    Well, probably because it also stands for stupid white boy... So Paul's a SWB driving a SWB Tacoma, but it's not got a SWB cuz it's got a fairly long wheelbase.

    Then you're not doing to bad. My parents in Montevallo still don't have power and Alabama power told them because they only have 6 homes on their road, they are at the bottom of the list.

    Alright, so I've decided to get some Duratrac's. Now, I have to figure out size. Anyone have suggestions. Right now I'm considering 265/70/R17. The other option would be 285/70/R17. What is pro/con.

    Little more trimming. I'd go 285's if you're even considering it. Anecdotal evidence, but a friend and I both got tires about the same time. I got 285's he got 265's. He's now saying he wished he got 285's... We both had similar mileage drop, +- 0.5 mpg.

    I've already ditched the mud flaps, Currently setting at about 2" lift on front, TSB on back. What lift are you running and what did you trim?

    You can try running mine sooner if you wanna try 285s. In reality, 265s if you are doing 95/5 street/offroad. But, 285s looks so much better. I still man grunt out of satisfaction when I catch my truck at the right angle. Not to mention with 285s there's that incurable rubbing
