    will probably order them from east coast gear. They arent super far away and have a good rep.

    Oh no. I fell in love with them when my uncle bought one in 98. It's long gone to who knows where now

    Just done a little more trimming. I really need to go up another couple inches and I should be good for the most part. I just had to figure the points I was rubbing under normal conditions while at certain incline angles etc where the suspension is compressed.

    I feel no shame taking a pair of cutting shears to a semi new truck. lol

    Oh no joke? but how often do you drive on them man?

    the guy told me to just keep rotating them.

    I had the nitto trail graps I traded on there for a year and they hardly had much wear at all.

    I cant believe yours are 2 years strong. How much tread you got still??

    Just pro comp suspension and 5100's in the front set on 0. With some trimming on body parts and whatnot. For now anyway.

    The flares in the last pic on the bumper are off because I just havent took time to put them back on yet when I was doing all my trimming of things.

    I think it looks great, tough tires for daily driver though. Milage? I know those are some heavy tires, how does it ride and track down the road?

    honestly rides and tracks fine down the road. The only thing different honestly so far is the wider turning radius until i trimmed alot and the amount of how much louder they are.

    that would be great. Seriously 4 years? how much do you drive it?

    I can get discount tire to rotate and balance for free because I bought my tires from them.

    Truck and Supra look amazing! What trans did you swap in? 6spd? And given your screen name have you ever owned an EJ1? I'm curious to see what that thing looked like. Awesome taste sir!

    thanks.

    Actually the supra went with a built R154 because I had easy access to one and it was cheap. I have owned a 93 coupe. It was just your basic little rice car at first with cheap bolt on stuff that any high school kid would be on with very little funds. Was before I got a real job.

    wow man...that gives me hope with how i feel on trading for a tire I thought would wear out much faster. How many miles do you drive a day? Those still look really good.

    Also, what kind of tire pressure you running??
