[quote=""ChargerX3""]KO2' are old garbage tech. Put them in a slippery environment and they'll disappoint. Honestly only good for pavement pounding and light trails.[/quote]

Haven't had any problems in the mud or snow with them. Sure.. When they get 10 years old and still have half their tread cause they last forever they do go downhill but so does everything else by then

I've had good experience with them in the past. But think I might give the toyo a shot. Some reviews I've seen online in truck forums seem to prefer the toyo after making the switch

For what it’s worth I am very happy so far with my Cooper’s. They are quiet, they have better traction than my other ones, and they are severe snow rated.

Both the BFG and General Grabbers are severe snow rated as well.

Been looking at head units. Might pick up something with two camera inputs and put a front view camera in. Would be helpful when maneuvering in tighter areas and if I take it on any of the off road trails up here. Lol.

Yes they are. The BFG’s are louder than my coopers. The generals were less traction. But the BFG’s are what I would have gotten if money was no object.

Plenty of tires are 3pmsf rated but they aren’t all the same. If you are doing research make sure you actually look at what people say about snow performance if that’s a concern. It’s definitely a good start though.

Ordered a set of the toyos. Install friday.

Messing around with stuff on the truck, PO has the air bags run through aux switch 4, and rear camera/dimming review through aux 3. Might see if I can route it so it doesn't have to go through aux it.

Need to order a radio now. Haven't decided on speakers yet.

Have an old HD rear camera in the garage. Might hook it up to a new head unit and see if it looks better than the one in there now since it's one of the old mirror ones. If so I'll just disconnect it from the 3rd aux

What’s wrong with the radio? I ran the stock one for years.

I really have grown to enjoy android auto and a good sound system. I have speakers and subs sitting around. Picking up a head unit to run them.

Ordered a Sony head unit. Have some older but good 6x8s laying around I'll swap in plus a few different subs I can try out.

Water pump? Transmission pump?

Said 8 hour job. Had the parts as it was sold by a Ford dealership. They just needed to do it. Rearranged some things to fit it in before they got it to me.
