    Yea mine isnt to much different with 33 vs 35s. Mostly just had clutch chatter on steep hills and the 35s cost more. You're also gonna get it alot dirtier off road with the little wider tire.

    I went over a mountain in mine with 35s, the highest elevation was about 5500 feet, and I had to use some pretty low gears.

    Don't know why people say this, for the 4.0 the S/C from TRD is a terrible upgrade, you get 60-70ish hp and it only robs your MPG at lower RPMs, it only helps after 3k+ rpms and at that time it sucks your MPGs down. Gears are a much better alternative for relatively the same price.

    Gelo, looks really good!

    I have not been able to find a definite answer, but does anyone know the weight limit for the bed rails? Specifically, the weight limit for an individual rail.

    Kase .. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I am talking about the tie down rails. I am going to fabricate a cage and only want to use the tie down rails, not the bed rails for support.

    A cage for dogs, hunting gear and pretty much anything else. My plan is to have feet at the bottom so the bed can support the majority of the weight, but I was curious as to how much weight the tie down rails would support if the cage was suspended off the bed.

    duratrac also very light compared to the grapplers, those are beefy heavy tires.
