Just got my 37"x13.5" E load Toyo MTs on 17"x9"x +20mm offset Raceline Avengers. Had to take off front mudflaps and still need to do some inner fender trimming.

Dang you’re right! That’s a lot of Chrome too. Don’t rock crawl in the Rockies...they will definitely give you grief about it. Lol the sayin’ is “ chrome won’t get you home”
I take it you read my post a few weeks out on the ram that got blacked out?? I’m not haten’ the deferent looks shows off the difference in the packages we can get in the PW. Plus I think I will get out voted on this page if I pose the question: does that much chrome belong off road?

You can....but you’d be wrong lol. I like to prove people wrong

I imagine it feels something like this? Lol j/k

I’m coming from a Jeep then a Raptor to my PW and the switch backs are little different now when I’m off road in this beast!

Switchbacks can be a pain....i Usually have to back up once to get through. On a couple now and then it’s 3 or 4 times to get turned. Haven’t hit one yet I can’t make it through. Now that said it requires scratches and some people aren’t willing to do that

Well, as we all know, regardless if you have a chromed out Laramie or the newer blacked out stickered up jobbies, or even a tradesman power wagon... they all have the same running gear and perform the same off road. Does the chrome help off road performance (or on road performance for that matter)? Well no. But it does not hurt it either. It's simply for aesthetics. Some like it, some don't.

Those stickers don't help you off road LOL. Do stickers belong off road?

And no, I don't think I saw your post on the blacked out ram.

No but the “stickers” show Identification, like Superman and the red cape. Lol

no on the 2019 power wagons the front camera is super helpful when off roading. Also what is included in a power wagon on a 19 is the front end is just a little bit higher and offers a couple degrees better angle approach then past models. I’m not sure if you can order the tradesman with those 2 options or not.

I envy your tires. I want to get 13.5 on stock rims but I know the 37s /12.5 will slightly rub so the 13.5 will force me to do a 1/2- 1” spacer and trim some plastic

Hey, I'm a product of the 70s & 80s. Those decades were all about the chrome. I like the old school look. Anyway, the photos don't show well that those wheels have subtle black accents in the shadows and a machined face look (not chrome). They were supposed to come with black center caps, not the chrome. I have a message into Custom Offsets to get the right ones. I'm actually going for a mix of chrome and black. My RED light bar is black. I plan to drop the OE chrome steps and install black White Knuckle sliders. I have my eye on Thuren's high clearance front bumper in black. However, the grill is gonna stay chrome bullseye all the way. Not a fan of the black Sanchez they have going on the late models.
