Truck is looking awesome Darren, has changed quite a bit since day 1. Fuel Wheels would look badass, though I always have been a fan of the Monsters. Can't wait to see the next update thread you post.

Yeah I will more than likely be re-wrapping the XDs. I don't have all sorts of money to throw around for it. I want some 20" BMF Novakanes Death Metals with 295/60-20 Nitto Trail Grapplers. About $3,000 in wheel/tire right there. Would need to take a loan out for that .

My one bud wants my XDs for his FX4 but I would only be able to sell them cheap being 4yrs old and with low treaded Toyos.

I hear yah. Lakemarykid's choice of tires of tires are very tempting . Hey let me ask you, how often do balance the toyo's?I've rotated every 5-6K but not so sure if balancing is necessary to maximize tread life.

I rotated them every other oil change ( 2800 - 3000 miles ) going from the front to back, no switching direction. They have never been off the wheels since I originally ordered. I am worried that the finish on the wheel will get ruined too from a random place re-mounting tires. Otherwise I don't see much of a point in a re-mount and balance. One of the tires on the passengers side has always had a slow leak but I just add air once a month. Once I get new tires I can add in the TPMS sensors and the light will finally go out.

Cool, I dont see the sense in having to re-balance a perfectly good set of tires and wheels that run smooth. Just needed to double check and confirm bud

Nothing much to update lately. Waxed it for winter, will do a full detail in spring along with applying some POR-15 to the frame. Having a little 4cyl daily driver has been great, with the past month the truck has added only 100 some miles, and for the past two weeks has been in my garage ( driven once weekly ). Saving money on fuel and saving my tires from any further wear.

Might get '09 style badges for the holidays, and got a Cravenspeed stub antenna on the truck now. Thats about it. Here is a couple videos I recorded last week.

Looks great as always Darren! Every time I see more pictures of your truck it makes me want to buy those tail lights. I'm still undecided if they will look good on my truck or not...
