Truck's currently in FL but I am in MA. I need to ask, why are you upgrading to Yokohoma 33"s when you are recommending the Cooper's?

The coppers have been great for driving (quiet) and some off roading. But I have since modified the truck to fit 33” tires and regeared it so I would like to have something more aggressive for some upcoming trips. So I am going with a 33 mud tire. Cooper makes a 33” mud tire but it more expensive and not as quiet as the Yokohama.

Still stand by the Cooper adventurer as a solid AT tire though.

Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus is a good tire, as well.

running a set of 265/60/R18's on one of my '04s. i think they handle wet pavement better than the KO2s i have on my other '04.

when it's time for a new set i'll probably be switching from the KO2s to the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plusses.

275/65/18 from what I understand based on the sizing you provided on the Cooper's you already have 33" tires? Am I reading this wrong?

Either way I have a 3" lift and after a bit more research, I will most likely be going with 33" tires, so though I appreciate it if your coopers are 32" for some reason it would be a pass anyway.

If you're going to get them I would soon as steel prices have gone up like 30%, or go with another set up as they were pretty pricey to begin with.
Thank you, Toyo Open Country AT3 265/70r18. looks like a great tire.
got my dark crow bumpers and sliders about a month ago and installing them this week. Yeah I got in just before the steel price increase.

A useful sticky would be one with a list of recommended purchases and links for new disco owners (e.g. UG, PVC, etc). I'm having to hunt around to find them, it'd be nice if they were all complied in one place
