Well, in your album it says: "ive purchased airaid inkate and throttle spacer, a superchip, gibson exhaust and some 35" bfgoodrich tires, they'll be installed by the end of the week", so I'd say you've already done a lot of shopping.

Can you tell us more about where you bought the "throttle spacer" and the "superchip"? Just curious.

well, I'm done arguing about aftermarket stuff...

but does it strike you as peculiar that you can only get the airraid throttle body spacer from airraid.com and not from any distributors?

If you are referring to the "appearance" of your MACHINE...nah - I think it looks GREAT.

Which of the Gibson exhaust systems did you get? I want to replace mine but still can't find exactly what I want. Where did you purchase it and how much?

The POWERAID® TBS concept was developed to enhance mid-range power, torque and fuel efficiency. The unique dyno-proven "Helix Bore" of the POWERAID® TBS causes a spinning action of the incoming air-charge as it passes through the throttle body. This extremely beneficial air-charge carries all the way into the combustion chamber, producing a super-atomized mixture, which produces tremendous gains in mid-range power and overall efficiency. This is the key element to the horsepower success behind each POWERAID® TBS.
"super-atomizing mixture"

ristuccia got any pics of your truck with the 35" bfg tires if you have installed them yet? Would love to see what it looks like to tell what mine is going to look like someday when I get the money to spend on either the bfg or toyo m/t 35" tires. Great lookin truck by the way.

I can't decide which one to go with. The bfg's are 34.8" tall and the toyo's are 35" tall. The bfg's sell for about $60 a tire less where I'm at. Other than that I think they are mostly the same, but I'm liking the looks of the toyo's just alittle bit more. What rims are you going to put the tires on or are you going to mount them on the stock rims?

im just going to be keeping the stock rims. it was harder to find off-road tires that fit 18" rims than if they were 16 or so but i like the stock rims just fine. how much can you find them for, just wondering now i did with the price.
