truck looks great, I've got the AT3s which are very similar and i love them. Curious why you didn't go with another set of wardens tho because I've been interested in a set. How was the wear, noise level, balancing and off road traction on them?

Love my ATP's so far..The Wardens were originally great, they road well and were balanced correctly. They were by default just plain heavy, but when I got them rotated and balanced a second time, they just werent the same and didnt ride right. I tried getting the problem worked out, and that seems to be the main issue, getting someone at a tire place to listen to you and install and balance the tires the way they are meant to be. They were loud and rode harsh too, I decided they were more work than they were worth considering these Coopers I got were just $100 more or so. Hope this info helps

Exactly the info I was looking for. The Coopers are fantastic, have had them on for 10k and still ride like a dream. Great traction on and off road too. Just wish I had gone with the 285s

How big was the holes in the grill? Because I bought the same exact logo! I just don't know if it will fit any of the grill things Other people have been using... Thanks man!
 
Hey man, I wanted to ask you about your white 4runner, looks like you sold that a while back, but I'm interested in the front bumper, what did you do to it? It looked like a stock bumper and you chopped the bottom half off. I can't find and write ups on a mod like that.

Did I guess right? Did it help with clearance and wheel scrubbing?

Cheers.

Did he sell this? Why no updates?

Wow, long time no update on my end. Life gets in the way I guess.

Recently moved for a job, was traveling/commuting a lot and needed something more comfortable/reliable/better on gas.

But I sold the rig to my father in law for a second vechicle for him. So I still see it often and miss it most days.

I need to check in more often, still love the community.

Cheers
 
Yo Trailhead! Learned a ton from your build and swap, thanks for the great photos! One question about your PlastiDip experience - you had mentioned that you re-painted about twice a year, what condition was the plastidip in that made you want to repaint? Was it chipping or fading? Thanks in advance.
