My new TE came in a few days early. I was very surprised to get a call from the truck driver saying it would be delivered the next day when I was expecting it in 6 more days.

Just put my new Revo 2 LT tires on today and now I am ready to go. Got them from Discount Tire. They price matched Tirerack. Then they convinced me to get the TPMS rebuild. I didn't think I needed that on a new vehicle but they explained the rubber washer gets compressed whenever you put on new tires. So I got it anyway and they gave them to me for $2 each instead of $8.

I was surprised that my TE came with Dunlop Grandtrek AT20 tires instead of the Bridgestone that I think most get. I traded them in to Discount Tire and only got $50 each. Probably could have sold them locally for more.

I bought the ARB deflator for off roading and from my reading it is recommended to have a couple spare valve cores in case something goes wrong. Can you please tell me which size to order. I asked for a couple at DT but then forget to get them as I was leaving. Thanks.

I have never had compliments before on any car I have owned. The guys at DT just loved it and I talked with a couple who couldn't get over how nice it was. They were surprised I was getting new tires on a new vehicle so I explained they were tough tires for off roading. I then picked up my daughter from school and I received more compliments. I am not used to this much attention but I guess I better get used to it. :tongue:

Congrats to your new TE!
I got the same silver TE last month. I also got compliments from colleagues and people checking it out at parking lot.
Mine also came with the Dunlop Grandtreck AT20 which surprised me as well.
Enjoy your ride!
 
Dude that is an awesome looking truck!! I am very partial to the color. Congratulations! I am looking at getting the Revo's as well. Would love to see some close up pics of the Revo's on it.

i was a little surprised when people started complimenting my TE. one compliment stood out - a tech at the shop where i had my tint done told me that it was a really really nice truck.

there was a brand new maserati gran turismo right next to it.

i thanked him, but told him he couldn't possibly compliment my 4runner with a maserati next to it. he laughed and said the maserati was nice, but it couldn't go up a hill :)
 
Thanks everyone. Reata: I took a few pics of the new tires for you. They are a little dirty and the stickers are still on. Unfortunately I have been trying to upload the pics all night and it isn't working for some reason. I will have to try again tomorrow. Stay tuned.
 
Here are my pics. Tires aren't very clean though.

Thanks again everyone. Since I was looking for valve cores and a tool to use in case something happens with using the deflator, I though it might be a good idea to get a tire repair kit as insurance. I found this and thought it was quite nifty. Compact and includes everything.

Product : Extreme Outback
 
I just checked the psi of my new tires and the guys at DT only put in 32lbs for my LT tires and this was after I told them to put 46 in. Oh well, I get to test my new VIAIR inflator.
