Short update.
These tires run very big for a 275/70/18. Very. They are 33.43” tall and most 275/70/18s are 33.2” tall. They also run wide. The tread is 9.3” wide. For perspective, that’s the same exact tread width of the 285/75/18 KO3s — a 285 tire. The 275/70/18 KO3 tread is 8.9” wide...
I’m a complete dumbass with installing anything (like really dumb) and I found installing the HD to be easy with the paper instructions they provide. Just give yourself an afternoon, take it slowly, and find a helper for when you need to lift and align panels and tighten them down.

Free most days? I wish I was that rich. My brother is in Austin and I’m in Houston. My son and I are really into this stuff. Would be cool to connect. I’m in Austin a lot.

My wife noted that when we had a lime green TRD PRO, we would see another one every once in a while and we would wave etc. Rare but they were around. For the TH - we have seen zero in Texas. I wonder what production numbers are.
I wanted to start one in Texas. Ping me if interested. Houston, Austin, or San Antonio would work as meeting places. I could also host off-road testing / events at my ranch near Leakey, Texas.
Almost did. Couple reasons. First, I had the AT3Ws on my 22 Pro and liked them. Second, the guys at Discount Tire said they had a hard time balancing KO3s and people were returning them. So I just went with their recommendation. I like the AT4Ws except they ride a little hard. On the fence...
I can attest that the steel skids are super strong as DT jacked up my truck in the totally wrong spot on the skid and it didn’t do anything to it — I was super pissed off but simultaneously impressed it took that much weight without deforming
Give me a 600 lb ft option and I’m in.
In all seriousness - if I don’t care about fuel economy - are there ways to extract more electric motor action on takeoff? I’ve noticed that my battery gets charged very fast with my heavier E-Load. From a stop, it is great for about 1-3 seconds then...
