Nice Set up! I am in the process of workingon mine. Did you have to do any cutting on the inner splash shield of the lower front valance witht eh 18X9 (4.5 BS -12mm offset) and I believe the tires are 33x13.5?

 

Truck looks good.

 

Nice, tasteful truck.

 

very clean tastefull truck

i must say that truck has a REALLY great stance.

 

yup....some easy trimming, and removed one of the bolts that holds the fenderflare on, but its not needed, and an angle cut of a few inches on front valence

 

oh also....if you plan on gettinf the AF1 CAI then get the Troyer XCalII cause the AF1 absically requires a custom tune for it.

theres been a few people i think iwhtout a tune but they have gotten some CEL's.

 

You have a nice clean look for the truck, I like it!

If I were you I would raise the rear of the truck up a bit. To me leveled is nice, my truck sat leveled for over a year, but with just a little rake I think our trucks look great. A few months ago I was debating on doing something to my truck to get some rake back, I bought some Firestone Ride-Rite airbags and with 20psi in them I have 1" of rake back and also really like how the truck rides now, it was just too soft of ride before for my taste.

As for tunes with either the XCal II or the Edge you cant go wrong, IMO. Granted I would like some custom tunes, but I love having the gauges when I am towing.

 

looks perfect. If i had a 4wd thats exactly what i would want it to sit like

 

Thats a sharp looking truck. Where did you get your exaust from??

 

 

Looks real good!

I absolutely love those tires, I might by some at the end of the summer.

How do you like them?

 

Good job

 

They are my first mud tires...I ran the stock BFG's for about the first month or so I had the truck, then I got these. As far as I can tell compared to what I have "heard" about other mud tires: These are not bad on the road. They are siped (my buddy also says) they are decent in winter. A lil loud, but they are a Mud Tire, Not too bad to annoy you and doesn't interfere with radio. From what I know about your Toyo MT's, the toyos are probably a lil more on road and the Mickey T's are probably a lil more offroad, but I would say they are probably both a great comprimising crossover tire. And i also LOVE how my Mickey T's look
