    Ive seen this beauty in an other post and after searching, I now have to ask! Where did you get that wonderful grill? Did you put the light bar in yourself or is it pre-assembled like that? I really really want one! My truck is fairly new to me and looks ike your before, but I want it to look like your after lol.

    As much as I like to read the build threads, I almost like the before and after picture concept better.

    Nothing too crazy.

    I totally agree but like, in my before/after pics dont show the aftermarket stereo and backup camera that I added and usually the build threads will go into detail about the different mods added but for quick glance reference, these before/after pics are great.

    I think I'm going to be bumping up to that size tire here soon. My 265/75/R16 Ko2's are wearing down quite a bit; I may get another 2 years out of my current tires but at this moment I could sell em and get the 285's!

    How much of a MPG hit did you take with the wider and much heavier tire? I notice the 285/75R16's only came in an E rated also just like the 265's I currently have. I have been debating on the 285's lately as they are a good 5-10+lbs heavier but I also don't feel like taking a big hit on my MPG as I have already loss about 4-5mpg hwy with my current 265's

    Did you trim your cab mount to clear?

    I've been 38psi front and 36psi rear; seems to be the best for my tire wear. But been averaging 16mpg hwy; maintenance is up to date; new plugs about 15k miles ago, synthetic fluids all around. alignment is good. I just took it as having the one size larger and heavier tire that's affecting my mpg.
