    DCSB 12 slightly lifted Tacoma
    Ripped off all four mudflaps. Scratches all down both sides 6112’s up front on 3rd notch 5100’s in back with Toytech 1” block Skids & sliders from SOS Concepts I got rid of the 1” block and put on Wheelers 1 1/2” progressive AAL. SPC UCA. Be sure your standing on the drivers side when reading the instructions! I swapped sides so many times that I can swap UCA’s in 15 minutes. I put in the 3/4” spacer to eliminate the Taco Lean, and just got my 4th alignment. Traded the OEM rims for 17” Sport rims and a bora bora 1” spacer. I got my Firestone 285/70/17 MT2’s. Pelfreybilt gas tank skid and hi-lift jack should be here Friday. Looking at bumpers, but I think they will wait for next year. So far I’m happy with my build. I’ve done it all myself, leading to a lot of cussing and frustration, but it’s all mine.
    Reading your comment and trying to squash the bug that somehow managed to get between the screen protector and screen of my phone,,,,,,

    I bet I’m not the first to be fooled,,,,, I hope. :smash:

    Anyone notice how bad the wet traction is with Ko2 tires? Any kind of wet surface, the wheels just want to spin.

    I once obsessed over Ko2's but decided on these: Ohtsu AT4000, 265/65/17 $108 each....yup, I took a chance on a "cheap" AT tire and found that they are not cheaply made at all. Japanese build quality although they are manufactured in Thailand. So far I got 1500 miles on them (I know, still new) They balanced great and are still in balance, good in the rain, good traction on light off-roading, and very quiet. Good bang for the buck.[​IMG]

    MTRs are most likely my next tire. They seem to hold up to abuse great and are good on the road and rocks. They're just a bit pricey.

    MTRs have been through hell and back and have never let me down...neither has my Jeep.

    You mean they spin on a unweighted back end? Not any more than other tires...

    I have 265/75/16 I tow and haul rocks sometimes, so I went with E’s. Not bad, even offroad while empty.
