    A couple friends and i went up to Ouray for a couple days of the FJ Summit and stayed to hit the trails after the hordes of people left town. Got to meet some industry badasses from Total Chaos and the good people at RCI Metalworks, cant say enough about both companies. @MIRDA RCI @Joshp767 Put out some awesome armor that got put to the test on the toughest lines Ouray had to offer.

    35"s, 37"s, and 33"s.

    None of us made it up "The Wall" on Poughkeepsie that day. Raining/Sleeting made for slick rocks and tons of mud.

    So far, i really like them. I think i need to air them down a little further since they are E-Range, I've only had them down to 18psi so far. I'll have them aired down to 15psi in a couple weeks when i am back in Colorado for the Colorado Toyota Jamboree. They balanced out really well with stick on weights, ride smooth on the highway, have done great in the rain lately, and grip and climb just as well as my friend's MTR/Ks. I love the looks of them and am enjoying them thoroughly. Great price also through Discount Tire.

    Michelin MS2's would have gotten you up that wet rock. Not really the theme you're going for though.

    Nice truck - beautiful pictures. Looks like a fun place to wheel.

    After looking around, turns out, im able to get a set of 305/70r16s STT Pro's... which creates a small issue because that wide of a tire will not clear with my current rims, so I'm also going to order a set of SCS F-5's with the 3.5" BS..

    Thanks for the inspiration! can't wait to get the new setup installed
