In this video, I'll be installing the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT tires, as well as the American Racing Baja rims. www.customwhee... www.led-coligh...
Yeah, I love those tires! I bought the Nitto Ridge Grapplers and like them a lot. But I think I like the MT Baja boss A/T tires more. That will be my next purchase unless something better comes out! Good video 👍🏼
I have the Baja Boss AT's 285/70/17 with a 3" OME lift on my 4Runner. About 8000 miles so far. Great tires in snow, mud, rain and suprisingly quiet on road. Highly recommend them!
Nice Dakota! I Don't see too many Dak builds I love this generation, my dad has an 07, the newer gen, it's kind of a pile, but the 4.7 HO does get up and go though haha. I'm jealous of your organized garage and home gym, but it's definitely time for you to invest in an electric impact lol.
I've lost a couple mpg, but honestly, I've added a lot of weight with all the other upgrades I've done to the dakota. I can't blame all of the mpg loss on the tires. Count on losing a little if the baja is going to be bigger and heavier than what you have on your F150 now.
You mentioned in one of the opening statements about the tires that they were “ long tread”. Can you explain this? Is there more than one purchasing option for tread depth and if so, what’s the difference. Thanks.
When I went to purchase the tires, there were two options. The first was the 16mm tread, and the second was the "LT" with 18mm tread depth. I was kinda guessing LT was longer tread, because that's what it has.
LT is for light truck. It has to do with the load rating. They often do have more tread. Mine are E rated and have heavier sidewalls and are quite heavy 20 pounds more each than my old General Grabber AT+ tires. I did go up from 265 32" to 285 33" though. I would have bought the LT version if they were available at the time I bought mine. You made a wise choice. I lost some performance with my 4Runner and about 2MPG. Overall I am still happy with the tires!
This truck is actually stock, believe it or not. I've been considering a 2 inch block on the rear axel, and then raise it 2 inches in the front as well.
