Maybe it makes more sense since the shaft is positioned on the bottom when installed so any water wouldn't be pooling on top of the seal. Still doesn't explain why I didn't get boots with the rear though...

I've liked my set of Falken Wildpeak at3w. Inexpensive, lighter weight, good traction in snow. Haven't managed to put a hole in em yet... Not sure about the tread life though. Also I think the tire guys might have had trouble balancing them but it might have just been a crappy shop. Edit: My kevlar wranglers that came on the truck took a rock straight through the tread on just a normal forest road, couldn't trust those tires.

Anecdotally, all the Dodges I've driven working for the government have been dogshit... Fords less so. None were diesels though. Also judging by flags and bumper stickers, Dodge Rams are the unofficial truck of racist, gun worshipping shitheads.

Your truck is heavy, you'll sink through snow regardless of airing down. Bring a shovel. Hell even atvs sink through snow pretty easily.

I've been running the falken wildpeak at3s in western Oregon for 3 years or so now and they don't worry me one bit on our frequently wet roads. Only problems I've noticed were the tire shop had trouble balancing them and they might be wearing a little fast. I figure the cheap price I got em for makes up for a little premature wear though.

wesleywillis posted:I double checked the size on the sidewall. 265 65 17, same as stock. Checked the tire pressures, might actually be a bit high at 34 psi. I think stock might be 29? Or maybe thats the older Tundras that we have at work and I'm confusing the two, but the tire pressures were taken after sitting all day, not much sun, not particularly hot. 34 should be about right. I've got at3s on my 2016 tacoma offroad and never noticed any rubbing. Might have even gone up a size on the tires but I know the sports have a taller wheel to start with.

Ambassadorofsodomy posted:On the subject of pulling someone out of the mud, up a hill or whatever. I don't have an answer but it sure feels like reverse is a higher gear than first in my manual 16 tacoma. It's really obnoxious trying to back up hills. Probably answer is just wanting to be able to see where your headed

I was amazed how bad our 4 door wrangler rubicon at the BLM handled washboard roads. It was just skating around and felt super dangerous. I'm sure it's great for low speed technical poo poo but for just getting to where you want to go it was not fun. Really have to pay attention on curvy mountain roads too, they like to wander.

Maybe there was something wrong with the particular wrangler I drove, but it was relatively new and shouldn't have had any issues. I used to drive XJs, currently drive a tacoma, and an ranger for work, along with occasionally driving an f150 or random dodge. Washboard sucks in everything but the wrangler was a whole another level, just felt way harder to predict where it was gonna go if you were doing any kinda speed.

+1 for the wildpeak at3w, though i think the tire guys had some trouble balancing them. They've been good for me.

I drive a 2020(?) ranger fx4 crew cab for work with the blm and i like it quite a bit. I've got a few minor quibbles with it but overall it's been great. The backseat is small for sure but it's workable.
