    That's just crazy talk, right there.

    Thankfully I'm only 51, so I think I dodged a bullet on that one!

    Well, heh, I AM actually dodging bullets on that one. :infantry:

    I was expecting 2" of lift, and got closer to 3". I'm happy with it, but my 5' 4" wife? NOT so happy with it.

    I'M gonna go out and burn some receipts - I'll be right back...

    Which Dakar set did you go with? Light, medium or heavy.

    I'm running 275/70/17 on the lifted F'n'J. I went with this because KO2's were still new and I didn't want to take a chance with 285's and a BMC. They're E rated. The truck was a slug before and still is with these tires.
    The non-lifted Tacoma has 265/70/17's KO's without any issues. The Tacoma has more zip than the rolling brick.

    Mediums - I'm liking them so far but I haven't had them long enough to load up the bed and see how they do.

    They do ride really nice, that's definitely noticeable!

    My 265/70/16s are E-rated and heavy as hell. There's barely any performance hit that I can really feel over stock, but I did lose some em-pee-gees.

    The 275's are definitely heavy. When I rotate them I'm always careful not to blow out my back again.

    I get some young guys to rotate mine for free at Discount.

    They did break a TPMS sensor once, but I got it replaced at Discount Tire's expense.

    I prefer the E-rated tires anyway.

    Colorado trails consist of nothing but sharp rocks it seems, and since I've been running the heavy tires I've never busted a sidewall or gotten a hole.

    Remember the saying “Adulting is hard?” ... it occurs to me “Eldering is worse.” o_O

    Got a hole from a rock on a paved road about 5 years ago. Light didn’t come on until I got home. I could hear it hissing. Put the floor jack under it and went to bed:thumbsup:
