Yup, can't wait to get offroad with them!And I don't care for the white letters, so I mounted them on the inside.

Moar pics. I'll be trimming the end of the sliders at the front wheel and some of the sheet metal as well. Hadn't had any rubbing with the old set up, but want to ensure it with this combo, since they are just a bit bigger. Measure in at 32" mounted with weight.

Hey man,

Looking at your build thread, it looks like you had Wrangler MT/Rs on your truck before you went to the KM2s. What size were theMT/Rs? What tire do you like better?

There's are the two tires I'm trying to decide between now in 245/70/17s

Thanks,
Jeff

The tires you looked at on his build thread, are the kumhos. The tread looks similar but it's defiantly kumhos.

And the tire size your looking at I assume is for stock height. If you buy tires before you lift you'll regret it and you'll always want to go bigger!!!!!

Andrew is right. Had the Kumho Venture MT's or something like that. They were fine, just didn't like that they were directional. Lasted pretty long as well. Took them off with 60k and they still had good tread left.

The BFG's were great. Only had them about a year, then put them on my Jeep for a few months then sold em to go bigger. But they were a solid tire.
