s as a 10-ply/E load, right? Me personally just would not tax the 2.7L that much.

    Don't worry. Get the tires you want you'll be satisfied. 10ply tires withstand a lot more abuse. IMO I am still considering 10ply for my next buy, but my truck will be sporting the 235/85/16 most likely next.

    Glad I mentioned it then.

    Have a look at tire sites and notate the load ranges and weights on tires you like. Some in that size can be had with what your Dunlop tires are now (P rated which is 4 ply). Or you could step up to C load range which is 6 ply.
