what tire size you runnin?
 
Ordered an Ironman 2" lift.

It got a new stereo a couple days before Christmas.

Right after the lift goes on, 4X4Labs will be getting a call for a bumper with swing out, ladder, and fuel can rack.
 
Wow, I'm way not as exciting as you all. I'm getting mine yet another tank of gas for Christmas.
But it gave me a present. A somewhat early birthday card:

(My birthday is April 16, 1960.)
 
:steer:wow you drive a lot. That must be over 100k in gas so far
My birthday is two weeks before yours but a lot of years after:hillbilly:
 
The way I figure it:

416000 miles / 13 miles per gallon = 32000 gallons

To be fair, gas hasn't always been $3.50 a gallon. So if we say it's been averaging $2 a gallon for the last 20 years, thats $64,000.
 
I'm giving mine the pleasure of my ass in the drivers seat for as long as she will have me..
oh yeah, and gas, in the tank, not the seat cushion you freaks..

and my local 80 expert, dear friend, beer buddy fishing buddy, etc.. (Scotia, I feel really sorry for yall that don't have your own Scotia in your town.) is going to fix my bothersome CDL disengaging problem.

I've been after the General Grabber (33x12.5x15") for a year now. FWP can't seem to get stock on them, and I really want to do business with them. but.. Alas, I may have to settle on another dealer (not likely as, I'm told it is a manufacture distribution problem) or another tire. I really like the aggressive tread pattern, anyone have any alternatives that aren't BFGs? I've had the budget for them for a while (set of 5), and I really, really, want them.
ideas?

duratracs are bad ass tires. id consider those as my next tire in a 37. im on my 3rd set of km2s
 
I primarily use this truck for beach action (I know, I know, the BFG/AT's are fine but i want those sexy ass Grabbers).
I Plan on an Aussie locker for the rear, and staying with the 33's, I will do the 2 or 2.5" heavy lift (don't remember how tall the short heavy lift is) cuz I need the extra weight capacity..

I don't want to dick with gears, and I think the 3fE would give me the finger trying to move with 37's..

What do you like about the Duratracs? how to they compare weight wise to the grabbers and KM2's in comparative sizes?

Tires are 315 BFG AT's. Plan is to go to 37's, but I'm having second thoughts. I was planning on the OZ military Goodyears, but am not sure as I hear they're hard to balance and aren't as aggressive as they appear. The newness is still settling in with the truck, so until I get a feel for it's long term use, I'll hold off. I may end up with super swampers instead.
