Centramatics installed!!

Found some on eBay for a hundred bucks. Work great! Really smoothed out the ride, even though I'm only running 31's. Didn't need spacers either.

Also, went in to the front hubs to replace bearings and races, found out that I have heavier duty 4wd size bearings! Hopefully I'll never have to replace them again.

Yeah. Every off road tire I've owned has given me issues at freeway speeds. These REALLY helped!

I see 3 AT's by Federal, the Couragia, MS 351, and the Runway Enduro. But that's weird, cause neither one of them really look too agressive to balance... But I can see some of their MT's being a pain... they've got pretty deep looking lugs on the sides

Yeah, I bought these as part of a used wheel/tire combo off Craigslist. Federals are very rare in CenCal. I had never even heard of 'em. When they go, it'll be back to BFG AT's. These ones are almost as loud at the BFG MT I used to have on a fullsize!

I'm curious if it works better than AirSoft pellets in the tires.

You should take them off, and try AirSoft, and compare!

Do it for YotaTech man, do it for SCIENCE!
