Very nice! Much nicer looking wheels. How do you like the Open Countrys over the A/T KOs?

Well I've had the BFG's for almost five years so I thinkanything new would feel better. My first impression of the Toyos was amazing, smooth as silk feel great. Happy as a pig in sh*t!

Yes, its stock, although torsion bars cranked almost to max. Had to trim small bit off lower valance due to rubbing in reverse only.

I thought those were Moto Metal 951's, but they aren't.

It looks alot better.

It looks alot more modern now.

To me, I think those slotted wheels look like an older 4x4's truck rims. Looks way better now.
