Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

Awesome rigs. I’m up in Oregon with the girlfriend visiting her family. Wish I brought my truck and we would have taken the scenic route with you guys. Have a safe trip!

 

Because of the left ear? According to the lady I've been talking to from rescue organization her ear was like that since she was a pup.

But I hear ya, Poe has had a couple ear infections too. Gotta keep those open bat ears clean.

 

Yeah I ddecided to swap out the u joint before I ship the diff to the east coast. Parts wont get hear till Wednesday, guess I get to out the rear end back together tomorrow.

Plus side is all this practice at pulling the rear 3rd I'm getting. Getting pretty fast at it.

 

I need to swap mine out soon too, dreading it since last time I accidentally snipped the axle O ring and just threw some RTV in there to seal instead (with the O ring), so I bought a replacement O ring for this time but then realized I have to pull the entire wheel/axle out to get the O ring on lol. Which means brake lines. And I hate bleeding brakes.

 

Thank you! Maybe one of these days we can setup a trip! Safe travels back home!!!

 

Sick fuck.

 

I may have snipped my o ring too, need to take a closer look tomorrow.

Should there be any grease at the end of the axle?

 

A little lube never hurt

 

Keep going I’m almost there.

time for new tires. 285 or 295. ko2. st maxx. nitto rg. hankook mt. at3 xlt. toyo at2. geolander g003. any others?

looking for norcal real world experience/feeback?

 

That was my wife’s last name before we married(pronounced Wong).

 

I've had the toyo at2s in 285s for about 2 years now. No complaints. They've been awesome and I've never not had traction when I needed it. Except in the snow at UTC when some jackass on 40s dug a pit for me. But that's a pretty extreme situation that I'm not sure any tire would have prevailed in.

 

Ko2s have done me good so far, ive only got about 3000 miles on them in the year or so that ive had them and my fire road exploring probably hasnt really put them through the ringer.

Will eventually be going KM3's when im ready to step up to 285's

 

Idk if its been you're experience, but I've heard the ko2s wear quickly for an AT tire. That's why I went a different route. I've got well over 30k on my at2s and could get away with another year on them I imagine. But I dont want more than one more snow season on them

 

ive got 30k on my ko2's and liked them in rock and snow, edit: sand too. not so much in mud and rain. but the wear has been great imo... looking for something better if possible.

 

Well... i bought my truck last september and immediately had some Ko2s put on (because, wtf did i know lol)
like i said ive only gotten about 3000 miles on the truck since i bought it over a year ago, i fully expect me to replace those tires/wheels before i even get near half tread on them, so i will probably never know how they wear lol

I thought the 265's would look too small for a M/T (im strange?) so i went with the Ko2s. 90% will be getting a M/T for my 285s tho (KM3s being at the top of what may be my misguided list)
