I'm still contemplating the DuraTrac & T/A KO's, but have some decent tread left on the stocks BFGs, so this gives me a little while to hear others reviews and experience.
Seems like everyone goes for a mud tire anymore. Sure they look good and are great off-road, but I need something that works as well on road as off, and handles tons of snow and ice too. The on road, snow and ice is where the muds all seem to faulter in performance compared to the ATs.

Truck looks good and as long as you like it, that's all that matters.

Ya use as much tread as you can on your current set.I originally wanted to go with an all mud tire,but in the end wanted a mix and after searching and gathering reviews(also the set i had picked out,Khumo Road Venture M/T KL7's were crappy in the snow)Found the Duratracs to be a mix of what i wanted in my next set of tires.The looks,the off road capabilities,the on road handling and traction and the rain/snow traction.Thus so far i am very pleased with them and looking forward to the winter and seeing what they can do.I will also admit,i wanted a tire that not many ppl had in my area.I saw plenty of the Bfg's T/A's.Wanted to stand out so thats why i also picked the Duratracs.I am getting complements when ppl see my tires as i drive.Make sure you keep us updated on what you decide.
Hey thanks Ford4WD08 for the correction.

Just trying to get more comments for my pics and what ppl think of them.Am i selfish for wanting more,yes i am.
Had them in the mud today while it was raining,freaking great.Never got stuck once,great self cleaning and mud traction.Didn't have to use 4wd once.Also great wet traction.Rain was really coming down.Very good take off and stopping traction in the rain.

Sounding like a good set of all around shoes. Hope they continue to prove to be this versatile. Haven't gotten out in the mud with the BFG's yet, but they have done great in the rain the last couple days around here.

Truck looks good I wish I would have went with those tires back when I looked at them! Anyhow I noticed that you have cab roof (clearance) lights on your truck. I really wanted to do that to mine. Is it hard? Where did you get them, if you did it yourself?

Cab lights were easy.Got them from auto zone for $20.00.Me and my buddy did it.Took about 4hours.Just you better not be afraid about drilling into your roof and removing your overhead liner.If you do them,have a friend help you.Trust me on this,he will come in very handy for lining up the lights and marking and removing overhead liner and installing again.Any more questions,please see my agent,lol.Just kidding,let me know.
MHC-150.Sounds like your tires are also doing just well.

Ahh I see. I'll have to check out Autozone I just saw recon had some too but I didn't find a price. Where did you wire them into (obviously a wire for when your running lights are turned on)? Thanks for all the help!

When doing my wiring,me and mu buddy had to options.Run it right to the battery and make more of a hassle doing that,or find a positive wire.We tied all our wires to one central wire,then tied that wire into the dome light.Hope that all made sence.Anything else,let me know?
