    I've seen plenty of racks on TW with RTTs mounted to them ... but this might be the first coffee table. :D

    Not sure about your tires but many of the over sized tires and the mud terrains have a small triangle at one point of the sidewall that is supposed to be opposite of the valve stem. Most tire places don't know or ignore this detail and it results in an off balanced tire/wheel.

    Too many to list.
    I've thought about painting behind the grille. Did you paint the radiator? What type of paint did you use?

    You can use anything that is rated for heat. Autozone should have something. That's where I got mine when I did it.

    I did. Makes it much nicer. You don't see silver shinning through your grille. I used rustomlum flat black highheat paint

    Doesn't the paint interfere with the cooling properties of the radiator itself?

    Might car mods did a test of that with an intercooler. They did a test of silver vs black, and found that at speed, both cooled the same. The surprising thing was when stopped and idling, the black intercooler dissipated heat a lot faster. So the black is actually an improvement.
