I've been eyeing the KO3s for when my Goodyear Adventures wear out, and want to go to that size for my coil sprung P300 110S. But they're significantly heavier than the "non-LT" 265/70/18s Goodyears (56.8 pounds each vs. 37). That's 80 pounds of rotating mass/unspring weight. I was worried they would feel sluggish.
Thanks for sharing your experience.

That's great to hear - especially since you have a 6-cyl to compare it to.

As for uumph, I don't notice a lack of power between them.

They are very happy with the result.
They bumpers look absolutely excellent in person. Fabulous quality and confer excellent protection to the corners. Something missing from the OEM bar-work.
If I was looking to put a winch and front armor on mine, Expedition One would be the way to go. No question.

Looking sharp! Which boxes are those? I was looking at some Front Runner ones, but have read some not so stellar reviews. Are they dust/water-proof? And your general comments on them. Thanks!

Decided to spend some time in SE Oregon and explore Jordan Valley and the Steen Mountains. 1500 miles in 3 days started in Portland and went east to Ontario and dropped down into Idaho and back into Oregon. Once again the Defender doesn't disappoint. My old 50 yr old bum wasn't even fatigued and I could've went for another few days. Slept in the back the truck after a riding my mountain bike each day.
