I sent them back because they require a slight modification to the truck. There is a brace between the headlight and side marker that must be cut out to fit these lights. That's fine...until these lights fail and you want to replace them. I want to keep the ability to go back to stock, so bolt-on only.

I just kept the stock lights and put in Silverstar Ultras.

Somebody on here has those lights. Start a thread using my pic and see who has them.

Hope the terra's are too!.

The Trail Grapplers are definately better in the woods when there are leaves on the ground. Needed 4wd to get turned around on a trail Sunday with the Terra's. The Trails also worked well in deeper snow. I don't think they would be much good in a small amount of snow or slick conditions. They have no siping and there is limited ground contact due to the large spaces between the lugs. If the snow isn't deep enough to bite into, I think an AT would be better.

I will say that the Terra's have a much nicer ride on the pavement. Nice and quiet and smooth. Waiting to see what my mpg is with them.

Looks great man! So glad you ditched those ricer headlights though! I'd seriously consider re-gearing asap. Your killing your mpg, your trans and overall performance of the truck with that lift and stock gears... I just finally re-geared mine (5" RCS with 35's) and it made a world of difference!

Spring time. It will be fine through winter, and it's not like I push my truck anyway. I go easy on the gas.

So I had a wheel bearing go down and my rotors are in rough shape. Just ordered EBC sport rotors, EBC green supreme pads for the front and green for the rear. These pads are supposed to be really low dust with good stopping power. We'll see in about a week.
Someone with a lifted supercrew and 31's posted a review and was really happy with this same combo.
I was going to get hawk ceramic, but had trouble finding the front pads.
