Never enough tools. Never enough time. But lots of desire.

Cool Small Victories

After fighting the brakes, brake lines, and PValve, it was time for a sunset cruise on the sagebrush sea.....

Thumbs up Buckshot Mudders

mountain dewd Jakeharp, what tires are you running?
Those are buckshot mudders, bias ply advertised as 33" but they come close to 31" ...... Which really PO'd me, but I dig'em..... not recommended for anything other than a recreational truck, I wouldnt want to commute down the interstate on them

Love the Buckshot Mudders... they just look so bitchin'.

I had to do a real mental inventory of what I need VS what I want and I came to the conclusion that my usual boring BFGs were the smart move. I was extremely disappointed when I found out they changed the tread and sidewall pattern... I had to do some searching for the old-style, semi pie-crust sidewall... the new "modern" look just wasn't gonna cut it.
ETA: I also should have turned the white letters in. I let a couple of "dudes" hanging around the shop talk me into "letters out".

Manufactured by the same company that used to make Gumbo monster mudders. The original superswampers.

The white letters don't look bad but yeah the tread pattern/side wall isn't too pleasing. Other than that tho the truck looks great!

Don't mind me...I'm just eyeballing the tread and sidewall...

Edit: just found a pic of the new KO2s....I wouldn't want them either...

To each their own I guess. I kind of like the KO2 tires.

Then again, I went with Dick Cepek Mud country on my high boy so I guess I am showing my youth.
