The Falken MT is a great tire. It has a slightly narrow tread width for any given tire size. It is my go-to tire if someone complains about noise level, harsh ride or radial tire pull. Toyo MT's look similar, but are highly susceptible to radial tire pull... The Falken's have never failed to...
It's hard to fathom the best engineering update they could come up with for both tires was make them as heavy as the heaviest tires in the class. I am a HUGE advocate of the AT3w. It's the best all terrain for almost all applications. I sold literally hundreds of sets... Now I struggle to...
Possibly, I felt like the stainless steel hose clamp was the best option to handle the conditions there. Plus they will have more “force” than you can apply with tie wraps.
You can’t say that with certainty. I’ve seen 2 of the reservoirs leaking that didn’t come completely off but both were...
I know some people think this is funny or are unwilling to take this simple step. I think it is a good solution that doesn't require any further maintenance and will likely allow the shock to reach it's "normal" life expectancy. And then I can replace it with whatever tickles my fancy at the...
Really sucks, the AT3W was pretty heavy too unless you went with the SL tire. But the tire was so good at everything, it made the weight less of an issue.
I think size has a lot to do with it... I'm comparing 35's or 315's. Although we don't have the exact KO3 yet in a 35, following the trend, it's going to be over 70lbs.
The FalkenAT4W is 75.5lbs in LR-C.
For comparison, the Kanati Overland RTX in 35x12.5x17 LR-C is 59lbs...
The AT3W and the KO2 are probably the best AT's on the market... And both are making their replacements in to heavy ass tires.
Way to ruin a good thing.
Eibach Stage 1. You can set at 1.3" front lift and 0.6 rear lift for a super mild leveling kit on great shocks and springs.

Long time off-road guy that does tires at a medium volume offroad shop... I run 35 on the street on the Bronco and 30 on the Jeep. Off-road, my Staun deflators are set to 11psi for the vast majority of off-roading that I do, mostly rock crawling. If I get in to sand, I'm good with the 11psi...
Thank you for the kind words... I don't know about "guru", but I do a decent number of tires at an off-road shop. I've seen a lot on the trail too...
It definitely has to do with tire construction and rim width... I do not run beadlocks and my standard air down is set at 11psi using Staun...
We did a fair amount of messing around with the 4" dash speakers and then going to 6.75 in Mabett rear pods. Along with Forscan tweaks.... Remember, audio is personal, not everyone likes the same tone/sound.
The Kickers were the worst sounding by far.
The Hertz were good, probably second...
