Local I do a lot of IT work for some of the the tire shops around here. I got all 4 mounted and balanced plus road hazard for $1050 a lot cheaper than what I was thinkin I would pay.

Well I offered him $13,500 and he took it, so I put a deposit on the truck and hopefully fri or sat I will be going to down to central fl to pick it up. I'm paying a little more than I wanted for it but I really like it and feel that it's a clean used truck (just what I was lookin for) but if for some reason this truck is not described to what he has said it is, then I will bring my happy *** back to south GA and keep lookin for another truck. But if it is what he has described then I will bring it back home and start stripping a buch of stuff off of it and see if I can have any luck selling a laundry list of items.

The biggest difference between that one and mine is the lariat vs mine being a XLT.

Is you're truck just leveled to clear those Toyo's? And do you by chance have a 1" block in the rear or is it stock? Any rubbing?

So was the trip worth it? Nope the truck is still stock I've been wanting to level it just because I think it would look better. I've had no rubbing issues at all, I was a little worried about it at first, but now I drive just like I use to with no issues.

Yeah it's a really clean truck for being almost 10 years old, just what I was lookin for. I have to level mine out, it's nosed over fairly good and then I going to put that size tire on. I just can't decide between the toyo m/t or the nitto trail grapplers.

That's awesome man, I'm glad it was worth the trip! Both tires are a good choice I know a few folks with the Nitto's and it seems like they are wearing faster than my Toyo's. They both look great on the trucks though. I went with the Toyo's because I had good luck with there h/t's( came on the truck when purchased).

Yeah I seen some reviews on the trail grapplers that people said they were wearing down faster than they thought they would but there could a several different things going on there also that would make them wear super fast. But on the other hand I've seen reviews were they said they were wearing great, so who knows. Like I said in a previous post I've 4 sets of toyo m/t's and was just wanting to try something a little different.
