Nitto Trail Grapplers LT295/70-R18 on 2004 Blazing Yellow FX4

Finally got the tires I wanted - after 7 years of hating the BFGoodrich Rugged Trails.

Linked a few pics below and there are a few more in the Gallery.

Looks great! Reminds me of the F150 Tonka concept truck a few years back. The black sidewalks look nice.

Thanks all! The tires were definitely worth the scratch and will come in handy up here in NY when the snow flies.

I have been thinking about that size tire on stock wheels when my crappy rugged trails wear out too. I have mud flaps also and wondered if you have had any rubbing issues with them? It looks like it may be close around the rear tire. Truck looks good!

CJB - I was a little concerned about the mudflaps and was just about certain that they would have to come off. Turns out that they are good to go both in the front and the rear. It is tight, but I probably have 1-2" clearance in the rear; a little less in the front. Go for it! You won't regret it.

So that's what my truck would look like with trail grapplers. It's good to see another yellow FX4 on here. Looks great man!

Thanks! I like the look of your grill and the FX4 badge on the front! Nice touch. Good to see someone else thought the Harley headlights would look good on Blazing yellow! I think I was the first to try it and post about it back in ~2006. I still like how it looks.
