For what this is worth, I have broken up this build into stages of what I eventually think I might do with it. This is now the end of stage two of a possible four for me. Stage three will possibly involve a normally aspirated and running cruise control and A/C equipped 3.4 swap. Stage 4 would be the possibility of one day considering a SAS for it, but not ever running anything larger than 33's. For now, I plan on just enjoying what I have put together and throwing funds towards my higher education and little girl that's on the way.

I gotta say this rig has come a loooonnngg way in the last year - back in October '08 when I saw it, it was an everyday, but clean, 2wd 3.0 which probably wouldn't get much of a second glance from most of us - excellent job on the build -up

. . . . if I make it back out that way, we'll have to do a side-by-side test of 33x10.5 AT's vs 33x10.5 KM2's

Almost as long as the bank statement is.. $$$

ROFL+LMAO..

I forgot my thread goes up higher now into the stickies. I freaked for a second forgetting where it was.


Funny you'd bring those two specific models up, I have actually been considering the KM's in a 32". I am still on the fence over 33's. Basically, I just don't want to get 4.88's just yet.

As for the TA-KO's, I love how they've held up and worked. Only thing I don't like is they're wearing out quicker than I figured, but again, what else should I expect from what i put them through.

Also, thanks for the "Props-Yo!".
