New Mexico Owners BS Thread

My truck is the only vehicle I own as well. And I gotta say one more thing, The KM2s are extremely quiet on the road for an M/T! The harmonics are way better then Goodyear MTRs...

 

Duratrcas are pretty good on the road, from what I hear. The only complaint I've heard is that they have a tandancy to feel "floaty" at highway speeds due to the light weight sidewalls. Maybe the guys here with Duratracs can add more inout on that....

 

Anyone have any experience with the Dick Cepek FC IIs?

 

I'm liking the hankook dynapro atm's quite a bit. They performed as well as you would expect for an AT in the colorado mud but i havent had a chance to try them out in snow. The price is the best part about them though.

 

I have the Duratracs on a '11 Chevy 1500 and I've put about 20,000 miles on two ou of four tires and it's great for a DD that sees mostly highway (even though most of my miles are dirt, gravel, mud, and snow with some asphalt mixed in). I just gotta watch the sidewalls. Not much floating with mine considering its an LEO vehicle.

 

Oh look, new clutch kit:

 

Need some thoughts, opinions or just plain commentary. Getting my taco a bit more trailworthy. Looking at having Ghost and Cloudy do a spare tire/hilift mount but going to need something by the Sep trail run. I got stuff right now that would work but require drilling holes in the bed.





So... is it worth drilling holes for a temporary fix?

 

true that, wouldnt want to arm wrastle you. you could probly pick up a smart car. have you ever tried?

welcome! what are the plans for it? that would make a sweet little 5-lug long travel rig, super light weight with the 4 banger

 

I typically don't date smart cars since I'm in a long term relationship with my taco but I could work on some good lines.

 

Oh, and look, can finally level and take the lean out:

 

yea dont wanna cheat on the taco

nice! do you have a link to where you got these?

 

The 5mm is an actual OME part that they started supplying because of the complaints about the lean. It sits at the bottom of the coil on the strut on the driver side to take out the lean. I got two just in case. If I don't need the other, I'd be glad to share. Don't know when I'm getting it installed though.

The 10mm are top plate spacers. Extra long top plate bolts are supplied. Website says they'll give 1/2"-5/8" of lift. Should get me close to level. I measure about an inch difference front to rear. I'll be happy with wherever it gets to as long as it doesn't end up nose up/ass down.

 

Although, I'm guessing I'm going to need to go to the 882s when I get me a plate bumper for the front.

 

x2!! I loved the ATMs..... Plenty od diping for good wet/snow traction and just a good all-around tire! You can't beat the price... Ride great too.

They look sick. Best if you're a desert racer cause they're made for the sand!!

Nice! Very worthwhile mod...

 

oh schweet thanks. are you gonna go to a shop to get the 5mm installed!!??

i like a little bro lean... but then again i rock the fo-hawk and Nikes so i guess im a bro

 

super ghey

 

S-E-X-X-Y:

 

Plate bumpers look better IMO as well. Plan on getting an ARB, I was going to get a relentless, but they look like shit on the 2012s.

 

FTW

 

I think 1st gens look better with tube, 2nd gens look better with a plate bumper provided that it is low profile and not a massive bubba lip like the ARB.
