The need to re-gear with skinny tires is a bit lessened though because you'll have a lot less unsprung weight to overcome. Just something to think about. You probably wouldn't need to regear with skinny 33". Maybe with 34". Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

This helped me when I was deciding https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=245-75r16-255-75r16

255/75r16 is a skinny 31"

I definitely didn't need to regear with skinny 32's

Tommy Boy said it best, "You can put a guarantee on a piece of turd, and all you'll end up with is a guaranteed piece of turd"...(censored. Because people on this forum are a class act and deserve it)

I have 255 I have 255/75/17, which are basically skinny 32's. one of the things that sealed it is the weight. They are only about 4lbs over stock. I'm really trying to keep the changes and modifications to my rig at a minimum.

Wow. A lot of snow melted between yours and my trip. Nice photo

I had a full load. But I went slow. I think that makes a difference.

I'm amazed at how quiet my KO2s are on the highway. And because I went with 255s, I've seen no hit to the mpg. And they were champs on the rugged trail I just completed.

It was amazing. Only saw one other guy on our way out, but he was headed for Funnel Lake. We went south and camped on the ridge above Baker Creek. Amazing trip! I saw a mountain lion attack a group of deer in the trees below our camp. One of the most amazing things I've seen in the wild...

I was running 20 PSI and went pretty slow. My speed probably helped. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

It's about having your rig take you somewhere fun. It's all about the adventure. Who gives a crap what it's called? I just call it having fun. Everyone else can call it whatever the F they want. Some people get so caught up in it all... Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

This may not be a popular viewpoint, but criticizing people's interpretation of 'overlanding' sounds a bit arrogant. It's as if you're saying, "It's not 'overlanding' unless it's how I would do it. And those people just don't qualify to be in MY category of adventurer". Let people call whatever...

For what it's worth, I just came back from a trip about 20 miles into the Eastern Sierras. That's some Rough, rocky terrain back there. Some of those rocks were sharp! KO2's were awesome in every way. No gouges, chunks missing, or any signs of wear. They handled like a champ. And the...

Also, there are so many gas stations off the 395, you could *probably* air down and re-up at a gas station. Just a thought. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

You could always mess around Movie Flat and then cruise up to Whitney Portal to cool down. Sent from my iPhone using OB Talk

We just came back from that area. Didn't hit too many of the low elevation trails because it was 113 degrees. We went up to 10,000 in Bishop. But I wouldn't recommend that without proper gear. Lots of sharp rocks. Buttermilks would probably be nice. But all those lower areas are gonna be...
