burbuja96 is from Texas.

Let's watch this story develop. :popcorn:

As much as I hate Texas, I'm still a man of my word. They will be shipping to @burbuja96. I'm even going to clean them up before I box them up.

And F$#% Texas!
 
Check out Cooper tires offerings. I ran BFG AT/KO's for 11 years and switched to Cooper ST/Maxx and I love them. Being in Ohio I really wanted a nice snow/slush/winter tire that was more on the aggressive side.

I just dumped a set of ko2's in 255/85-16 for set of ST Maxx in 255/80-17, just last thursday. So far I could not be happier with the swap, any my Ko's only have about 5 or 6 thousand miles on them. I have had plenty of coopers in the past, and never had an issue and know several people that run these ST Maxx's and have heard nothing but good reviews of them. I didnt have a choice as the only 2 options on the market in 255/80-17 are the KO2 and the ST maxx and I wanted to stick with the skinnier 33

I checked my maintenance log this morning to see when I got my KOs. Purchased in December of 2009. They have 37k on them. I guess that isn't horrible. They still have decent tread on them but it's winter and they are probably a little hard. If it was summer if probably try to squeeze a little more life out of them.
 
Ha they look HUGE!
Yeah, they're a big change from my 31" street tires but I like them so far. They decided to remove one of my bumper corners before I could get to it this morning. :) Definitely noisier but I don't have carpet right now so that makes it worse. Sound deadener and bedliner going inside soon...

I got the estimate, conferred with the wife, put down the parts deposit for the head gasket repair/rebuild at ACC.
 
It appears a knuckle rebuild is in my plans this weekend... Thanks @cruiseroutfit. But no sticker?!?!

I have this exact same box en route right now.

I've put it off for a little while now. Have had the birf soup and losing grease from my knuckles. Wasn't concerned about wear or hurting anything as I change my diff fluid every 6 months regardless but it was time.

Plus I think I have a wheel bearing loose so if I'm going to tear in to that I may as well do it all.

It's nice dealing with Kurt because he knows his s***. As do CDan and Beno. It's great to have guys that know their s***.

Nice air tank compressor install.

I did notice the MTR tire is swapped around. Does it give better lateral sability?
I have have noticed my MTRs in mud like to slide sideways more than other mud tires I've had.

By the way I liked my ST Maxx tires better than my MTRs so far.
The guys in the snow seem to like the MTRs well.

Started my Webasto install, brackets are fabbed and powdercoated, and the unit is in its new home!

I honestly don't know. I have only been offroaded with military tires and these. Haven't gone into mud yet and I wouldn't be able to tell lol
