Brians F/R Locked Long Travel Camping and Overland Build

Me and you both. Not really intended to be constantly lifted once installed, so a little extra weight for durability is fine by me... although since I am not using the extra memory foam mattress topper on this one (because the hybrid mattress is much better than the one in my pioneer series) I think I actually trimmed a couple pounds...

 

Have an extra set of wheels I’m gonna throw these 35 slicks on to see how I like the bigger tire lol

 

Seems like a lot of expense to just look... paying to mount them and all.

Also, I am a psychic and already know the answer to how you will like them...

 

haha they might sit in my basement for a while lol

 

Just a pic of the Taco

 

Brian422, how do you like the Kumho MT 71s?

 

you have to put the @ symbol to tag someone. Just FYI haha. But ive had no complaints really outside of slashing a side wall on one of them(wasn't tires fault i was on very sharp rocks). They have been great. Easy to balance and great looking with low noise.

 

Thanks! Been eyeing on these for the next set.

 

Think you'll be happy. They have really jumped in price since i bought them too.

 

Camped with @gixxerphil at Tannehill state park! Got to try out the new fire pit.

 

Did a CMC on a TRD pro this weekend.

 

How did you like the fire pit? Need something more compact than my big washer tub

 

Its been awesome, no complaints and is high quality. Used it about 4 times now and seems to be holding up just fine. Very easy to clean up and pack away.

 

Great! Is it an Amazon special, or...??? Might try it out

 

yes lol, this is the one i have

$133 CAMPINGMOON Portable Stainless Steel Wood Burning Grill and Fire Pit 20" with Carrying Bag MT-055

https://www.amazon.com/CAMPINGMOON-Portable-Stainless-Burning-Carrying/dp/B08PYQXBH2?ref_=ast_sto_dp. Its the largest one they have. Looks to be out of stock right now.

 

Moved on up to 35’s

 

Looks good I hope those milestars do good I’ve wanted to try them, what gears do you have and how’s the difference with the 35?

 

I have 5.29. They ride great. A lot better than my kumho. But im pretty sure that's because these are d load and not E load. Also these are lighter lol. Hard to believe a 35 would be lighter than a 33. That being said they feel almost identical to the 33.

 

What do you mean they feel almost identical? From a power required standpoint? I’ve avoided 35’s because 4-banger life. 33’s are hard enough to turn up even the small hills around here (and it’s any even very hilly in MD)

 

yes, power required. The tires are lighter than the 33 that i had on there but i know thats only part of the equation but still helps. Merging into traffic, overall feel, etc. Might be slightly worse but really not enough for me to tell. Ill report back when i have more seat time. So far its been much better than i thought tbh. I was afraid as well, I'm getting married Friday,we are using my truck as send off car and wanted a BA look for the truck so i just went for it. Glad i did haha.
