    So far I've added an Advance folding bed cover and since removed it. Gave it to my son in Maine, he has an 05 2wd. GT perfect fit seat covers. Weathertech floor mats and window vent visors. Waag center brush/grill guard. Hose clamp tailgate mod. Turned off the seat belt chime. Added Ultra-Gauge. Trailer hitch. Softopper. Replaced sun visors with slide out style. Toyota bed extender. Had Firestone Destinations and now Michelin LTX AT2 in stock size. More mods to come; Fog lights, locking storage in bed, intermittent wipers. Now looking for Radio/HU upgrade. and maybe a lift way down the road.

    I have a set of the 265 series Firestone ATs and they are going to be a little bouncy for the first couple of hundred miles, but once they run for a little while, they will be great. I ran them as street tire on my TRD Sport for about 10,000 miles, and they are great. Quiet, not a lot of road noise, and if you keep them inflated properly, they handle really well. (It is a truck after all) I ran them on trails here in southern New Mexico, and never had any issues. They are not quite as good as the BFG Mud Terrains or the Dick Cepek's (33X12.50) I have for serious four wheeling, but I didn't expect them to be either. They come stock on Grand Cherokees and are the highest rated tire on Tire Rack. I have been very happy with them. I just took mine off because I lifted my truck 3" and got a good deal on the D/C and a set of four wheeler rims.

    Thanks for the advice on the wear in period. I do mostly road driving with maybe a little dirt/un-maintained roads mixed in. My job won't allow me to not show up so deep snow and ice are my main concern. Based on reviews these will handle the Northeast winters.
    My 1st choice was Michelin LTX A/T 2 but my guy doesn't have any idea when back orders will start getting filled. The Destinations were my second choice. It was a close tie anyway.

    Thanks again for the input on the tire.

    x2 on the advice. Thanks. I also wanted the Michelins but had trouble finding them in my area so I went with the Destinations too. I can tell I get a lot more rolling momentum or something as the braking characteristics changed a little unless my mind is playing tricks on me...:crazy: :)

    If you don't draw blood, you're doing it wrong!
    Today (actually yesterday) I did the Foglight Anytime mod (easiest/best mode so far), disabled the Seatbelt Chime, and disabled the Alarm Beep. Now if I could just figure out the one-press 4-door Unlock for my FOB :mad:
