Hi folks; I got tired of constantly trying to balance my TrXus M/T's (265/75) so I decided to change to BFG M/T's (285/75). So far I am very pleased with them - the road noise is less than the TrXus and the balancing is minimal. The only down-side is that I still think the TrXus looked a little better and the gas mileage has taken another hit due to the larger tires.

Of course the byproduct of me buying new tires is that I now have 3 complete sets of tires for sale (original Dunlops, winter 4x4 Alpins and TrXus M/T's) LOL.

I will let you know about off-road performance in due course (the TrXus pulled like bloody tank tracks in the mud and slush - they were great).

Here are a couple pics with the TrXus. The lift is approximately 2.75 - 3 inches with the OME springs.

i think the bfg's look better. ....

 

I want to say they are the Bushwackers?

 

Thanks for the acknowledgement fellas.....I have used Yotatech as the primary resource for every step in the modification process. Thanks to you guys and this site, I now have a lot less money than I should LOL. (BTW, 914runner is correct - the flares are Bushwacker).

Attached are a few more photos.



This is the configuration I use for off-roading - I like using the camcorder to record off-road trips.


Switches for lights, lockers, compressor, etc.

 

Wow...i have never seen that many switches and electronics in one car! Looks great though!

 

You're definitely prepared

 

Just like what I said, about 3 years comes true


"AHHHH the SINKHOLE!!!!!!!Money that you never even thought of spending for your car
comes right out of your pocket and into someone eles's hands right before your eyes and it WILL NOT phase you intill you break something
or something in your house breaks or a new WOMAN that you aquired from driving a YOTA, oh yeah thats a different matter all wrapped up into , nevermind... HAVE A BLAST!

Holy jeebus!

Thats some crazy electronics for sure.

Mother of God ! I hope to one day live up to that display of gadgets. I'm working on a CD Player, CB Radio, and GPS right at the moment. I think it's a good start.
