joneseyyy Congrats! Looks like Maho Bay, St. John. It doesn't get any better than that!

I personally have the 17" six shooters and love the wheel. If I was doing it over, I would really consider the BFD, simply because there's better selection of 275" tires for the 18" wheel. There are a ton of options in the 275/65/18, particularly if you want to stay with a load range C, or even...

On second look, the tire pattern between the two tires looks very similar. http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/tires/t_20110624.copvl9.xl.jpg http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/tires/t_20111101.copvl0.xl.jpg

mook21, thank you for sharing your experience. Besides the mpg improvement, did you notice a difference in overall acceleration or stopping? When I switched from a set of P285 Toyo A/Ts to LT285 Mickey Thompson ATZs (very similar weight difference to your experience -- 44lbs vs. 55lbs...

Shoreline Blue FTW!!! Glad it's no longer offered, making it even more rare. In my area, I've only seen the SB in Limited trim.

For what it's worth, I ran P-metric 285/70R17 Toyo A/T's without a lift on stock wheels and had minimal rubbing at the front liner - did the front fender liner mod and the rubbing was gone. I think 2.5" of lift in the front will be ample to clear the 255/80R17 ST Maxx. The key is keeping the...

Truck looks great - curious about the size of the Toyo M/T's. TIA!

I would think that the weight of the specific 285/75 tire you're looking at should also be considered. The 295/70/17 Nitto Trail Grapplers are really heavy at 71lbs, where the 285/75 BFG KM2 weighs 62 lbs. The 285/75 KM2 is 33.9" tall vs. the 295/70 Trail is 33.5" tall (radius difference of...

I got 1.75-2" of lift in the rear with the SAWs. That seems to be the consensus with others that have installed them as well. I think it's the perfect match to 3" of lift in the front (perfectly level frame rails, about 1" rake at the fenders). With 285/70/17's, I'm right at 39" in the rear...

Saw a silver SR5 ('10-'13) with Satoshi grill and TRD forged wheels with BFG ATs in the Brookhaven/Atlanta, GA area, parked behind the Verde Restaurant. I did a slow creep driving by to checked out the wheels - looked good. :-) Are you here?

Thanks. I think you'll need to reach out to FNWheels because the light gunmetal is a standard color on the Countersteer X, while on mine (Six Shooter), Dustin custom powdercoated the wheels since light gunmetal was not a standard color. I believe the Countersteer X is a painted finish from...

That's going to look great. Between the 295's (wider and taller than most have on the forum) and the negative offset on the wheels however, expect some rubbing, even with the Toytec lift. Post pictures when you get it all installed!

Interesting. I would consider running a t-slot bolt (or button head cap screw that fits snuggly in the channel) in the top awning channel and place/rest on top of the rail, and a second t-slot bolt through the rail (drill a hole just large enough for the bolt to cross the rail). On the other...

kdp1999 I see that the top channel on the awning frame runs above the rack. Does the bottom channel run below the rack rail? What's the width between channel on the awning frame? You could use t-slot bolts on the awming side and a nice backing plate on the other side of the rack frame...

Too late... Nope, not even close.... I know the internet makes people "speak" with no filter, but geez, there was a better way of making the point politely.
