    Mud TIRES: BFGoodrich KM2, Goodyear MTR Kevlar, or Swamper SSR

    There could be something to that.........:) The only person I've heard bad mouth KM2's is me, and that's strictly because I wish they had a stronger sidewall.......but of all the tires out there I have to choose from, they're still hands down the best choice for my truck...... Here's how my...

    Mud TIRES: BFGoodrich KM2, Goodyear MTR Kevlar, or Swamper SSR

    They took a lot of weight to balance, some upwards of 20 ozs., on the same wheels I just removed the exact same size KM2 (37"x12.50"x17") off that had been running smooth as silk with no weight for almost a year. Even with weight they shook. On the road, they started out as quiet as the KM2's...

    MTR or KM2

    I wouldn't trade four sets of MT/R's w/ Kevlar for my KM2's. I hated those d*mn tires.....KM2's blow them away in all aspects on & off road on my truck.

    Mud TIRES: BFGoodrich KM2, Goodyear MTR Kevlar, or Swamper SSR

    KM2's get my vote. Might also want to take a look at Toyo Open Country M/T's and Cooper STT's? I absolutely hated my MT/R's w/ Kevlar. My current 40" KM2's are smooth up to 80 MPH and have never had balancing weights on the wheels. They do great in the rain, snow, mud, rock, etc. My only...

    Windshield wipers

    I kept my second (replacement) Scrublades on for about two weeks until I couldn't handle the streaking anymore......I'm back to cheap old auto parts store blades and happy with them..........

    Leaf Packs

    Re Gear Time. Have A Few Questions

    This, but first break the gears in properly - After install is complete, drive about 30 minutes and then stop and let the diffs completely cool - then 500 miles with no towing and change the fluid. I'm personally not a fan of synthetic diff fluid, it's really thin - ask somebody like Dynatrac...

    Where would be the ultimate location for axles/transfer case/transmission vents ?

    I have my transmission, transfer case, & steering reservoir routed up to the firewall, front diff is up at the top of the inner fender under the hood, rear diff is up inside the upper bed rail. Currently using these Summit Racing breather vents - http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-E730310...

    What kind of headlight bulbs do you use?

    Are you running their X-treme Power bulbs? I'm curious as to how they compare to my current Silverstar Ultra's.

    Winch Fairlead Poll

    That's waht I need to know - thanks! If I'm in a pinch where I have to tie the rope I'm not really worried about it fitting back through my fairlead - that's what that big ugly stinger on the front works well for.....winding winch rope around in an emergency :sombrero:!

    Winch Fairlead Poll

    I do have one question, what about field repairs? Can a repair knot be used in this style rope? It seems like it wouldn't be too much fun with the woven covering on it, but then of course.......maybe that's the point - field repairs are a thing of the past since this rope has a superior load...

    Winch Safety Switch Question

    I bought mine at a local marine store (believe it was West Marine), been working like a champ for years now. I mounted mine right behind my primary battery (you can kind of see the red switch in this pic) I've heard too many horror stories over the years of solenoids sticking and vehicles...

    What kind of headlight bulbs do you use?

    EDIT: oops, meant I'm current running the Sylvania Silverstar Ultras and really like them (a lot brighter than stock and also very white,....I hate blue light for some reason) - http://www.sylvania.com/ConsumerProducts/AutomotiveLighting/LampReplacementGuide/AutoLRG-Results.htm But once they...

    Petersons Ultimate Adventure Tundra

    Just installed a new Master-Pull 5/16" x 100' XD rope and fairlead, this rope feels tough as hell and will hopefully hold up better than the Viking did......we shall see -
