I realize you see millions of these pictures but figured i would post a couple more because I just got them installed. The pictures don't nearly do justice to how much better they look in person.

How about a shot of those tail light guards. All the pics on here are old and not working anymore. How was the install of them?

Love the tires by the way... My next set WILL be those.
 
it's too dark now to get a good shot of the taillight guards, i will take some tomorrow though. the install was pretty easy, they just screw into the tail light
 
What brand guard is that on the front? I like how close it fits and doesn't stick out to far. How much and where? :-)
 
nevermind, I see your sig... Manik, Where did you get it? I want Black, but I only see Stainless...

Dang Mike! That looks sweet man. I'm so torn between the BFG AT KOs or Nitto Terra Grapplers. The BFGs in my opinion look better, but I think the Nittos may perform better in the wet. Form or Function, hard to decide sometimes.
 
yah i had the same problem. I decided though that I really liked both and just decided to pick one. and I dont know if it really means anything but i believe on directtire.com the BFGs got a better rating...

i'm loving them though!

Nevermind. I see where you posted some PICS HERE. Looks good.
 
Looks awesome !!

Aren't those 16" rims ?

Did you get 265/70/16 or 265/75/16 ????

They dont look like 17's to me but I'm probably wrong. I thought those rims were 16"

Anyway who gives a crap it looks damn nice , and damn nice tires , love the silver w/ the black guards too. nicely done !!!!

Any little lift plans in the future ?

I had to go back and look at the pics again they look so cool. Me and another member were thinking of doing a 1" front leveling lift. That would look good on your truck...:biggrin2:

When money is no longer an option I plan on getting a 3/2 cornfed lift. They are 17" rims, so the tires are 265/70/17 however there was an option from toyota for 16" rims like that, I chose 17 thoguh.

Thank you for the compliments!

Ahhhh , that explains that ! Still looks nice though !
Tires look meaty on there.
 
A 3/2 lift is to much for those size tires in my opinion. It looks out of portion with the 265's. Maybe some wider rims might help a little. Personally I would go with a 2/1 at most.

Just and observation of what I've seen here on lifts. If they trim & stuff and run 285's then a 3/2 looks good.

Not really into big lifts , just something to set things off a little bit. You know that even with a 3/2 lift it won't change the ground clearance at the rear axle from what you have now. Only taller tires can do that.

1" leveling kit would look good IMO.

I disagree. The 265/70 will still look great with a 3" lift.

Ok , you can disagree with my opinion. I just think the tires look to small with that much lift.

Still does not change the axle clearance though and might make it more prone to roll being top heavy.

They still look nice just my opinion , maybe a set of 8" rims would help with the look if the stuck out slightly further.

OK after a second look and a second drool they dont look bad , long as you have the right tires that show a little bite to them. The Cornfed has the nicest stance IMO. The tires do make a diff. in the look of it being tougher. It would look a little less tough with Revos on it since they have more of an all season tread.

To lift or not to lift

I just bought the same tires and it looks great. It had 235/65 17's on it, so there is a huge difference. The front looks a little tight, so I hope to try to Cornfed lift.

Falls-you are right about ground clearance, but a lift will help with articulation. Ever see someone put fat meats on a truck without lifting it? I went to Paragon in Hazelton, PA (off-road adventure park...full day tours and awesome wheeling) and I was behind a fool with brand new larger meats on a Sideflip without a lift. His fenders trashed the new tires so bad that he ended up rolling his fender with a screw driver to get clearance for the articulation. By the end of the day, the outer lugs were flapping as he drove around. :bash: Brilliant.

Anyway, I understand how it does look a bit tall, but lifting always helps. Just like a T4R sticker is good for 20 horsepower!

I understand, but was not thinking sticking way out like a geto crusier , just even with the fender wells at best. Thanks for the tip on the TR4 sticker for the extra HP.
 
I run the 265/70/17 tires with the 3" OME lift. I like the combo personaly and don't plan on going larger because I like being able to still use the spare tire storage.
