You will like the KM2s; quiter than the prev gen BFG MTs and they "rock" and "rule" on the Rubicon and Dusy trails.

Definately a nice improvement

I can't quite tell, is that an air dam under the bumper? If so, what's it made of and why'd you put it there?

I think that improves the look of that truck SO much. Love it, Looks great. I'm sure you'll have some good experience with those KM2's... I'm kind of wishing I'd gone with those too over my AT's. Maybe next time.

Is this the truck that's got a 350 in it??? I swear I've seen it more then a few times.

WOW. Amazing truck. The compact size and toughness of a 1st gen toyota...but not stuck with a gutless 4 cylinder. Did you narrow the Dana 60 or is it out of some narrow track vehicle?
