Pics Alas - I picked these up for $840 installed (price-match + BF deal at DT) and have had them for about 2 weeks now. Not only do I love the LOOK (dare I say), they ride great. Very good road manners for an MT. Excellent traction in the rain and no real measurable difference in MPG. They're...

Nope. Contradiction would be me posting boringly negative comments in other people's posts. Welcome to the band of idiots though, you're now a threesome! One more member and you'll be legit!

I'm not buying them just for looks. I want a capable off-road tire that will also perform well with heavy road driving - they do exist, especially with some of the new technologies/compounds emerging. I drive a lot on the highway, but also go camping quite a bit and work in an industrial part of...

I can only hope that one day, I'll be as tough as this guy. BTW, when did you graduate to orange belt?

Not sure what's confusing about my comment. I doubt I'm the only person on the planet to shy away (or switch gears) from a product that every Tom, Dick and Harry owns. I literally see 15 sets of KO2s every day - they're boring AF to me now. This is the same reason I don't own a wrangler, or a...

I've actually looked at these before, but your post peaked my interest again...because they are just SEXY. AS. HELL. The more I research, the majority of the reviews seem to be very promising, and the price point is fantastic! Can you comment on long-term history/satisfaction, as it relates to...

It's about time to replace my 275 KO2s (which I've liked for the most part, with the exception that everybody and their dog has them), and am looking at switching to a 285 MT (TRD Pro w/ 2" Toytec Lift). I'm on the fence between the new BFG KM3s (which look awesome and have great INITIAL...

Front Bumper Inserts? Nice looking wrap - I've got a little experience with vinyl wrapping, and am now looking to wrap my runner in 3M 1080 matte military green. I've got a question for you regarding the front bumper.....did you use inserts? If not, did the material heat/cut/stretch around the...

I would say definitely not. In my opinion, it would look like a giant empty template. Also, there are small indentations for letter alignment that would also look odd.

I did not...must just be the picture angle.

New Shoes Just mounted a fresh set of 275 KO2s, and man do they look and feel great. Set them at 42PSI after reading all the deliberation on other forums, and am quite happy with the ride. What to do next....? Oh wait, I told my wife I was done (for now....muahahahahahaah).

New Shoes Just got my 275 KO2s mounted up, and THEY. LOOK. GREAT. After reading the back and forth (on other threads) about air pressure, I ended up settling on 42psi - feels dialed-in perfectly to me, but I might play around with it. Here she is in all of her glory:

265 Nittos Nice set of 265 Nittos I just posted in the FS forum, if any of my Houston peeps are interested. http://www.toyota-4runner.org/sale-suspension-wheels-tires/228362-fs-set-4-265-70r-17-nitto-grapplers-5-200mi.html

Good Ol' Paint So aside from the roof rails (which I painted matte black a while back) the only chrome bits on my TRD Pro were the rear emblem & lettering. It really did start to drive me crazy that these weren't blacked out form the factory (not so much as the roof rails did though)....so I...
