    very very not true.

    plenty came with just the SR5 package and not the off road package. my 03 is one of them.

    4 bangers had them if they opted for the Offroad package.

    Haha. So, when you moving up to 35's for real? And will you go 4.88's or 5.29's?

    I should have worded that differently. All with the TRD came with it. Yes I know that they came with the SR5 as well. That is what I have. That statement was just refering to the TRD modles. Make sense now?

    I am at work so I typed that in a hurry. I can see how it can confuse some. I did learn that the 4 bangers could come with the locker if I read that correctly.

    Possibly when I need to replace my current tires. I don't feel like I need to. I've been able to tackle everything I've wanted to with my current setup and 33's. But we'll see.

    If I do regear, I will probably go with 5.29's, but only if I move to 35's. If I regear and stick with 33's then it will be 4.88's.

    Speaking of tires. 33's are back on the truck. I finished up the repainting of my wheels on Monday. I used a wirebrush on my drill to strip them down to bare aluminum and resprayed them with 2 coats of Rustoleum primer, followed by 3 coats of Rustoleum gloss black and 5 coats of Rustoleum Clear coat. Before the clearcoat was applied I painted the buttonhead screws with gold that matches the truck and applied some "Box Rocket" edition decals to the wheels. :)

    Did you just brush paint the screws? Im thinking about painting my wheels black too. But my screws seem to be made of brass or something already gold colored

    Yep. Had some custom mixed touch-up paint using the factory paint code. I've had it since I bought the truck to touch up little rock chips etc. But I used it on the button head screws.

    Speaking of digital camo......

    I was a short and curly away from having the wheels hydro dipped. Was considering a dark digital camo or carbon fiber. Like these.
