what gives that "off road" truck look

I hear they double as sliders...

 

Dents and dirt.

 

if your wanting to just do wheel and tires you can do 265/75/16's with BFG's or Duratracs. thats what i did and the only trimmin i had to do was take the front mudflaps off

 

a mud tire with aggressive looking side walls IMO. you may not take it off-road but with serious looking tires you will look like you do.

 

Lift, tires, plate bumpers. rock sliders, skid plates, extra lights...

 

Only offroading I really do is when we go hunting, nothing major just muddy and watery paths. No where to really go offroading that I've found legally around here. Not like the guys I see on the west coast or desert.

 

A little bit of mud on the tires does it for me...

My ride:

 

Dried up mud coming off the wheel wells, no shine with swirl marks all throughout the clear coat, and signs of unintended abuse all over. Thats what gives the off road truck look.

 

someone say mud on tires?

 

That looks "off-road" if I've ever seen it....

My muddy tires:

 

BFG's FTW

 

Beat me to it! A dented up truck all dirty. A windshield that has dirt all around where the wiper blades have swiped it clean. Even if it's a Subaru that makes it look "off road."

 

I have those same tires and replaced the wheels with Konigs, removed my tube steps, and removed mud flaps... I think it looks much better. Oh and I'm still on stock suspension. The wheels are wider and have slightly less back spacing so the truck looks a bit wider than it did stock

Edit: just realized I'm in 2nd gen section lol

 

These things take me anywhere with no questions asked

 

me too for the most part and im 2WD open diff. now in the rain from stop to 30....thats sketch but thats after its down to about half tread. im getting a deal on some tall skinnies coopers next but after that i might give the duratracs a try...not sure if i can pull the trigger since i love the BFG's so much haha

 

Ask me how I know!

 

What was your first clue?










^^^^^ Note that was sarcasm there.....lol.

 

dirt

it either makes it look off road, or not road worthy. depending.

 

That^^^^.

 

I think the answer depends on who is looking.

I'm not much a fan of the pretty look on trucks. Yotes can look like little tanks when built right. If you're just going for the look, I like the lower lifts (6 inches lift or less) with offset rims (very important) to give a wider stance (not talking about the bowlegged) and meaty tires in the 33 x 12.50 range on 16s.
