So after the Signal Peak and Eagle lakes trail run i decided that i need/want some beefer tires was really liking the Goodyear MTR with Kevlar but came up on a set of 5 35'' BFG KM2s for $1000 on CL in excellent condition, the price is high for 17'' wheels new is around $350 each for the MTRs n the KM2s



To fit the 35s i Ordered 1.5'' body lift from 4crawler and Toy tec coilovers (ARB bumper bracket, Bilstien 5125 control arm bushing an hi lift handle keeper)





Then finally got them on

Before n after

Lifted my ARB up to match with the 1.5'' BL









then i finally found a wheel for my spare its from a 4th gen sport i think



and then i had to find a way to carry it around with out puting it on my roof where il have to get it off every night or in the back taking up space so then i thought of this

my tire carrier build

so with the tire carrier and gear in the truck the Runner had alot of weight in it at least to much for the LC 8 wraps to handle so i thought about the 9wraps, ome 861, n ome 851 then i decided on the ome 851s





exactly the same wraps n height
but the 851s are a bit thicker



the stock LC 8wraps with no weight

passenger side


driver side


the ome 851 with tire carrier and gear settle down for bout a month

passenger side


driver side


when i first installed it with no weight it gave me exactly 2'' over the stock 8wraps but now with wieght in the back an a month later still gives me 1'' over really liking them the rides better than when i first got them on
