I gotthe same color but in a quad. Love that color. What gears do you have? How are the 35 s?

I have the 3.92 gears and so far so good. 35's feel really good, and brakes are handling much better than I thought they would. I expected some fade or reduced capability but I haven't noticed any drop. Right now the only real difference I have noticed is in the front suspension travel. It feels like it has been shortened although I know it really hasn't. I guess it's just a feeling.

Thanks.
The shop I used for the install ordered the tires. I was shopping around for a good A/T tire at a good price and these fit the bill pretty good. Not sure what the difference is between the other version (non-extreme) other than it's a newer version.

These came with a 50K mile warranty and had pretty decent reviews. I haven't noticed a snow symbol but now I'll look for it.

I didn't need spacers because I kept the backspacing on the wheels under 5 inches. The ATX Artillery wheels have a 4.53 backspace. No spacers!!!

Very proud of it!!!

Here ya go Texas.

By the way The Toyo Onen Country EXTREME means it's an EXTREME size apparently. Toyo usea that designation for their bigger tire sizes. I'm cool with that. lol

What I meant is the CST spindles push out the front wheels 1 1/2. Inches on all our trucks, so we put spacers on the rear, to make the front wheels stick out the same as the back,it doesn't bother some, and they just leave it alone

Your truck looks fantastic. Can you please tell me what window visors you have? I would like to get some too. They look very good.

Thanks.

Duhhh..sorry man. That went right by me. lol. That difference hasn't bothered me yet. I'll have to find a way to drive behind my truck sometime to see how different it looks. I may look into spacers eventually but not too concerned right now.

Paul,

Those are AVS visors, the out of channel kind. I was never a fan of the in channel visors.
