Once again the guys at European Auto Repair took care of me. Gears are great, big difference. The only thing I'm looking into is my shift points, seems to shift pretty quickly on me. The drive was cool- Saw a nice sun rise in Arizona, Mississippi is a really nice lookin' state, and we got a great sun set over the water as we came into Florida. Made it here in 3 days lol. We'll be able to see much much more when it comes time to the return trip home.


Thanks for all the comments guys. I'm working on getting some more pictures up as I realize that there are many other shots I haven't taken. Didn't notice until when I was posting last night that all the pictures are of the right side haha.

<-- Wtf?
I was wondering what the hell that thing was too !

I gotta say, I was surprised the 35's didn't look small with everything cranked up. Wasn't too bad of a setup, but man does that new setup fill in perfect !

Thanks for the kind words. Glad the trip was a good one. The shift points are way off due to the size tires, plus the gearing. Like I was telling you, I would look into custom tunes. I personally like the Gryphon from PHP. Oustanding customer service, cool people, and awesome performance. I also dig the extra guages you get with the pod, and how it mounts. It would wake the beast up even more, and set those shift points right. You can also look into Troyer or VMP. Both get great reviews here. PHP website:

When ya come back, let me know ! Even if ya dont need any work done, you can always swing by and throw a couple brews back.

Love these trucks ! The more, the better ! Let me know when ya want to setup an install time. Will take me a couple days. I will PM ya with some details.

I really like the before pics. I don't know what it is but everyone is jumping on the black wheel bandwagon. Don't get me wrong the black looks good on your truck I just like the chrome better. Nice truck anyway. Looks great

Looks badass man. I've been dying to see more of our trucks with 37's on 22's since I first saw HighOn22's truck. Same combo I hope to go with one day.

Definetly like the new tires/wheels. I been looking at the bmf novakanes since fx4life told me about them. They look amazing.

Yukon 4.88s, feels so good. Haven't done it yet but it feels like lighting up them 37s/22s wouldn't be a problem. Still babying the tires though lol.

Yup for sure, tuning and brakes are what I'm looking into. Seems to me like a tune would be first and then brakes after. If I'm not going extremely fast, the braking is somewhat normal; however shifting is getting to be a bit annoying.

I know what you're saying boomer. I was dead set on going with chrome Hosses and was calling to place my order when I found out that no one had them. Started looking at new wheels and came across these and couldn't pass them up. I also agree that, typically, chrome does more pop with a white truck but I'm more than happy with what I've got. Thanks for your input though.

You got that right. If I remember correctly, the first three were taken in Arizona, with the second and third from the Painted Desert. Intended on taking more but got distracted with site seeing with the girlfriend.

Not a bad choice of wheels, I personally think all chrome wheels would look beast, but a great choice on the Toyos.
