    I just joined this to see what people can do to a 2003 4x2 reg cab, which is what I've owned for the past 3 years. It's running strong at 73,000 mi. Today I put a deposit down on some Yokohama Geolandars A/T-S 235/75R15. So I'll be researching on that in the main forums after I post this.

    From the looks of it, once you get started on one modification, you just want to do more! These tires are very my first investment to this truck that is not stock. That's why I say I hope the "mod bug" doesn't bite me too hard. I guess time will only tell...

    Luckily, BenJammn5 sent me here to find out!
