5 Months of Saving! New Tires and Wheels Installed!

Being a high school student, money doesn't flow to well. Haha.
Washed and waxed countless boats to get my truck new tires and wheels! Had Bilstein Shocks put in last month.
Tires are 285/70/17 Cooper STT
Wheels are 17" FJs.
I was set on Hankooks but it would have taken forever to get them in and they cost about 100 bucks more. I am so happy I got the Coopers. They are quieter than my old BFG All Terrains. They look really good to me.

Enough Jabbering, here are pictures!

Sorry if I break your neck on this one.

 

looks great gerret! i like those wheels a lot.

 

Nice truck man believe me, I know the whole high-school-cash-flow deal haha I'm in the same shoes

 

Thanks man! I was going to get them powdercoated black, but I like the look of them how they are.

 

Haha yeah. I'm glad I didn't go the cheap route of lifting and wheels/tires. It seemed like forever but I can't be happier with the way it looks now.

 

That does look great! Nice choice on tires. Go get them dirty now and post new pictures.

 

Tomorrow is the day of Clay Bar/Wax. I'll wait on the Mud. Haha. Thanks!

 

When I saw the first after pic I JIZZED IN MY PANTS
NICELY DONE DUDE

 

I'll get some better pictures after I finish work. Thanks for all the compliments

 

Great choice...looks awesome!!

 

Looks so much better!! Nice choice

 

Very nice Bro!!!
That combo is very sweet.
Did you get the wheels locally or what?
Got a link to where you got them if not....
Feels great to install something you have saved up for!!

 

Nice! I like the way the FJ wheels look with a silver 1st gen.

 

Thanks man! I love it.

Yeah I got the wheels in North Carolina and I'm in South Carolina. Lots of Craigslist searching.

Ended up getting 5 wheels with one mounted with a brand new spare for $300.

Thanks for all the compliments everyone

 

man they look really nice!

 

Very Nice man! Great job and choice!

Those would look pretty awsome Black! But I know... you like them how they are, and they do look good.
I need to get me either those tires or the Hankook MT. bc I im not liking my BFG's.

 

Yeah I wanted to powdercoat them, but I would get so many chips.

These tires are quiter than the BFGs man! I promise. They are easily the quitest mud terrain I have heard. That being said though, I only have like 20 miles on them haha

Thanks!

 

dang those tires make it look so much more aggressive. I've got the bilsteins and the wheels just gotta get some tires now.

 

Nice setup man. Now time to get out and let us know how they grip.

Finally you get to see that hard work pay off. I worked a ton after school just to buy my truck, now I gotta work more to mod it (while paying for college bills).

 

Glad your hard work payed off!!! Looks great bro!
