Default Got the new tires on!

after debating on lifts and wheels and tires i decided with gas goin the way it is to keep my truck the stock height with excpetion to the leveling kit so i can stick stock tires back up under it whenever i wanted to and it not look stupid. and after looking at so many diffrent wheels i decided to stick with the stockers because its something diffrent that not many people do and besides, i think they look good, so basically i did a lot of work and research for nothing, but my bank account is alot happier for it. i got some brand new nitto mud grapplers 35x12.50x18 for $750 cause a guy ordered them from a local tire shop and never paid for em and after them sitting around for 3 months i finally talked the guys into giving me a deal on em, love em and they ride like like your on glass. Since christmas i have added hatchie bottom custom-fit max4 neoprence seat covers and black bull bar soon to be replaced by a ranch hand. tell me what ya think

She looks good! I'm really suprised you were able to fit those under there... I have the same tire, but in 17's. You'll love these tires! Great traction in any condition, and they balance REALLY well.

I've had mine on for about 5k miles now... they are loud, and only get louder with wear, but what else do you expect from an M/T? They aren't crazy loud though, and don't inhibit your ability to listen to the radio or talk on the phone

smlducks-yea they are the custom fit seat covers from hatchie bottom

ChrisO-they arent that bad, my superswamper m-16s were louder but i know they will get loud with age, i only have 1,000 miles on em as of now and i can listen to my radio at normal level and talk on the phone with the windows down no problem


RaiderH8r89-thanks! yea i was too bit i just put a 1/4" spacer up front and it brings the rim/tire just far enough not to hit the UCA. and they dont scrub unless i make a REALLy sharp turn but i do have my fenders modded just a tad.by the way, love your truck!

AZFX4- thanks man!

Great find, my brother in law got the same tires, spent over a G for them. Looks great on the truck too.
Outta curiosity what bull bar is that? Because I had almost decided totally on a ranch hand bull nose bumper but that looks really, really good to me.
