Fuzz, Not really man. I wanted the Krawlers originally but couldnt get my hands on them and BFG said the KM2's wouldnt be out until early 09' and I couldnt wait that long. I only got the TrXus because they were the best I could afford and the KM2's werent out yet. So my TrXus, brand new tires are up for sale haha! At the competition the KM2s absolutely dominated. The TrXus seemed to do alright but on my course I had several rigs running both sets of tires so taking the mean performance of each run I would say the KM2s did exceptionally well! Hence why I want them badly

Those Krawlers were available in Va forever, the set of 5 35 by 13.5's. Should have made the ROAD TRIP! :mrgreen:

Yeah, however I was only buying 3 good ones. The other two were in bad shape. One was almost bald and the other had a massive slash in the sidewall. So, for 900 bucks it wasnt worth it to me

the front is done, gotta tighten the bottom of the shocks and torque wheels tight.

rear is tomorrow, pull and replace...all the brackets are on for the LAs to be put on only had a couple hold ups

-rain
-power steering reservoir hose broke so had to get a new one from junkyard and replace which took 3-4 hours :-x
-and we couldn't use power tools after 830 because the neighbors will call the cops for noise complaints.


going tomorrow at 8AM to finish before his flight to CA at 2pm.

wish me luck :roll:
