    Thanks for all the info here first thing. This forum is what led me to order the new 2020 trd pro wheels for my black sport. Wheels arrived yesterday along with black lug nuts. Center caps are on their way. I went a different route with tires. Some have the General grabber AT/X but they don’t seem to be very common. I’ve had good luck with the brand in the past and ordered the 265/75/16’s. The $100 rebate helped in making my decision as well.

    Stock suspension so far with no plans to lift as of this writing. Tires will arrive in two weeks. It’s like waiting for Christmas. I’ll post pics once installed. I know, no pic didn’t happen.

    Thanks for all the input just from reading on here. You all have influence without even knowing it.

    What tires did you get?

    I've been way happy Grabbers. I had AT2s and they were great unless you had a bunch of mud, lasted long. X3s now and they are great for a mud tire.

    I ordered the grabber A/TX. I can pick them up in two weeks at the local TR warehouse.

    Got lucky tires came in a week early! Center caps arrived yesterday. Loving the new look. It’s exactly what it needed.

    Remove the chin spoiler now! It will show off the tires better.

    Curious what load range your tires are. I have the same Grabber At/x in E load and was wondering if there's a C load version.

    Ok that's what I thought. I've put 13k miles on them with a couple of rotations in between. They've been great so far. Super capable off-road, quiet on road.

    Surprised about the you liking the at2's...they were terrible on my tundra not be able to balance them properly, plus i only got 25k miles out of them. Heard the same from others. Only thing i could say good about them is they were great in deep snow.

    Well, ya all know best so with hesitation I removed it today. Of course your right it does look better without it! Really doesn’t seem to serve a lot of purpose anyway.

    I can hear my kid now. He is 25 and every darn car he has had he is always removing parts from it. Of course I have always told him not to cause I know where there going to end up. My garage! Lol

    Now I’m eyeing up the factory installed mud flaps. So many decisions to make. Having fun with it all the way! Loving this truck!

    Thanks guys
