Just don't expect to get 50k miles out of them.

Should, at least, benefit from lesser pressure more than the KM2s. Seems the sidewalls bore the weight at 18psi and less, plus the Krawlers are stickier, knobbier, and bigger.
That trifecta is a win, win, win.

Take me awhile to get 50k on the LX. By the time these are done, maybe looking at 40s. Bahahaha.
FJNewb said:Wasn't the FJC supposed to be the comfortable daily anyways
For now, yes.
The KM2s on the FJC have worn well, the biggest complaint the increasing road noise with wear, but it is what it is, and I kinda like the sound.
Ready to get these on!!
When ordering new, had intended on the rapid deflate valve, but wondering if it'd be worth drilling into these, and how exact a science that is.

I figured you'd say that Nick. You're actually the reason I'm thinking about going this route.
It's the way to go in my opinion. If you build your 80 like chris and wheel the crap out of it, what happens when you break something. And something will break. Then you're out of a car and have to make sure you have the money to fix it right away. My truggy breaks, whatever it sits until I have the time and money to fix it. Might be a week, might be 3 months.
Yeah, as luck would have it, I've got a buddy willing to sell his very mildly modded 91' pickup to me. The truggy route seems very appealing, we'll see.

Carry spares and fix it.
By maintaining some resemblance of OE, hoping the TLC deities will show favor when, not if, breakage occurs.
To add, I'll drive the FJC, GX, or F350 ( if she's in the mood to be driven ), while fixing.
Not a DD, not a trailer queen, but a comfortable buggy with air and leather, fully expected to drive there, wheel, then drive home.
BUT, I'm thoroughly convinced this (PP80) is merely step two down the trail of full blown insanity, in true gateway drug lore, and a buggy will be in my future, but to what degree I can't even begin to speculate.
To impart a philosophical standpoint.
We live life with death the only guarantee.
Very similar.
Modify a station wagon, (for the purpose of escaping said life, with the intent of hastening its demise by expecting it to perform well beyond it's intentions) when, no matter what, impending carnage will ensue.
So shall the station wagon not live?
Shall it remain caged in the garages of middle class suburbia, all because the expectation level that TLC ( well, PP TLC, in my case) 80 off road enthusiasts have set remains well above it's genetic capabilities?
Shall it be deemed unworthy of rock donkey stature?
In the (very modified, for the purpose of adding flair to the dramatic) wise words or landtankius.
"Just because of a few failures (or potential carnage), I refuse to give up on the OE engineering and declare it a POS, in it's entirety".
I'm of that mindset, which is certifiable, no doubt, but feel an actual bond, borderline love, for the PP80 ( probably due to the pink panty verbiage added. Just something about PPs......) and don't feel I'd do her justice by waving as I pulled out of the driveway with a trailered buggy, until she's been given the chance to live, myself vicariously, through the trials.
No, I haven't been drinking. Bahahaha.
Hahahahahaha, well said Chris.
Remember if you're going to huff paint and list, always use the gold spray paint. It will let you really expand your realm of thought.

You're doing it all wrong! Find cough syrup with lots of dextromethorphan and drink it down like water. I'm pretty sure that's what Pink Panty boy is on.

My votes still for the self pics of hot chick from the 40 section, in the furry bunny suit on roller skates. Posted in chit chat, I think.
Bahahaha.

That's Pink Panty man, to you, boy.
Drawing a distinction between conditions of assertion and conditions of truth distorts the meaning of the word "know", which is clearly the definition of "pretty sure".
So put the NyQuil down, LT.

Sure are skinny.
Unless my brute, raw strength had dramatically increased since throwing the 345s around, a lot lighter. Maybe a trade off, weight wise, going to the TRs, but she's gonna look like a fat pig wearing high heels, for sure.
