The new shoes

So after a long long time (2 years of talk) I have finally started taking care of business. Awhile back I asked you all on opinions on tires and with that did a ton of research.

Researched tires such as
Toyo's M/T
Goodyear wrangler mtr with kavlar
Cooper STT
Mickey mtz
nitto trail grapplers

and many other tires... Finally what I fell in love with was the Nitto Mud grapplers. Their 35x12.50x17. Of course I had to go the lift (5" Rough Country suspension lift) + wheels (94r blk with chrome inserts) route as well so this is what I came up with in the end. Tell me what you think and what you might recommend to make it mesh a little more... Origionally I was nervous that the way the black and chrome might not look too good with the truck but after all said and done, I am very pleased. Yet to see my wheels around here at all, and 2 other sets of the tires so far.
















Next on the list is a new exhaust combo. She now looks the part, but I also want her to talk the part!

thanks guys! jsvo, i really like the way you have your lights custom. Did you get them that way? I have very much been looking into the option of getting black housing for mine (whole new setup there). Imagine it will look great not only with the truck but with the wheels. The more black to contrast the merrier I feel.

Looks great man. Does it sound like an airplane is chasing you down the highway?

Thanks! It does look a bit mean which is what I love!

As for the airplane, I wouldnt say chasing is the right word, atleast in my experience. I feel like if I added wings to the truck i could just fly away. Love the sound though.. Also love slowing down. The way the tire sounds during the process is just a total eye turner, and must say that the ladies love it.

For anyone that likes noise, these tires are it.

Love the look! Great combo, lots of tire and smaller rims. Nice ride height too.

thanks guys! I need quit being lazy and take it up to one of the views. Would look good up there.

Its funny what a little bit of editing will do on pics. My camera is nothing special but using photoscape lets you clean the picture up a lot.. Really lets the picture shine a little more.. plus its free
