    Large Winter Tires

    KO2's are awesome. Duratracs are good for the first winter or two, but their sipes are only about 1/4 way through. Once it wears past the sipes, they suck.

    Gorgeous day today, although it was below freezing this morning. I've got to get some upgraded dampers on the way... The stock ones are just so, so bad. Anyway.

    Literally almost had to make that call lol Here's an excerpt about what happened I wrote for another forum. [Gets stuck in the mudhole that used to be a nice FSR] Oh well, not a huge deal, i'll just winch out of it. I climb gingerly to the side, grab a tree saver and a couple shackles, and...

    Went and did a bit of exploring today, this was a smooth FSR last year, until we had record spring runoff flooding that destroyed like 60% of govt. maintained fire roads. This is the aftermath: This was during the flooding: Literally this was an active haul road a lowered Mustang could...

    That's just kind of where it fit and looked good. Good point, however, we'll see just how tough these things are! In hindsight, probably not the best place lol

    Thanks for the kind words and advice, guys! On another note, I ordered the start of my aux lighting, a 25.5" NightRider LED bar. It's way, way overbuilt for use on a half ton, but whatever! It's the brand that the majority of heavy equipment and logging guys use on their equipment and hauling...

    Usually the truck just hauls the toys up to drop points, and I use it for exploring new trails and areas...

    Thanks guys, and I agree. This truck won't be a prerunner running Baja style courses. I just need a setup where I can comfortably go about 40-50mph without losing teeth in the process... So first off, forgive my possible dumb questions... I come primarily from the world of track mustangs, with...
