I know what you mean, they watch our old trails pretty good these days. Yours looks a lot like my '95 now that I think about it. I bet those 4.88's make those 33's feel like spares eh?

And I just checked out your pics...I'm lookin to get those flares, gauges, and toolbox. Where'd you get all that at if I may ask? And how do you like those baby Swampers?

Here's my 3/4 ton -

its shitty but its w/e, just gotta know where to hide or a hidden way to get out lol...pretty much run without running. and yeah there pretty damn similar lol, def another nice truck man and CLEAN! n to be honest 488s on 33s really isnt bad, 3k in 3rd gear at 60 but in od shes at 2200@60 so not too bad...my biggest issue is catching traction...ill post the video on my photobucket of what cold *** streets n salt makes it do, hot out it hooks decent, lights em from a 25, and when second gear catches lays probably a good 10-20ft...def goin on 35s though, tried my buddies brand new km2's, little to no spin in first and just a healthy squeal in 2nd. but ive got some 28x10 stickies for when the whole street racing deal comes up in summer

as for the pillar pod, aem uego and trans temp i got them all through summit as well as the poly trans mount which they dont list for our trucks, (if ya need the pn ill get it for ya). flares was my drunken investment from 4wheelparts. toolbox i got off of my old truck, just an ultima tool box as for the interco's...honestly best tire ive ever had. hook damn good on the street, and when even heated theyre almost like drag radial compound, mtr's and my old procomps didnt have near the dry traction these do...rain theyre good, deep snow great and mud...absolutely tear! not to mention some tough *** sidewalls unlike my old procomps that i put a huge hole in, i did have mtr's like what you had, great tire except for in mud...i payed 300 for all 5 on rim, sold the rims and my old tires made that money back...only thing that sucks is the pricetag on 35s, looks like ill be spending 1300 bucks

I feel ya, I bought those 25% MTR's for 200 bucks. They were TERRIBLE off the street. I spent 300 a pop on my KM2's from 4WP, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I'm just looking to get something different when/IF these ever wear out. I've had them for almost 20,000 miles now and they don't show wear. It's crazy how tough these things are

**** man for 200 you cant beat that...there great in anything else but mud...thats their biggest downfall they dont clean at all...and all my buddys runnin km2's love em do great everywhere and last a LONG time. my buddys 35s i threw on felt like they had pretty good traction honestly id love to have the truxus mt's again but i dont want to pay the price when km2's are more reasonable and last longer...ive got 15k on em, got em with 1 and there about half tread, then again im not exactly to easy on my truck so thats my own fault

I originally wanted 35x12.50 LTB's, but they wouldn't last 20,000 miles with all the highway driving I do. I've yet to take these in some mud, but they work great in sand and snow. I'm impressed with how much better they are over the MTR's

i was originally gonna buy those but i thought about the wear factor then i got a steal on the truxus's then was like damn this is the best tire ive had. n since you havnt had em in mud...dude, they sling like a ****, clean really easy n just dig! at least with the kinda mud we got up here. a few of my buddies have em and have said they wont go to a different tire...as for sand ive never had my truck in it with any of the tires ive ever had, but hopefully this next summer ill be able to change that n if those km2's do better in sand than the mtrs im impressed! so many people used the old wranglers for sand and swore by em..thats pretty sick man
