Snap! Looks much better than the 20's, I like a wheel with some meat to it and now I know what my next tire purchase will be. Hadn't even thought about MT tires, when I wore a younger mans clothes I was a drag strip junkie, that brand was well known for awesome strip tires, never imagined they made truck tires.
I took the truck for some errands this morning, its a totally different feeling, less road noise, smoother ride. U should consider them
That on the side, the headers have a slight leak on the passenger side at the flare, since the factory manifold bolts directly to the Y pipe without the use of any kind of gasket or O-ring. The mechanic told me to use it normally so the headers will heat and take it shape and bring it back to the workshop to tighten back the bolts. In the worst case scenario, if the leak doesnt fade they will use an O-ring. Does it make sense?

now i have to figure out what to do with the gap between the front bumper and fender.. I was about to get the N-Fab RDS bumper, but hesitated.. any suggestions? Keeping in mind i like the Pre-Runner look.
Also, im still waiting on the Foxshox to arrive, production took a while, hope its worth the wait!

I love the RSP bumper, but i already had it on my previous ride. The RDS has really grown in me. I also read somewhere that RPG have a new bumper for the F159, yet to be released shortly, which im waiting for. Or maybe ADD stealth, who knows

I did some minor changes in the past few days.. somehow the final exterior look is coming to an end.. I always liked the OEM front grille look, also the PTM bumpers. I precedently debated on either changing the bumper to a pre-runner bumper, the thought is still there but for the time being im enjoying the new look.. i'll let the pics do the talk.
