So far so good. No scratches yet, but we'll see how they handle during the winter.

They're actually pretty forgiving, I ordered the basic install kit along with them. It comes with a snap blade utility knife, a squeegee with a soft fabric side so you don't mar the surface, a microfiber cloth and adhesion/ cleaning solution. I sprayed the hell out of the tacky side and the pillar it self with the solution so it was easy to manipulate. Once you have it where you want it you can squeegee all the liquid and air bubbles out. Don't worry about overhang I used the utility knife that came with the install kit and adjusted it so it wouldn't cut into the door trim or window seals, and used the plastic pillar edges as guides to cut the overhang in straight lines. If I do this again I know what to do to make it look right. One more thing, if you do on getting these just double check to make sure what vinyl goes on what pillar. They had labeled the location for what pillar and what side incorrectly on the vinyl application backing on the kit I recieved.

Default Added bbk throttle body

Installed today still going thru relearn process. Did already notice throttle response is smoother. And before someone says not worth $500 mod I did not spend that, I only did this mod due to a killer deal on it I paid 150. Mods I have already done include air raid cai, magnaflow 19054 exhaust,exits before rear tire.

Had 5100s installed upfront at 1.25” setting. Feels great driving, front fenders don’t look stuffed anymore as well. Waiting to wash truck up to post pics.

Took a road trip to do some college recruiting at Virginia Tech. First road trip with my new boots on. The truck was great and the balance on the new Nitto Ridge Grapplers was perfect. Passing acceleration was a breeze. Very happy with the Nittos -- highly recommended. Amazing how quiet these tires are given the aggressive tread. Got about 20 mpg round trip.

Next mod - trim the front air dam. After that, start looking at the interior again.

Ridgegrapplers are amazing, quality tires.

And they're Georgia made.
