Overloading any tire will cause overheating and separation between the tread and carcass, this isn't a tire issue, it is an application issue. What does your camper, contents, and tongue weight of your trailer add up to? Most people severely underestimate the loads they place in their vehicles...

Jerry, I know that area of Utah well and winter there in now way compares to what you are going to be encountering. Be prepared to buy a whole different set of personal equipment. When you can, start learning alpine rope work, and snow and ice climbing. Wait till you're trying to rig a sling...

I grew up in AK, you aren't going to need limb risers. You are going to need block heaters and maybe an inline heater hose pre heater. A set of studded tires would be a nice addition once October rolls around. Expect to replace your windshield semi-annually too. Get a steel front bumper with...

Less to do with that than with Mitsubishi USA teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.

You guys make me miss my '89 Montero! I ran LT235/75R15 Springfield Safari AWRs on mine, I had a neighbor running 31-1050R15s on his but as I recall, his rubbed at full lock. Neither of us was lifted. If I ever see one for sale in decent shape, I'm buying it. I always wanted a Gen II...

Before our Mojave trip this Spring we bought an Igloo Super Tough Sportsman 72qt cooler. This cooler blew away our Coleman classic in its ability to retain cold. We still had 75% of the day one ice we packed on day three. Not bad performance, especially in 90 degree temperatures. This series...

My exact dilemma.

Cut the nose off and make it a trailer?

I'm running KM2s now and the Cooper S/T-Maxx is at the top of my list for the replacement set.

The X/T Maxx looks like the direction I'll be going soon. I'd call it an aggressive all-terrain, more so than the Dura-Trac. A co-worker has the Dura-tracs on her Dodge p/u. Probably the best application for them. The Dura-tracs just aren't aggressive enough for my needs.

Until the Hilux comes to these shores I'll give this a big yawn.

Yep! Save the extinguisher for the vehicle.

The most potent tool for fighting a small wildfire is a shovel, not a fire extinguisher.

I had an '89. Wish I still had it.

What you don't mention that might be useful is your tire size, type, load rating, and inflation, new and old. How big a lift? We're geometry correction brackets or similar used on the front? Another factor to consider, especially in a short wheelbase vehicle is whether your modifications have...

Whatever the product, whatever the regulation, if it is being introduced into commerce in the U.S. from foreign, contrary to law or regulation then it is being "smuggled", and 18USC545 applies.

Go back in this thread and re-read 18USC545. If a vehicle is ineligible for import because of a regulation, and you sham up the vehicle (false data plates, VIN, incorrect trim, parts, etc) or the import paperwork (lie about what year of manufacture it really is, or the ownership) to evade that...

I have them, and that is not the case.

That is awesome! I'm very jealous! If you don't have a lot of experience backing a trailer, especially a short one, I recommend getting to a vacant lot and getting a bunch of practice in.

No, but I've written more than a few.
