The only place that would look better is in my driveway!!
Decided to go with 17" icons and 285/70/17 KO2 in load range C instead. Should shave a decent amount of weight from my last setup of 305s load range E
Did you put them on already? How much of a difference do you feel in the ride quality with Cs?
They're getting mounted tomorrow then i'll toss them on this weekend and do a review, so far the combo weighs 78lbs, vs 96 lbs for my 305s

Another good option in Load C tires are the Ridge Grappler

Updated the OBA sytem. Manifold in the engine has a universal coupler, just in case someone else needs a fill. The line going below the tee redirects to a 4-port manifold that splits to 4 tubes holding the recoil hoses. The line that come through the tee goes through the firewall to another manifold inside the cabin. From the interior manifold, I have a ball valve to control deflating, and the compressor switch to control inflating. The interior manifold also has a pressure gauge, so I can control the pressure of my tires from the cabin. The thought process behind this is two-fold: First, so I never have to worry about packing a hose for inflating/deflating again (saves space in the cargo area), and; secondly, I do a lot of snow wheeling and will be nice to deflate and inflate from the comforts of the cabin - it will help in inclement weather, as well. Lastly, this is just a proof of concept. Right now, the tubes are PVC and held on via metal clamps. The final version will be thick stainless steel tubing welded to the sliders. Or, if I can find a smaller diameter recoil hose, I will weld it above the slider connecting bridges. Video of interior deflate/inflate
Impressive man! Nice work.
I am also running load range E KO2s because I was told they are most puncture proof but I do wonder if a lighter load range would be quieter and smoother on the road.
I do a lot of highway driving and occasional light offroad, i don't do rockcrawling so the C should be more than adequate. I'll tell you how they ride in a couple days, my main concern is weight, god the 305s weighed a ton, i almost crapped my pants when i did a tire rotation last time.
The 285/70/17 KO2 Load Range C came from the new Wrangler Rubicon, you can find ton of them on sale after those guy go up to 35s . I bought all 4 brand new with less than 100 miles on them for $600, can't beat that.
What did you do to get the base plate to stick on the dashboard?ram mount install
snorkell install
I've got the @FxFormat setup. Load E for me all the way, but the trails out here need a little extra resistance. I put up with the road manners to avoid punctures. Though...$600. That sounds like an ideal way to get a more comfortable set for the road (most of my mileage, unfortunately), and another set for trails. Same cost as just two of the Es.
@LXColorado Nice work, I'm building the same system.
The tire chucks I have right now are leaking a bit, what tire chucks are you using?

I bought my set from eBay last Dec when they had a 20% off coupon. For 4 285/75/16 Load E KO2s from Discount Tires, I paid $640 including shipping!
I have seen Tundra/Sequoia 18 in wheels show up with Michelin LTX tires on local CL for about $600 from time to time. I have been thinking about buying a spare set for regular usage and then keep my KO2s for wheeling trips.
But, I don't have much garage space, and am also too lazy to keep switching them

Man, I need to pay more attention. That's a screaming deal.

Can we see a pic?
been busy at work all day didn't get a chance to mount them bro, will try again tomorrow. I'm excited though, setup looks good without too much compromise on drivability and MPG
