Just got some BFG KM2s today the quietest tires ive had on my truck. Passed by a junkyard on the way home and found a softopper on a totaled toyota and took it home for $100. Tell me what you think.

Very sweet! I wish they'd have cool finds like that at my local yard. How much did the tires cost?

The tires were $932 including warranty, mount and balance. I wasnt going to purchase the warranty but the guys at the shop said if they happen to get punctures while on the trail or even driving over a nail they will replace it no questions asked, as long its not obvious like slashing it with a knife. The topper actually came off of a 1st gen thats why its not perfectly flush with the cab but hey the bed is sealed and its cheap I aint complaining.

another shot of the tires once again these are super quiet and they just float on the freeways. I had the mickey t. baja claws before and they sounded like a helicopter was rolling down the freeway.

Nice score....dont worry the tires will get louder! even my swampers and pitbulls were silent for the first 1000 miles.

you know, if this becomes a problem, I might know of a first gen bout 40 minutes north of you that it could fit on...

but seriously, nice truck, and a great find!

You HAVE to swap the front turn signals into the maker-light housings.... That janky afterthought bracket stuff is bad bad bad.... See 4Crawler.com....

Good point... Ill get to that asap. Great idea since I will be swapping out these smittybuilt bumpers.

I'm here to help.... Normally I am not a fan of the Smitty Built bumpers, but with your lift and tires they don't look too bad. They are just too big on a stocker...
