Okay so it has been awhile. I have done much since my last post.
I added a 3" Ready Lift SST
Extended all breathers
Front winch(hitch)
rear winch quick connects
fog lights
alarm
Z110BT Stereo
Muffler removed.
Sub-1000W amp

With the current lift, I am supposed to be able to fit 33" tires. So I went to discount tire today and ordered a pair of the Goodyear Wrangler Kevlar tires size (305/70/16)

Anyone have any input / review on the Kevlar tires. Right now I got the BFG TA/KO AT
I spend most of my time in the mud, as such this past weekend I got into about 5 feet of mud.. flooded the back end.... Stripped everything out and going to just spray bed liner down and then put the carpet back in on top so if this happens again it wont be so hard to clean.
I also drive in sand as I visit padre island national sea shore 4x4 every other month or so.
Thanks for reading!!

EDIT:
Also looking for a programmer!!
Let me know if you got any suggestions for a 03 v8 4x4 sr5

I'm thinking about getting a set of 255/75/17 Kevlars when I order my 3" Toytec Ultimate Lift. I want to see how the 33s look when you get them on.
 
I should have them on by Friday. Been busy had to rip the entire inside back of the car out, seats and all. I got into about 5' of mud and it came in through the rear end wheel well. there is some sort of vent back there that it flooded through... guess i should not have stopped and backed up... Got to get it cleaned up, should have the pictures posted by Sat morning.
Also just added a Dynomax Bullet Muffler to get rid of the str8 pipe popping along with a tip to piss the neighbors off just a tad bit more...
 
Tires are on. Damn they are bigger than I thought. Size: 305/70/16

They hardly fit and rub on the upper A-Arm when turning. At this point I am going to just not turn so sharp. It is not the tire that rubs it is the mud grips that stick out. Debating on extending the lugs or just adding spacers. Not sure yet. but I also had to cut into the front bumper(inner guards) and remove the front mud flaps. I still get some rub when I hit a large bump when turning. :dammit:

Will post pictures soon. I need to clean it up still dirty from last weekend. Cant wash it till this weekend is over since I will be testing the new tires to the extreme!

Will get a few picts up just to show the size and such later today.

I'm looking at the same tire. Why would you go 255/75/17 when they make the 275/70/17? The 275's are only slightly larger, with the width being 0.79" greater...

I wouldn't have attempted anything larger than 285's. I applaud your balls! Now you have to get some new UCA's...
