Well, I guess I am going to bring this thread back from the grave. I sold this 80 series in 2015 shortly after the birth of our second daughter. At the time I was working on my undergrad and looking for work after transitioning out of the Marine Corps.
7 years later, there hasn't been a day go...
Greeting and salutations,
This year has had its up's and down's like most do, but something I am very excited to share with you all is the creation of The Dirt Therapy Project! This is a Veteran (me) founded non profit located in San Antonio that aims to introduce Veterans to Mountain Biking...
Since you are building a new rig, drive it open for a while. People jump in blind sometimes and spend money they don't need to spend on gear that is overkill for their needs.
I drove my 80 with open diffs on 35"s for about a year. I learned a lot about it, and respect the stock capabilities...
Well, I called discount and they are the same price as the terra grapplers. No mileage warranty though. I told them not to cancel the order on the terra grapplers so I can look at them side by side.
Pulled the trigger on the nittos.
Gy mtr-not available/back order
Km2-not available
Nitto trail grappler -not available/back order
BFG KO2 not available
I need new tires for my 80 and have been giving this a lot of thought. I am about to pull the trigger on some nitto terra grapplers in 37x12.5x17 unless anyone can give me a good reason not to.
Pro's as far as I see them
Harder compound (last longer)
longer wear life
better mpg (hahaha)...
