If you're going to do more street than trail, I always suggest KM2s.

I'd like to try out a set of Kevlar MTR's... especially around here where there is sharp shit to cut sidewalls. A friend has a set on his Jeep, went from Swamper TSL's to them. He's impressed. Not as good off-road as the TSL's (obviously), but on-road they are much better. I'd like to have a set on the Taco to compare against the KM2's.

X2 on the Kevlar's. They have done me very well, on and offroad.

Its 5 lbs per tire... about 8% difference.
That's a lot of rotational mass.

Not really.. considering all the other stuff on the vehicle. It would be the least of my worries.

Here are a couple pics of our crossover pipe modification. The cross over pipe on a 3.4 drops on the passenger side, it has to be moddified to drop on the drivers side.
here is Murphy grinding on the tubing.
Mock up
All tacked together
You can tell by how nice the finished welds are that I let Todd "the master" finish up the welding.

Looking good guys! So was the 3.0 in Ruby toast from the start?

Thanks, I was time consuming getting everything to fit just right, but the end result is pretty good. I think he is going to wrap it in some header wrap.
Bad head gaskets. Big suprise,

It ran alright, Ran like a turd trying to get away from a swarm of flies!
Sounds like a good idea
Glad you got it all figured out so doing mine should be a cinch.
