    :eek: Dude.... My 2wd PreRunner on 31s did a deeper puddle than that! (and no, I didn't get stuck. MOMENTUM, BABY :p) lowlz

    To be honest, I would be VERY hesitant to even attempt a steep climb (like this one I did 2 weeks ago) with your truck. It is awesome for looks...... and maybe a good mud truck if you ditched the A/Ts and got some bigger meats. But forget the rockcrawling/real trails. :eek: But hey, mad props for doing all the work yourself, man!! Especially the diffs. I re-geared both of mine as well, and it can be tedious/frustrating work to get them bombproof! :thumbsup:

    Hellz yeah, man! SICK video! Well done! :thumbsup:
    Momentum IS gonna get tons of rigs thru nasty shuff! But I stopped in it, got out to take a pic, let it sink a little bit in the mud, and then get out! I thought I was stuck for a second, so I started to hook up and got out my hi-lift, but then decided to just rally out (I'll try to get a video up that the gf took)! I def want to put more meaty tires on, but that's gonna have to wait 'til the 37's upgrade. And thanks (and props to you as well), re-gearing is a big payoff once off-road! :D

    What 37s you gonna run?? I'd reccomend the the Dick Cepek Mountaincat 37x12.5 or the cooper discoverer STT 37x12.5... both are load range D i believe. The nitto trail grappler aint bad either but its a 10ply so tougher side walls with more weight. $1200 installed at Americas Tire BTW

    Thanks! And good to hear on the 37s. :cool: Gonna look sweeeet!
    x2 on Cooper Discoverer STTs but I vote heck no on the Trail Grappler.... (They look cool but those are some har-core mall-crawler meats!!!! and way to heavy. hahahaha) BFGs are very nice as well. 3 ply sidewall is great for the rocks, and they're some of the lightest off-road tires on the market!! And with our running big tires on IFS you have to stay as light as possible.

    Def wanna stay as light as possible since they're already getting stupid heavy compared to the lil ol' stock 31x9.50's! ha ha But I do love my AT T/A KO's just due to how well they perform when aired way down, and how quiet they are when making long highway trips! But the GoodYear MT-R is an EFFING SICK tire!!! Sidewall made of Kevlar (bulletproof) and super off-road aggressive! :D Agree???

    Yeah they are heavy as hell just like the toyo MT!!

    The MTRs aren't bad at all!!
    Ideal if you would like to stay around 65-70lbs per tire at a 35" range which is where im going. Alot of people ask why do i care about weight. But 10lbs per tire's alot!

    Get aluminum rims.. Tire weight makes a big difference. But at least if you have a heavy set (like me 135# each) That's where you want weight.
