As a thought might I suggest the Firestone Destination XT over the BFG? I ran it on my Ranger when I had it and I was happy with it. It is also lighter than the KO2 when comparing same size and load range. Also never had an issue with punctures both On and OffRoad. I got a write up in another thread on here about them
Thank's, I'll give them a look when the time comes.

welcome to the old age club.
Yeah, I used to think it sucked getting old but, now I say that getting old is a gift. I lost my wife to cancer a couple of years ago. Changed the way I think about alot of things.

Deep personal losses will do that, for sure.
I am sorry for the loss of your wife.
Can't imagin how lost I'd be without mine...

Thank's ! It's tough for sure Man! We were high school sweethearts. Started dating at 15. Dated 5 years then married for 35 years.
My advice to you is to love her like there's no tommorow! You never know what could happen tommorow.
Take care!

Wait, you traded in an older F150 for better fuel mileage only to slap on bigger and heavier tires then increase drag with a level...


Anyway, welcome to the old age club as well.
Smart move Huh? I'm my own worst enemy sometimes. LOL
And Thanks!

Better advice has never been given. As a very unexpected ”primary caregiver” to my sweetheart, those are words I live by every single day. I hear you. ?

Yeah, it definitely skipped leg day. LOL Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would though. Still looks like a 4x4.
I have been watching the instrument panel mostly. I do hand calculations sometimes and get real disappointed with that. True numbers with a tank of gas/gallons used are usually in the mid 16's. So the instrument panel method is more appealing. LOL
Yeah, if you never re-calibrated, you’ve likely only lost half of what the computer says. The good news is, your odometer is logging less miles than you’re actually driving - shhh, don’t tell anyone.

Can’t help you with the noise from those mud terrain tires except to suggest turning the stereo up to eleven. :D

My stereo goes all the way to 30. I guess you guys are old if 11 is loud enough for you. ?

Dude, Google it, it’s a thing - maybe from the ice age, but still a thing. :D

I'm well aware just messing with everyone. I'm not that young or old. Coming up on what could be considered middle aged I guess. Still feel like I'm 15, until I get hurt. Then I feel that for a few days.

Copy that! Actually, eleven is barely audible these days - happy to have 30!

It's hard not to put some type of mod on any truck.

I also have a Ford Edge. Still stock. I think DD SS3's would look silly on it. ?
