    Deck Plate, K&N air filter, Magnaflow exhaust with single stainless 3" side exit tip, 2 inch level kit up front and added extra leaf in the rear.
    I have a 1998 tacoma 4x4 SR5 with the 3.4 V6 automatic trans. It has 15 inch wheels with 235 75R 15 cooper weathermaster tires and I have raised it about 2.5 inchs I pretty much had to, I added a leaf to the rear to haul a little more weight so had to level the front. It don't look bad but I want to go up to a 31 10.50 15 or a 265 75R 15 in a good off road tire that will go good in snow and mud but also get good long mileage out of them. Looking at BFgoodwrench, Goodyear, Cooper anyone have any ideals I only drive 90% blacktop 10% easy off road but I want something that looks good to?

    Hankook Dynapro ATM is a great, inexpensive tire... it is quiet at highway spped and has been fantastic in snow, mud, and sand!

    The new Toyo Open Country A/T 2 has a 65,000 mile warranty and is a decent all terrain. Not sure if anyone here has a set yet, they are pretty fresh.

    From what you describe as needs you really can't go wrong with the BFG A/T. I've had 4-5 sets of these and they usually outlasted my ownership of the truck they were on. I had one set of 33's I ran on two tacomas that I got 80k miles out of. I still use one of those as a spare on my FJ40. I also ran the General Grabber at2's on my first 05 tacoma and I was impressed with those as well. Almost identical tread pattern to the BFG A/T but 5-6 years ago when I bought them they were about 20-30 percent less money. I recently checked for my 96 and that's no longer the case though.

    I like the BFG rugged terrain.. ( not rugged trail) they are really good in sand/snow and highway.. I have found that hardly any tire is the great in the mud.. once it get packed with mud its slick.. but just check them out..

    The General Grabber AT2s have a nice aggressive look and they handle well on and off-road.

    I mostly drive highway, but have done some off-roading with my Yokohamas. The handled both well and are wearing well.

    I used to be big into the BFG ATs but they really killed me in snow. I have BFG KM2s now that are siped and they are awesome in snow and on the road. They are a little on the soft side so wear slightly faster but still worth it.
