    Got them with about 22k on the truck now im at 50,800. They got some tread left but not alot, probably be replacing them before I go off to college. I want to pay for them but my Dad wants to pay for them

    Love the BFG A/T to death, but might be needing a lighter tire cause ill be driving 9 hours to Alabama a couple times a year back and forward from frisco to bama so I need a tire that can handle off road but more for on road.

    I was thinking of the Michelins LTX or Hankook Dynapro Atm, BFGoodrich Rugged Terrains not the rugged fails, and another set of BFG A/T

    I'll grab my jack and 4-way; be right over. :D

    If the sliders don't work out I'll do something different. As for the overall length - they are only two inches farther out than would of been needed to mount to my Tacoma. While I understand the leverage is greater when you supply a longer lever - I'm going to bet that two inches doesn't cause the end of my world. If it breaks - I'll do it differently next time. Wheeling is breaking shit, right?

    Thats why I love the BFG A/T, they look amazing. They probably shoulda last longer but I got them when I was 16 just got my license...I liked to burn rubber to say the least :eek:

    Hey guys I de badged my truck today and everything looks good and the paint isnt damaged...no severe scratching either! but I can still see where the letters were at if I look close enough or at the right angle...yall think its because the paint is less faded?

    Most likely. A couple of guys did the clay bar cleaning after debadging to blend the areas in better into the "clean" of the truck.




    Alright guys - see y'all tomorrow.

    You don't want to know...
    How do you guys do a burn out? I have tried with my new truck and can't get the tires to break.
    I wonder if it has to do with braking system on the off roads? Or maybe its because I'm trying on very grippy concrete, not asphalt.

    seeing that they both have the same fuel efficeincy rating im guessing they are about the same

    your running a 3" lift. you can fit 285s which i think yours are

    x2. or press on the brake and hit the gas til the rear tires start to spin. or hold the brake hard build up the revs and let off.

    Quit the debate, and get some Goodyear Wrangler MTR's with Kevlar.

    I'll probably be needing some new ones near the 1st of the year. Trying to decide if I wanna stay with the same brand or move over to KM2's. By then, this could no longer be my DD, and then I should get something else. Either way; I'll probably get 35's, then make them fit.
