    235/85/16? Let's see them

    2012 Tacoma ORDC Sporting Some New 235/85R16's Just got these put on yesterday. They're a set of Cooper's ST MAXX tires mounted on painted stock rims. The tires are a slight bit noisier than stock at 75mph, but still very comfortable. My guess is anyone else wouldn't even notice the noise...

    Regearing a 2010 JKUR

    More Info Please I didn't either until I had to stop every 200 miles for fuel! :Wow1: :) Couldn't agree more. Back to ccfdal's (the OP) original question regarding gearing while pulling his trailer. Where do you plan on traveling and how far away from home are your trips going to take...

    Regearing a 2010 JKUR

    2011 Rubicon- Pretty funny Jimbo. :) The year of manufacture was 2011 not the weight. When I reread my post it was a little confusing. :elkgrin:

    Regearing a 2010 JKUR

    Jeep Regearing and Gas Mileage Wow! Increase weight, add larger tires, regear AND gas mileage improves?! That hasn't been my experience. My Jeep has also gained some weight from the mods....probably north of 6,000lbs. My Jeep started out as a 2011 JKUR. I was getting about 15 mpg before...

    Sierra4x4trailers

    I also have no dog in this fight. Just curious, has Sierra 4x4 temporarily stopped taking orders, until he gets caught up, or is he continuing to process orders/deposits? I hope the forum admin's would give some thought before deleting this thread. If the allegations are true, the thread...

    Garmin Base Camp- Create Route- follow trail or road?

    What is the difference between Base Camp and Mapsource? Will Mapsource export the route into a format that is importable (is that really a word?) into my Oregon 400 and Nuvi 50?

    Garmin Base Camp- Create Route- follow trail or road?

    Great info Thanks for the information. The route I have planned is to take Ophir pass from Silverton, to 145, and work my way south of the needles district, eventually tieing into Lockhart basin and into Moab from there. Should be fun. I just wasn't looking forward to putting all those...

    Garmin Base Camp- Create Route- follow trail or road?

    I am planning a trip from Silverton, Co to Moab, UT. I've been studying the Delorme Gazeteer and have found the combination of roads and trails to get me from Silverton to Moab. I'd like to create a route in Garmin Base Camp to make the navigation on the trail easier. In Garmin's Base Camp I...

    2012 Expedition Tacoma Build in Progress

    255's- gas mileage and speedo/odometer correction I also have a '12 that is in the process of being built up. I'm curious how the 255's have affected your gas mileage. How have you corrected the speedo and odometer for the larger tire size? Rig looks good. I like that front bumper. I went...
