    Those winch bolt holes aren’t made for those of us with bear claws for hands...

    Mine took some duct tape and a wrench to make sure I could reach the bolts with the nut haha

    Nice! What tires did you go too. I see you got some new ones. The Duratracs finally wore out?

    Thems look like Cooper Discoverer AT3s

    If so, I’ve got those on my Jerp and have had them for 4 years now. Great tires

    Maxxis makes good tires. I had the Bighorns on the Tacoma in 255/85/16

    STT Max is what I’m gonna go with in the next couple months.

    I like my pizza cutters, but you know I run normal size tires 265/75 on the road. Just swapping out my KM2 for KM3 we'll see if they're any better.

    Good one @YamaDirtrider I gave him a seizure when he was installing his bluetooth controlled strobing rock lights :rofl:

    BTW why do you have a rock lights switch when yours are controlled by your phone?
