    I thought my MTRs were great until I got STT pros. They perform so much better in the terrain I wheel. Only downside for me is the run small.

    Shaving them is easy if that's the route you choose. Black would look good also. Either way good looking truck

    Taking them off wasn’t bad at all, you just need a swivel socket and ratchet wrench and it’s nice that all the nuts are accessible through the wheel well. The hardest part was getting everything in place to weld it up. If you are going to do it get studs and nuts before you start, half of mine pulled the whole stud out with the nut but I planned on replacing all the studs anyways. I should have done a write up on the job to give some tips.

    I followed this one, pretty straight forward. I probably had $150 in it, including the filter and new pan gasket.

    The most annoying part was jumping the OBI and sending the Taco into AT temp check mode. In the thread he mentions a YouTube video. Follow the pace, count it out in your head on the shift pauses, at least that finally did the trick for me. There is a trick out there with one of those things you plug into your OBI reader, but I am cheep.:rofl::rofl:

    Other than the AT Temp check mode, it's just turning wrenches and pumping fluid. I should have done it sooner.
