    Yea Jason mentioned the Falkens were heavy.. good to know. Already have the STTs though. Just waiting on the wheels. Might look into additional siping.

    ok cool
    yeah, if you're going to be in snow/wet/ice a lot i highly recommend siping... after that they were really good in those conditions. (better than my ST Max's, Maxxis Bighorns AND my original KO's)

    i had them a few tires ago. they treated me well. put the STTs on the FJC last year, so we'll have both trucks on them. i wanted to go back to the Trxus MT, but i couldn't find a good deal on them and i know the STTs will last longer.

    gone through a good selection on the truck so far. OEM Goodyears, KO2, Duratrac, MTR, STT, STT Pro, Trxus MT, KM3 and now back to STT Pro. and a winter with Yokohama Geolander G072 (looks like they are no longer making these)... we got the FJC with Nitto Trail grapplers on them, switched those out quickly to MTR and now they're on STT Pro.

    garbage if you have any winter... did great wheeling though. better than the Nittos though, which isn't saying much

    having them on the FJ was why we got a winter set to swap on

    I love the MTRs overall in all other situations....other than winter.

    I still think they are a stellar offroad tire.

    @SCSPerformance and @Toytec Lifts coming through huge with wheels and tires before our Thanksgiving trip.

    The FN Wheels treated me well for many years but with the Drifter color, the bronze finally had to go...

    How long you at? Mines been atleast 6 years if not more. Then I got a rock or something that manage to smash into the windshield below the crack. It all looks bad and I’m in no hurry since it’s not noticeable

    Looks like this windshield is only about a year old cracked... it's a baby compared to those!

    Seems like it's always cracked tho... big reason why I wait so long since it just gets cracked every year

    March 2021 will be 8 years, got a few chips from AK to Washington but surprisingly nothing too recent

    I guess I thought yours was way longer, must of been the previous one

    Here is mine. The big circle on the bottom is recent. The crack above is the one that’s been there forever. Also, I had a ding in the first 2 months owned it. Got it from a rock the first time I lived in CO back in 2006.

    Every time I replace mine it has a new crack in it within a few months. The FJ is even worse - the angle of the windshield makes for large craters instead of little chips and cracks. I blame our "road sand" (aka 3/4" gravel) on the highways for half the year. Is that the culprit in CO too?

    Yea pretty much... even with all the desert and forest roads, it's normally on the highways when something gets kicked up during the winter.
