I did not get them with the Kedge Grip option. I also have not done any hardcore off-roading with them. I took the truck out to a spot near my house a couple times and it did ok in some mud. I am sure it will be fine on most trails just not sure about rock climbing or deep mud.

Will the spare fit if I have a '98 with stock tow hitch? I could not fit mine in unless I am doing something wrong.

Nice write up! How long was the entire process?

I now have about 2500 miles on the tires and they seem to be holding up great. Good handling and road noise is not a problem. I did realize that I cannot fit this size in the oem spare tire carrier. Unless I am doing something wrong.

How much for the rack from CVJ?

If you like the truck and it runs and drives good that's a very fair price. That condition is WAY nicer than one of mine I just sold for $3100. It had over 300K miles with bad tires and no maintenance records.

Thanks. Defender not getting replaced just yet. :)

I am in Spring, TX (just north of Houston).

Was hoping to keep this one for a long time but we need something with more power to tow our Land Rover (I know, don't laugh). Willing to do a partial trade if you have something newer. Must have 4 doors. I have kids. Has the rear locker 263K miles Timing belt, water pump, heater Ts, and crank...

I've never heard of them until about a couple weeks before I bought them. Found out they were a local company and they're helping the environment by recycling. Read up a few reviews - some good some bad, but most products get some bad reviews no matter what. So I thought I'd give them a shot. I...

I didn't know anything about this (until I read up on it now) so I didn't ask. The machine looked fairly old and all the weights were placed on the front of the wheels so I am guessing it's the static balance.

4/10: Just did a 200-mile trip on the freeway over the weekend. Tires did great. No problem with road noise or vibrations.

I've never had a 4Runner so I can't comment on that. But if gas mileage is a factor in your decision stay away from the LC 100. I am getting about 10 city and 12 highway. And that's with street tires! I just put on a set of larger all-terrain tires so will see how bad it will get.

4/3: Got them installed on my 100. But before I put them on I took an unofficial weigh-in with my bathroom scale. The P265 on OEM rims weighed in at about 57 lbs. I then weighed the new tire on 18" steel Tundra wheel. 105 lbs! Ouch. Took it for a test drive up to about 75 MPH. Seems pretty solid...
