The Trxus are alright, they sucked in the rain in my Runner. They did great offroad though.

I had balancing issues on mine, but I'm not sure if it was the tire or the rim. I got flat spots when it was cold out, but they rounded out pretty quick.

the interco's are great.. they are made here in Louisiana.... you did good by getting a radial tire... the other Swampers like the TSL's and the "Stuckbirds" hehe tend to wear quick on the road.. but the truxus are ok... they look mean on there too!

the other tires (procomp mts) came to me with about 70% tread left

after a lot of wheeling and a lot of miles, they were down to about 40-50%

so i sold them and got these

they are not balanced right even though i watched them balance them and i know they did it right.... i will get them rebalanced. these things are apparently very hard to balance so i am not surprised.

i have a high tolerance for vibrations too so its not a big deal to me.

oh i will, im not worried about it.

the odd thing is they look so much more narrow than my 305/70 procomps did

the treadpattern is narrow, i guess thats why

this is odd to me bc they are 33x12.50's, which is wider than 305/70s.

Nice tires.

Side note:

Did I miss something? When did you get that rear fender armor?

Nice rear bumper!

I must have been in a dark hole around then to miss that on YT. I didn't realize you got a new rear bumper...the above pics it's hard to tell. I just assumed it was new rear fender armor. I love the somewhat factory look too.

Awesome stuff lee

Looks great. Hopefully the balancing issues will work out, did you ever install those SAW's up front?
