"Wheeler's Anonymous"

Thanks. My buddy and I have done this trail tons of times. I will cast my vote for a date and look forward to meeting some of the awesome people I have had contact here with.

 

This is one of my favorite shots of my truck from there.

 

awesome shot! Last two times I was at Rowher were right after a day or two of rain and I still couldn't find any mud

 

Haha ya water just sits on top of hard clay there. Hard to find mud always a big pit by first staging area were it starts going up

 

Forgot to ask you. Did u notice any difference in handling with the taller tires?

 

that looks fucken dope ...are you 4x4 ?

 

Rowher Flats is so awsome after the rain!! Always a huge mud pit at first staging area when you come in off Sierra and if you go right past staging area and make a left that will take you to the rest of the big puddles. And they can get pretty big being at the base of the canyon.

 

Im gonna order 265 75 16 from my stock 265 70 16 but wanted to make sure i am making the right decision. Has anyone notice handling difference on hwy with the taller tires? MPG loss? Ect? Thanks guys.

 

My suggestion would be save up some more money and buy a lift so you can get 285s.

 

Thanks. That trip was a long time ago after I got the wheel and tires. The truck was stock back then.

My wife was REALLY mad I bought the truck home in that muddy condition.

 

You will be fine.. Unless you decide to lift then you will want tires again

 

My future plans are a mild 2 to 3 inch lift so i should be fine with 265s. Plus i dont to deal with rubbing... thanks for the inputs guys.

 

What kind of tires are you going to get?

 

New Falken wildpeak AT3W.

 

Truck feels a little heavier if though I went with the P rate tires to save some weight. Also, it feels more planted to the ground solid feel. A tad bit longer braking distance too. Over all I'm very pleased with the out come. FYI tires do rub on full lock turns ,so I have to remove my front flaps which I have yet to do.
I would go with the 265/75 if I where you looks better and I think it would work with your future lift.

 

Thanks!! already ordered it. too bad it won't arrive in time for my road trip to seattle... I might just buy another set local to me... anyone be interested in a set of new Wildpeaks if I can't return them for full refund?

 

Bravo on your decision. I'm at 265 now and have really enjoyed them. Never an issue with rubbing (at stock suspension) and have stayed away from needing spacers. However, Cleghorn was my first run since installing my kings with the BAMF relocation kit for my rear 12" shocks using stock wheels. Since it was my tuning run I didn't go buck nasty but I did notice some rub onto my shock body and so it looks like I need to buy some wheels with a better backspace which sucks because that takes duckets I could have used for more practical mods. Nevertheless, I'm going to drop down to a 16" wheel from 17" so I can go pizza cutters: 255/85/16. However, as always, each of us should be gearing our build toward our personal needs. I'm a so-cal dominant mid-travel expo rig and see tall and skinny fitting my needs more.
