Installed the new (used) LT265/70R/17C BFG K02's ....
Your next purchase should be mud flaps. Those BFG's are rock throwing sons-a-bitches... and be sure to rotate them every 4,000 miles (at least) or they'll start the 4x4 droning noises.

They look great, and they are a good off road tire... but they suck as a dual duty tire... well IMO.

John, they're Nitto Ridge Grapplers and they really don't throw any rocks. After almost 2 years there's still no chips behind them. One reason I don't have mud flaps is because they always either get torn off or hung up off roading.

Took it to the dealer for oil change and tire rotation. Dealer is just down the road from my work and I can walk there. Normally I do that myself but this way I don't get any BS about warranty claims. I will change the oil every 5k and take it to the dealer every other time so they have a record that it was done every 10k. Cost a little more but then I'm not jacking it up and moving tires around in 90 degree heat either.

Today I looked at Amber and smiled, thinking about how much I appreciate the fact that I was able to buy her and what she has become. My little Sabre Ranger not only gets lots of compliments, she is the fastest thing around here thanks to @5startuning and some other mods.

I've let guys from my gun club take her for drives and I still overhear them talking about her when someone new asks "who's truck is that?" The other day she was sitting next to a 250 Tremor and I actually heard someone say they would take her over that. (not looking for arguments)

I have had all kinds of awesome vehicles but she has become my favorite.

Nitto Ridge Grapplers? I replied to OrangeStreak, who stated:
