    Great pics! Do you still like your 235's? I am debating on my next set (in a few years lol)... 235's or 255's... Depend on if the truck will still be my DD or not and a bit concern about the 235's to be too skinny lol don't really want to regret my choice in either way haha

    Ahh the 235 vs 255 dilemma, I know it well. I bounce back and forth all the time. This biggest thing that keeps me from going up to 255s is that I will have to re-gear - I have a 4cyl. The 235s have been awesome for sure, and I have wheeled the heck of them. By choosing good lines, having full armor and take a tug every now and then, there aren't too many places I can't go. With that being said, an extra 1/2" of clearance wouldn't suck!

    I wouldn't say the 235s are too skinny functionally. In fact, I feel they out perform wider tires in almost all aspects. Looks, however, might be a different story for some. They are wicked skinny visually, and some folks don't dig that.

    I do like the skinny look! But not sure if 235's would look good but by looking at your truck I think I would like it I have a 4cyl too and I am still not sure if I would really need to regear since I don't offroad, except to reach some hunting and fishing spots. Don't want to give a to big hit on mpg too but 255 look so good I think I could get over mpg haha

    Thanks for the input! But I will still be unsure on wich size to get next lol!

    Got the ICOM 2300h "installed". The back window opens so we can run coax, right? Seriously folks, I have a bit more work to do for a clean install, or even a clean truck for that matter, but I got it working. Even made my first contact through a repeater with a buddy 20 miles away! Look forward to nerding out on the trail.

    Finally got the Ham radio installed properly. The bolts on the antenna mount need to be trimmed, but I'll probably never do it. Also got the LCA skids removed for tomorrow's big alignment. I slammed into a rock and threw off the alignment.

    My wife has an FJ, and you are right, much more body roll. Does it feel tippy off road? When I ride with FJ guys (and land rover guys) it seems like they are gonna topple over, but never do!

    It does feel tippy off-road, certainly more than my taco did
