Tires are 315 Toyo mud terrains and the flares are a custom fiberglass set from @jamisobe that I lined when I did the whole truck.

Its in the Shasta-Chappie OHV park. Its run by the BLM, and has a ton of great trails. Theyre all numbered, so if you google the park youll find a map.
This trail starts from the south entrance, off Iron Mountain Road, and is number 4. If you look on the map, youll see it becomes trail number 5 for a few hundred meters, this is where I got turned around, as there are some pretty steep rock ledges. Didnt want to tackle them alone and get stuck. But the trail is still worth the out and back, if you turn at Hang Glider Hill, or bring a group to try to push through the "Most Difficult" section.
Trail number 3 is mild, but has some good views, and spits you out on the North side going across Shasta Dam. Trail number 1, starting from the North side, is a long climb without much serious obstacles, but offers some amazing views. Give yourself at least 5 hours, if youre doing trail 1 though.
Enjoy! Bring water, it gets insanely hot here in the summer. The long climbs in 110 degrees will eat your engine if youre not careful.

Cooper STT Pro!
Anything but Coopers!
Got my call sign: KM6IRT and picked up a group 31 odyssey and edgestar 53qt. Both used and hopefully they will stay in good working order.
I've actually poked around a bit in there a few months back, but nothing serious. I'm about 45 minutes west of there. If you ever want to meet up and check out the area, PM me, I'm always looking for people to get out and explore with.

Absolutely nothing. They are great tires. I absolutely love the st maxx's I am currently running.

My weekend is Monday-Wednesday. I got my 80 back, finally. My coworkers husband has had it sitting in the back of his body shop for a few months working on it in his down time. Here's how it looks now.
Turned out better than I'd hoped. Now to figure out why my battery keeps taking a crap and get everything installed again.

Found this little beauty abandoned in Laguna Beach.

swapped my 60 series aisin hubs on my part time 93 80 for the correct scalloped style gold dial aisin hubs from cruiserouttfiters..... Looks legit!
Delamination, sidewall blowouts
They're working well for me!
And they're quiet on the highway!
Really like your tube bumper! Is that home brew or is it manufactured?
My treps have no lug slap at highway speeds and I haven't had one fail yet after 30k on themThey're working well for me!

Some forum discussion on Cooper failures...mentioning the issues that I know about. For the price, there are many better options out there

Upgrades are coming.
I ordered seat covers from marathon too. Still waiting but the material and craftsmanship in person was really nice.

No doubt those Coopers had some failures. I have the STT Pro, though. I am seeing no signs of issues like the earlier model tire. Have you any discussions that reference failures on the STT Pro specifically?

In all fairness, each of those threads you linked is from quite some time ago. For the most part, everything I've seen recently about Cooper has been nothing but praise.My treps have no lug slap at highway speeds and I haven't had one fail yet after 30k on them

People have issues with every single tire out there, including the ones that are well regarded (Duratrac sidewall issues, kO2 premature cracking/dry rotting, etc.) Personally I wouldn't write off an entire brand just because of a few threads from 5-10 years ago.

Home fab! Can't take credit for it, though. Rocky @ Marlin Crawler built it.
