Well after almost a month of waiting for my truck to back from the body shop it is finally home. My wife hit a deer on her way to town a couple weeks before Christmas and ended up causing about $4K worth of damage. After a new mirror, antenna, windshield, new passenger door, dented fender, rear door, bed and some fresh paint it looks as good as new.








In the past month I put in a JVC touch screen DVD reciever, Kenwood speakers, Gryphon, Marathon seat covers and 09+ DSG painted badges. I highly recommend Marathon seat covers to anyone that is looking for covers, they fit like a glove. I'm just about done with exterior mods except for new wheels and tires which I can never make a definite decision of what wheels I want, so I need your help!
I leaning towards sticking with a 17" wheel due to cost and more tire selection. Here are two wheels that I am strongly considering:


I'm looking to get a set of 305/70R17 or 285/75R17 BFG KM2's. Any suggestions or recommendations on wheels and tires are helpful

 

i like the mickey thompsons

 

X2 on the Mickey thompsons.

 

what kind of light bar is that? looks badass

 

I have always loved the yellow and yours is so nice!

Def the M/t's!

 

Thanks. It's a Smittybilt Predator, they stopped making them a few years ago.

 

well damn haha looks like it will be a damn hard find then. ohh well. thanks man, hella nice looking truck tho

 

The M/Ts def look sweet and on that pretty yellow truck they would be bad *** i love that color wish i could find one around here

 

i need details on those badges. Did you paint them?

 

Thanks guys! Yes I did paint them. I taped off the lettering and cut a clean edge with an xacto knife. Sanded them down a little bit and hit them with adhesion promoter and paint them the color of your choose. It took a lot of time and patience especially with the little FX4 letters, but well worth the results!

 

I like the MT's the best!
But why not move on up to an 18"?

Throw some 295/70/18 Terra/Trail Grapplers on her with those MT's. That would look good!

I believe a 295/70/17 is 33.5
a 295/70/18 is 34.4

 

Love those seat covers. Where'd you get them?

 

The Mickey Thompson's only come in a 17" wheel. I'm trying to stay with a little smaller and lighter tire than the 295/70R18 Nittos. Those weigh 71.6 pounds per tire vs. BFG KM2's 305/70R17 which are 33.9" tall and only weigh 64.4 per tire. They are lighter, last longer and cost less

 

MT's. Love em. Too bad they don't come in 18" .

 

Thanks. http://www.marathonseatcovers.com, they are a little pricey but well worth the price to protect my seats.
