Did you recently move to MN and not tell us? That FF is the nastiest stuff and unnecessary down here. I've had cars for decades without the first sign of undercarriage rust. While I get it for "patina preservation," having FF underneath is the equivalent of my 80 with a leaking oil pump seal: It's always just wet and nasty and needs to be cleaned off..........

The light coat that this gun puts on will be wet for a bit but then the dust and dirt will get on it and dry it up.
Then when I wash it next time all that surface rust on my frame will be gone. Color will be back as If it was painted.

The 285/65-18 Ridge Grappler look great on Berkley’s truck. The speedo is only off 2 mph now at 70. Very little weight used to balance them. I’ve not put any high miles on the Ridge Grappler but the most anal **** I know @ntsaint says they last.
Of course i get tired of tires before they wear out so what does that matter.

How do they measure on the tape compared to the 305 BFGs you took off? (I have a set of OE 18’s in the garage waiting on a “need” for new tires on Jae’s 99)

Thanks for the biz.

An inch shorter mounted

I put the 285/60-18 on Will’s (no lift) and this is a better look. Not as square

 

[ntsaint]

That really is a great tire. Quiet. Balance well. Wear well. And most importantly, look good.

I got 60k out of my last set. And they were only marginally louder when they came off, as opposed to BFGs which get loud AF as they wear.

One of the best tires I have ever owned for on and off road. The lugs don't seem to tear/chunk and also the way the outter tread block you don't fight the feathering you do with the KO2s.

LX got some rear brakes today. I’d say they were past due.... thanks to @wct49 for the hookup on the terrain tamer rotors!

 

[dnp]

Didn't know you'd acquired an LX. Photos?

 

[Bomar]

both my trucks used to eat rear brakes.... I didn't know if it was my driveway or not. Time will tell

Why would you want to see an LX?

Oh wait.

I suppose the lesson here is: Get your truck U L T R A clean, then put it on BaT. Even "ordinary" vehicles bring MUCH more money there!

Man.

Yep. Pretty surprising. That's not exactly what I'd call a low-mileage truck

49 Tire turned me on to the100 series.
I had no idea I needed a 100 until I used the 1/2 million mile 49 Tire 100. I purchased one soon after, one with WAY LESS miles. Damn you 49...Damn you.

I hope I never purchase any vehicle from the BaT site.

Hey everyone. New here to the Mud forum but have had my 100 series for a couple years now. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a body shop that could install a front bumper in the Jackson area.

Winch bumper? If so 49Tire

It will have a slot open for a winch, but I dont have the money to go ahead and install the winch too yet. I called 49 Tire Pros about 30 minutes ago, and they said they dont install front bumpers
