    Check my build in the sig. There is front shot with my 235s and the bumper on the first post. I plan on taking some better head shots tomorrow morning, when it stops raining.

    I like the hybrid because it has a more redneck feel to it...lol It shows more of the guts of the truck, so I dig it. The plater bumper has a more polished feel IMHO. I will say this, the craftsman ship and customer service is top notch.

    You should get some dual led pods mounted on the bumper that will look great

    So does cooper not make the discovery S/T anymore? They seemed to be the only ones that made a lightweight 255 tire. Haven't seen anyone else who makes a load D

    Yea. I'm not much of a hardcore wheeler and never will be. I just need enough offroad in the tires to get the job done. The cooper discovery's would be perfect...but it looks like those are discontinued

    Then why force yourself into this niche tire size? There are a thousand choices for 32". I offroad quite a bit and even I'm tempted to go back to 32".

    Something to be said for this. I have done a good amount of serious wheeling on 32s. Skids and a spotter go a long way
