    Yeah, it'll be a long drive, I should have a relief driver though so it won't be as bad, especially is we stay a night or two somewhere.
    I'm hoping to get 18 average MPG, and 20-21 driving across texas.

    Dad brought home the washer we need to finish the hubs, but we didn't get it installed today, so maybe tomorrow, then onto the plywood deck, unless the tires get here before then.

    Really how it's setup from the factory isn't terrible. Just depends on what you want to do with your truck.

    For you, having a ton of flex and not much load capacity works great.

    No, literally the factory first gen set up is trash in every way. Toyota leafs are complete shit, ride like shit and of corse don't articulate for shit.

    2nd gens at least ride a lt better from the factory.

    Also i stilll have 3 Leaf half ton leafs, so load capacity is still at least as good as stock, so I didn't lose anything there

    To each his own.

    Like I said, depends on what you want and need out of it.

    Kinda, the wet (on road) traction isn't great, I drifted through an intersection once with the little bit of rain we get here, and my cousin (Who had these tires on a 2004 pre runner before me) had several experiences of pulling a U turn at a red light in the rain and ending up facing oncoming traffic. Dry traction is pretty good, I have to really try to break them loose on dry pavement.
    Offroad (the little I do) they're OK, I don't air down so I end up using the locker a lot.

    If I were to buy them new I'd get load range D instead of E.

    My next tires will be these on spare wheels as my "wheeling tires"
    Or Hankook dynapro MT's

    Honestly, the AT KO's are outdated and if I were to get a A/T for my next tires I'd probably go with goodyear wranglers.

    Thanks, it was a split second decision at the tire shop to have them mounted white walls out.
    Thanks

    Why white walls out? the trailer is white (and is staying that way) and I don't think it'd look as good with all black sidewalls.
