Also theres the MTR in a skinny 34.3" (275/80r17) like i believe @Shadowhunter runs that weigh in at 60 even. awesome size IMO

Right, but not in C range unfortunately.

It looks like the general grabber x3 comes in a C range now too. Whopping 77 pounds though.

$400+ General Grabber X3 Tires

Thanks... Yep, that's me. I've customized the shit out of my rig over the last 3 months, she stands out You do any wheeling?

 

If it’s a trail that goes somewhere yes, if your talking ruts out in a bottomless swap no.

 

Lol, I hear you. I always take kind of an overland approach, not trying to do any crazy rock crawling, just get throgh the trail without breaking anything. Ever been out to Walker? Just went last weekend, killer place!

 

Im diggin mine so far, been getting out in the rain a bit too and haven't noticed any issues.

 

34.6” The 21/32 tread depth is pretty nice too.

 

Yep last time I went I cracked my bell housing and put my fan through the radiator in my 96’

 

Ouch! Yeah that's the stuff I try to avoid. Well I go wheeling as much as I can, we should meet up and see what we can get into

 

So you're saying you don't like to follow k5 blazers on 40" boggers that are welded front and rear?

 

I thought I read somewhere that over "x" size, brand new they all come with 21/32 tread...



Not they as in that brand only, but all manufacturers.

 

That's what I like about the MTRs too. Nice deep treads unlike KO2s that come at like 15/32 new lol

 

Lol, I had a 73’ on 40” boggers. It was my first wheeler.

What are the recommendations for skid plates? Would like to get some more protection but holy hell... So much money! Any local fab shops or recommendations on some that won't break the bank?

 

4xInnovations - usually in stock and are beef.

 

https://bpfabricating.com/collections/trail-armour Bulletproof Fabrication has deals fairly often on this skid plates and tow hooks where you get both for the price of the plate or a little more

 

Nice! This is what I'm talking about, huge thank you!

 

I'll wait to check out their deals. They're definitely pretty for something that is bolted on the bottom of the truck and meant to take a beating.
