My tires have around 30k, so a little better than 50% tread left.

 

OK, this more to your liking?

 

KO2?

 

ST-MAXX Coopers. They're at 60%-ish

 

I'm glad I'm a ways away from having to face the tire decision. Since the mild lift "you need bigger", but I really don't. So, it will be a fun pick somewhere down the road. I'm glad you all are so young, because 7 years from now, I will have to replace them anyway! 6K miles in 2 years? Going to take me a while!

 

I only "need" it for wheeling performance, but the current set I needed because my last set of tires were dry rotten and down to the last 10% of tread. In my opinion, with the dry rot, they were unsafe for my family, so I thought,"why not go up a size without impacting drivability?" So skinny 33s with snow rating for driving in the mountains of Colorado at my dad's house.

 

Indeed! Good, and so many choices. I know I won't rock, or mud on purpose, and what I have is currently good for beach or trails, or some hills like we saw on the trail (which were similar to the up the mountain at HF). LBR is not going to get on stuff I feel will break her, but I will continue to try to improve (and protect) for what I want to do overall!

 

(That translates as OLD MAN will be looking for your advice!)

 

Yeah, I wouldn't have got these tires if I realised they were limiting me on my capabilities on the "crazy" rocks lol.

there are far better sources, if that was directed at me, Kurt.

 

Not just you Josh - all of you are great sources of info, and you will still be young enough to know what's going on when I need my tires and wheels in 6 years. Assuming, I have not been "assimilated" before then.....

 

*insert Borg meme* you will be assimilated

 

You should look at Fred’s rig! Mild lift, tall skinny, stock wheels and no cab mount chop. He’s off visiting far away trails with ease and decent fuel mileage.

 

Assimilation still in process

 

TW bug bites pretty hard.

 

I got him mixed up with another truck, but now I think I know what pic to look for.

 

Resistance, is "futile". But I still try!

 

Same color as mine, likes to cook at c&c

 

I realized after his vacation posts - there was a quicksand by him last time he cooked. Have already said I would go tall and skinny if needed, because I am not going to crawl.
Was really wondering about your gears, but not enough input tonight. I inherited Matts locker and rears - no change but mileage and locker - why would you need "fancy" lockers if you chose that. Same ratio makes sense, but I truly don't know. Seems like it would matter only when you turn 4WD on - but I have no 4WD drivetrain experience, so don't bother to explain anything. It will come up.

 

It mashes more sense when in 4x4, without lockers, in regular 4x4 if all your wheelsdon't have traction, only two are spinning. If you have only a rear locker (like TRD Off-road models like mine) then the rear does are locked plus 1 spinning front so 3 wheel drive. If you can lock the fronts and rear, all 4 tires get power instead of 1 or 2 or 3 spinning. It forces Tires with traction to move the vehicle.

Hope that's clear enough.
