Noticeable difference from the 285 MTRs?
Trying to see how big i can go without having to regear haha. I've seen many regear with 285/75/17 with toyo open country M/T but have read that those tires are heavier than other M/T.

The toyo's are definitely heavy. After driving for a few days with the 315's I've decided I'm going to re-gear. the only question now is 4.56 or 4.88. I ordered a sprint booster to help out in the mean time but i'm leaning towards the 4.56.
I'm going to a baja race here in a couple of weeks so i'll find out real quick how hard it is to Wheel with 315's. I hope i come back with fenders....

Looking great! Our PelfreyBilt bumper is on it's way and we'll be switching it out next week. Sounds like we made the same switch as you for the same reasons. Can't wait to get it installed.

There are at least a couple of aluminum options. I'm heavily leaning toward the Hefty Fabworks bumper both because it has the option for aluminum and because it pays homage to the existing styling.

I just noticed your Shrockworks bumper for sale on ExPo and was wondering what you were getting next.
i think you'll be very happy with the weight savings.

Thanks. Yeah definitely looking forward to it. I almost started with the PelfreyBilt but thought I liked the looks of the Shrockworks better. After getting it mounted it just left some things to be desired. But then after seeing one in person at Overland Expo West in May I couldn't get it off my mind. Add the weight savings on top of that and I think it's going to be a good switch.

Can't leave anything good well enough alone....so here are 315's.
I love the new look of the bumper. I've just finished reading your build thread and your well documented build has made my decision making process so much easier.
Thanks for the awesome documentation and build!

Thanks man, I wish I was able to document in more detail but when I get into things, the last thing on my mind is taking photos.

Love the look of your NVs with the bolts painted black! I want to do this with my wheels since i'm not a huge fan of the silver "fake" locks.
How did you paint yours? did you remove every bolt and powder coat, or just rattle can?

Thanks, I removed every bolt and painted them. time consuming but worth the change in look.

Looking for some more info on your frontrunner rack install. Are the shorter feet a custom thing, or is it an option from them? Also where'd you get the shorter antenna and how tall is the rack from the top of the roof in this configuration? Trying to figure out if I'll clear my garage. Thanks

Thanks [MENTION=138336]Cozen89[/MENTION]. When I ordered my rack it was all spare parts due to there not being a full length option. The feet I'm using are their 40mm for the rear 6 and 50mm for the front. I'll try to get you a measurement as soon as I can.
