I had the original Goodyear wranglers before the KM2's and they were damn good tires. They cleaned very well.

LTB's are on the list but only if I get another truck before next year, which I 100% definitely plan on doing. TSL radials are leading the pack right now though.

I think I'm going to get rims with less offset as well. My rims have so much offset that I can barely clear the 33's at full lock and that's with a 6" lift and 1 ton diesel torsion bars.

1 ton DIESEL 4x4 torsion bars

It don't look like much but it is definitely not an everyday 1/2 ton truck

Solid drivetrain IMO, just don't like the looks. The actual body is way too tall. Not the truck itself, just the body.

They, GM, and Ferd all came out with "new" body styles this year. Each one consisted of a new grill and that's it. So much for innovation

No fricking doubt this.

They're as tall as my truck and the frame is a good 8" lower.

With this Tahoe I am driving, I can barely slide all of the way underneath it and I wear a size 34. I cranked the torsion bars the other day and almost got stuck

I'll probably stick with the 33's because I have 3.73's and don't plan on re-gearing in the near future.

It spins the frick out of 33's and I love it

I'll take $20 oil changes over yours any day.

*Disclaimer* my next truck will be a 3/4 once I move out of the city.

Most all trucks nowadays are 10 year trucks. I mean if Rams are 10 years then Fords must be around 25.

I actually like the Tundras as long as its a double cab short bed. Have you seen the 2014? The interior is very nice, similar to a Ford, but the front end is absolutely hideous

Imma get one most likely. That or an F250. Just put a brush guard over that shite.

ETA-F$%k a dodge. They're shite. May have alot power but none of your windows, radio, ac, or wipers will work and your interior will look like shite.

Must've gotten some American designers to do that one.


Do manufacturers really not have anyone sitting there saying, "Hey guys, that looks stupid"?
