    Tacovendor,
    Have you had any experience with ameraguard? Do know if you can color match the rhino liner to the color of the truck?

    Thanks
    J

    Here is the link for Cruiser Outfitters, it's the best one but it is for a 6, I had to fab the hose into the airbox and remove the oem seal from the fender well to the airbox and connect the hose to the airbox with PVC pipe. then seal around the pipe and airbox with silicone.

    Hey cris I'm glad to see you're back on pizza cutters!

    Have you had any experience with them in snow? I've heard bfg km2s aren't the best in snow?

    Everyone has an opinion on snow tires, her's my take. First of all yes it does snow in Southern California! Snow conditions differ by geographical location, wet or powder, how much ice is under it etc. My experience with my KM2's is last winter I was in close to 3 feet of wet base with powder top and they worked great. I did get stuck but it wasn't the tires but not having a locking diff at the time. Again the "Pizza Cutters" are my favorite tire for what I do, and living only 40 minutes from the desert and driving in mountian roads I have to have a tire that works in all conditions.

    Thanks for the info. I currently have 265/70/17 duratracs and not only do I not trust the tires (after 2 flats in one day) but I also hate the size. I've been trying to decide between 285s or 255s. Would you say the 255s would be better for gas mileage than the 285s? Better acceleration and a taller tire? Less rotational weight?

    I've also been trying to decide if I actually need mt's or if at's would be good enough and more fuel efficient. Sucks having a long commute and travel a lot but also want good on and offroad performance.
