Thanks...funny that I stressed so much on the tires but I love them; track very well and hardly any increased noise.

Wow! I am so jelly right now. Congrats man, it is beautiful.

How do you like the tires? Noise level? Curious how loud they are at 75 mph.

Thanks Ron! I love the tires. Not loud at all even at highway speed; you know they are there as louder than the stock tires but nowhere near as loud as mudders. I think the noise is comparable to the Duratracs I had which is not bad at all. But they drive great and handle very well too so far.

Thanks Shane...!
 
Looking real good! Makes me wish I would have went with a 17x9 instead of 17x8.

Any rubbing? can you post some pics of the body mount chop...

What about road manners and noise levels of the tires so far.

Thanks for the great compliment! Hopefully the roof rack won't detract from the clean look I was hoping for.

Thank you! No rubbing at all although they did trim quite a bit off the front splash guard and had to do the body mount chop on the frame. But the rebox work is excellent as it looks very clean and stock. I didn't take a real good pic of the work yet but here is a quick photo I took on one side:



Regarding the new Coopers, I think they are great! I took the truck up to 70 mph on the way home and no issues at all; tracked straight with no vibrations or walking. Also took a curve near my house that I like to have fun with and they gripped just fine. I will give a better update after some more miles and when I actually take them on the trail, but so far I am loving them. Also not noisy at all; you know they are there as louder than the Dunlops but no louder than the Duratracs I ran and a whole lot quieter than the Nittos and BFG I have used.
 
Nice wheel choice. I started out the same way with the nfabs until I took it offroad. Hit a couple rocks on the drivers side which ended up bending the bottom of the main tube. Also one of the brackets that mounts to the body got bent up as well. I went with bump out sliders now to protect from the rocks and the doors from idiots who don't care about your truck. Well hope you have better luck than I did with the nfabs. Rig is looking saweeet.

Thanks Keemonrunnin!

Yeah, I have no doubt that the n-Fabs would not survive any real crawling but I purchased them more for the wife so she had a real step to use. I can see having to maybe change out down the road!
