You're running 285's right now aren't you?

 

Ya shouldn't be a big difference. My revolution 2s now are only 46lbs and the new 255s are 45. They are 10 ply too so should be good for whatever

 

Mine are 68 pounds a piece

 

With the wheel?! That's heavy.


I went from 285 BFG A/T @56lbs each to 265 Duratrac @45lbs and didn't see a difference in performance or mpg. (Both still shitty haha)

 

Nah, without the rim. I haven't weighed it with the rim!

 

Why so heavy? Loaded tires like on a tractor?

 

Yeah, they're full of lead!

 

Calcium

 

Calcium doesn't work as well

 

Lead poisons you. Haha

 

Everything in moderation, my son

 

Hey there ladies and gents!

I am semi new to TW; I came here a lot over the past while lurking for helpful tips on maintenance and repairs, and of course ideas on what I feel like doing next to the truck!

I drive a 2010 Magnetic gray metallic sr5, with a 4.0l v6, 6 speed manual and love it! I bought it with a little under 50k kms (June of 2013) and right now it have 92k and change) I came from growing up driving a standard vehicle so that was a big point in buying this one.

I do a little bit of wheeling with it on the trails up my way (Beaver Bank), but it is my DD so I don't plan on doing anything crazy as I want it to last and look half decent haha (first trail ride I took it on, I put a 1/4" wide scratch down the whole right side of the truck, front to back haha)

I put a hitch on it so I can haul around mine and a buddies ATV when getting to and from some of the farther trails in NS. But with that, I haven't had an ATV to long and don't know to many trails here. (I have an 07 Sportsman 500)

Some other things that are done to it now:
- BHLM
- Mesh front grille
- De-badged
- Fog-lights
- Back-Rack w/ added Leds for back-up lights

Most up to date pictures are on my phone, so these are of how she somewhat sits now. ( I plasti-dipped the Toyota on the tailgate myself, but it eventually started to peel so it has been removed )

 

Welcome. The scratches get easier trust me. I put my first scratches on my truck a few weeks ago now its not as bad if i get them(truck has a lot now actually).

I like the color choice btw

 

I scratch my truck like its my job

 

Someone sell me there DCSB! NOW!

 

Ill sell you mine if you pay whats left on my loan and give me your truck.

 

Those O'Regan's stickers come off real easy with a heat gun!

 

If they had a 6 speed i would get one from them haha

Spotted at the local toyota dealer... it really says something when the dealers dont even use their own trucks to plow with. I know, sure, oregans has a chev lot and all, but still...

 

Kempt Rd Toyota has had that old chev forever. They don't want to waste a good truck on plow duty. Haha
