Keystone State Thread

Shit I need that ! I'm only 275lbs butt could use that along with sliders and whatever else we come up with!

 

Hmmmmm always need moar truck parts. But your 4 1/2hr from me

 

really? that's a shorter distance that what I'll drive if I come out to that meet. (which is looking good by the way)
No bitching out over drive distance!

 

True. If I had money for parts I'd probably be in.

 

At cost shouldn't be to bad........

 

True. But really the only thing I'd be interested in would be shackle flip and shock relocate. But I don't have nearly enough for the shocks. Haha

 

I wanted to get some lighting next but still need to armor up so I can hit some trails

 

Hmmmm I've got Toytech's 3-4" extended Bilstein 5100 rears sitting in my shed doing nothing! Only on my truck for 10 weeks.

 

Little off topic but, could use advice of fellow Pennsylvanians, maybe bucks county Tacoma's even better a few months ago I moved into bucks county PA. ( first winter up north ) I have been wondering what tire I could get to replace my dunlops I want something that I can leave on all year and not have to worry about the snow or rain, my truck is mostly highway driven with maybe only 5 to 10 percent of the time off road. I have seen a lot of cooper AT3's up here but I have been told a/t's are not too good in the snow so I was leaning toward the cooper A/TW. Any advice is appreciated!

 

I live just outside Quakertown and drive into NJ, MD, VA, WV,NY upstate all year long. 1200 miles for short week 2000 miles for a crazy week. I used 20 plus sets of the old BFG KO's just got my first set of BFG KO 2's they are extreme snow rated and I'm told the new compound will last 25% longer than my old tried and true! At least read up on them !

 

The ATW is going to be a little bit better on wet/snow while the AT3 is going to be a little better offroad basically. I have AT3s and have had no problems with them in the little bit of driving I do in the winter (small town is nice sometimes.)

Before I got my AT3s (ATW didnt exist at the time) the only other tire I was considering was Hankook Dynapro ATM.

Honestly any of them will be a good option.

 

Honestly any of them aren't good! The Hankooks are made poorly and don't wear as long as many competitors! ATW Coopers rate very good in snow AT3 Coopers good all around tire not great in snow. Do a little reading online about testing done! I've only got just over 2,000,000 miles driving in SUV's and Trucks in my life so I probably don't know much.

 

If he's not accustomed to winter driving he's probably best off with a set of ATWs.

 

I'm using dueller revo/2s to great effect in the snow. This is the 3rd set, I get about 2 years (40k miles) out of a set

 

40K is pretty good! I was only getting 35k out of my BFG KO's. I have demo fasteners and tools I sell every day about 500-750 lbs and drive 70,000 a year.

 

I just got the new KO2's and I'm pretty excited to have them in their first snow.

 

Noted, will look into them. Thanks

 

If you're mostly on hard surfaces, Michelin MS/2. Quiet on the highway, great traction in dry/wet conditions, sufficient traction in snow especially w/4wd.

 

Haha. Nah no thanks. I'm looking at Kings 2.0x12" travel remote resi shocks. Or fox 2.0x12 smooth. Btw I have Goodyear wrangler MTRs. Kinda worried how they'll do in the snow. I've heard different things about them and snow.

 

My AT3s were great in the snow. The Duratracs I have on th truck now have ben serving me well in the snow as well
