Thx for the info 03Fx4JD.

Just found a vendor who had the Toyo AT 2 in the size I wanted! Here's to hoping they didn't make a mistake anyway they should ship out of Missouri on Monday and hopefully get to me by end of next week at the latest.

My bilsteins will be here by the 6th and they will be going on shortly thereafter.

I ordered my bilsteins 5100 for front and rear for $330 total to include shipping.

My tires are from SimpleTire.com and they even gave me a military discount of 8%! Very pleased! Hope they're the right size and type since about 12-15 places i called didn't have them or informed me of the national back order.

I'll keep ha posted for whoever is interested.

Just got her fronts tinted to match though it looks lighter (prob due to the huge piece of glass in the front). Got the brow done too. Normally don't but i was soooo close to getting the entire windshield tinted at 40%. Just didn't want to deal with insurance claims in case I got into a fender bender or worse.






Bilstiens didn't come in today but it's all good. The rears will be here first then the fronts sometime next week. No update on tires except there's a UPS tracking number without further update which means nothing to me. I'll believe it when they arrive fresh and smelling of brand new rubbers (so to speak?)

Yes, you will have the fresh smell of rubber! Lol. I had the G2's sitting in the garage for about 3 days before I had them installed and that's all you could smell.

Thanks man! I went through an online dealer. I searched everywhere for these tires and everyone was out of stock. Finally called Simpletire.com and spoje to them before ordering. They basically find vendors and try to match the best price. I also got a military discount which took off about $110 so the deal was very good for me.

Me too, but it was definitely worth it.
