    I remember seeing your post of the tires, but I did not think you would be able to install them in that truck. Holy shit...they are really huge LOL

    Your D60 has now officially become a D35 :D

    Was it it easy fitting them in? Still trying to wrap my head around how in the world you had the clearance to fit such gigantic tires. That's why I first I thought it was a photoshop you created to see how the truck might look with them.

    Also...how heavy are they!!

    They are around 450#'s a piece. The truck got cut a lot to clear the 42's at full flex which it still doesn't 100% do

    using a wheel dolly on flat surface isn't to bad. I did not have that so i used ice and kicked them into place.

    Always have a great time there, it's only an hour away, never ever crowded traction that surpasses Utah. Here's another vid of an obstacle I've had to skip in my 4runner but looking forward to taking the taco through it. I've got a lots of videos from that place.


    Thanks on the rigs..Are you going to AZ rocks this year? I've been rolling it around lately, I want to get a couple things done to the truck first.
