Wanted to give an update on this - we're here in South Sudan for another two weeks; I should be back in the States on August 9th and will contact you (Rovertrader) over that weekend or on Monday, August 12th to get these on their way to you. Apologies for the delay. From not-very-good wifi at...

Travel a ton internationally (45 international flights per year), but carry a 1911 in every situation that allows/warrants it. Have had many 1911's (4", 5", long slide, race guns, .38s, etc.) and I'd say "carry what you know"... if you're a Glock person, carry a Glock. If you're a 1911 person...

I've owned various AR's for years but, for some reason, I always end up taking the FAL over the AR. In the end, I've probably fired twice as many rounds from my FAL (a 16" barrel DSA SA58 metric rifle built on their Steyr machinery about ten years ago) than from all my AR's combined. And...

Wouldn't literally trust my life to it in Africa if it weren't reliable. Had a normally-aspirated FJ Cruiser with the 4.0L 1GR-FE, now have a Taco with the supercharged 4.0L 1GR-FE. Great trucks, bulletproof reliability.

To clarify, this is simply for on-board air, not instead of a spare. I always carry a 36" spare (to match the other tires), but it isn't in the stock location, so that location is empty/available.

Curious why no manufacturer seems to build this. Seems like a no-brainer since many have empty space there and would rather have a tank than a larger or heavy duty cycle compressor. But I figure there must be a reason this isn't on the market... or maybe I just don't know about it. Wouldn't...

A pic on Lake Shore Drive in Chicago before being shipped back to the Continent. The last time you'll see her wearing KM2's.

Likely an MoD Jankel conversion used in South Sudan. The Brits seemed to bring down a whole bunch of non-white LCs for some reason... probably just brought whatever LHD units they had in inventory.

Will definitely be in the States around this time next year and looking forward to meeting everyone!

Here are recent pics (taken yesterday) of the tires. As soon as I get back to the States I'll have them dismounted and headed toward Rovertrader (or if Rovertrader doesn't want them, then tank87 and if tank87 doesn't want them, then dreammachine). Tread depth (about the same on all tires, this...

Thanks James/tank87... you're first in line behind Rovertrader. :)

Grille/lights facelift looks hot.

We'll be in Mali next week... we'll be sure to wave if we see a white 200. :)

Given that the Michelin XZL is more than twice that if bought new ($600-$800 per tire in 255/100R16), I'd question why you're wanting to manufacture these or thinking you can do it at a reasonable price. There is already a firm in China that makes a copy of the XZL that has most of the...

Perfect. Thanks, Dale - your name's on them, so to speak. I'll reach out in July as soon as I'm back in the States and we can arrange payment/shipping at that time. Sorry I can't ship them sooner! :( But I promise I'll ship them ASAP once I get back to the States in July! :)

Tires have only been used for 3,000 miles, nearly all of it on soft dirt roads. Tires look nearly brand new. Have been used for travel from point A to point B, not for rock crawling, etc. and no sidewall damage or punctures. $650 for five tires. Notes: Wheels are not included. Buyer must...

Running 4.88 gears on a 2012 Tacoma 4WD 6SPD 4.0 S/C with 36.5" diameter (actual diameter) tires. I'd say I'm pretty satisfied with it... but I'm never at the speeds (50+ mph) you guys are often at.

Funny you mention the KM2 in 255/85R16; it's what I'm running currently. It performs well, but I prefer the Michelins for a bunch of reasons. I am actually ordering them to be sent to the US, if you're interested. See my post in fireside chat.

They work even on 80's here in Uganda that have not been serviced since they day they left Japan. Wonderful feature.
