So far so good. I have not been able to test out the range though.

I was just looking at the Hankook Dynapro's and came back across this thread. Your new meats are sick dude! How do you like the change from the 17" Hankook's?

Thanks CRAW. The MTR's have way more of a humm on the highway than the Hankooks. Not sure how I feel about that yet. I haven't been able to take them to the dirt but I'll get to try it out this weekend and report back. They have a wider stance than the Hankooks but now I have to trim the mounts.

The new meats and wheels look great. How many miles did you get out of your Kook's. I have about 12k on mine and they're at about 70% tread. Just curious.

I had about 16k on mine before I sold them to Boss73. Ask him, surprisingly, there was still tons of tread left. I think I could have got 15k more out of them. I rotated them every 3k which I think helped.

Sweet ride and nice build page.

Question? Were the rear brake line extensions necessary with your lift?

Thanks for the compliment.
Regarding the break lines, they're not required (rather recommended) but just some piece of mind. With the rear lifted, you'll gain some additional flex which extend the break lines past their normal tolerance, and over time possibly lead to failure.
