    Will do, and yeah the TTC's are not exactly street friendly! Off road they do amazing! I rotate them every 1500 miles just so I can hear the radio lol. I will be getting them installed as soon as I get home from Egypt. Yes I'm literally stationed in BFE!

    Sweet, we will be looking for your measurements in the near future:yay:

    Where are you getting them from? Discount tire is the cheapest I've found so far.

    Haven't read whole thread, so sorry if repost. Tire pressure has big factor when measuring height after install. Makes the difference between 32-33" from the ground.

    Well sandman has 295/70/17 on his truck and he says they rub slightly with cab mount chop. I didn't find anyone who runs the BFG in the size we're looking for, but I did find a guy running 285/75/17 on an FJ. He told me they are every bit of 34" and he said he had measured them before and thought it was like 34 1/4 with 40PSI. He also said he doesn't notice a difference between his 34's and most 35's. They look good on his FJ!

    here's the link.

    I am thinking of going with the Toyo, I will be in the rocks a lot more than the mud. I watched a couple jeeps on youtube set up very similar, 1 on toyo's and 1 on KM2's, the toyo looked to do better. My buddy is running 35x13.50x17 on his Taco and he says they've done great and he thinks the BFG might be a little better in the mud. But he said he's seen a few bfg's KM2's with side wall slices and wouldn't suggest them for rocks in my area. He has his sipped and they have 40,000 miles on them with about 50% tread left. He said they are stiff and about 8lbs heavier than bfg, he runs them at 25-30psi on the road and about 8-10psi Offroad. I won't be back in the states for about 45 days, guess I have some time;) I will probably buy whatever set I decide to go with in the next month so I can Install them day 1 when I get home! Day 2 will be a rubicon or fordyce trail run. I don't have skids yet so I will have to take it easy;)

    Ok my tires came in today! So my buddy at the shop measured them unmounted just sitting in his shop they are 33 7/8" tall. He said his dealer website has them listed at 33.83 and he said they are dead on. Sorry John, no pics for another 6 weeks. Damn deployment! lol They are exactly 1 1/4" taller than my Baja Claws, I'm stoked! Looks like June 5th will be a day of mounting tires and trimming;) My wife thinks I'm crazy for cutting on my 2011 truck, but I bought it for that exact reason. And its paid off so its all mine...lol

    Looking forward to seeing pics of your truck with those KM2's on! I'm so torn between those and 35" km2's as my next tire so i'm hoping this may win me over. ;)
