    Got any pics of them installed? I am hoping for a more aggressive look without having to go for a mud tire because of mpgs and also I am hoping to be moving to colorado soon and need something good in the snow.

    I leave for the UK on the 2nd...so in a couple of weeks, and I will be staying for a few months. If I can find a job there within that time I will move there, but otherwise if I come back to the states, I want to get out of AZ again. I love Colorado so it is a perfect fit. You are always welcome to come visit in either country lol :)

    I like your jeep by the way. I used to run those BFGs all the time and I loved them, I just wanted something slightly more aggressive.

    Plus, if I move there I will have to leave my truck behind :( It is such a tough decision: family vs. tacoma...I just don't know :p

    Haha I would love to stay it is just a matter of making a proper life over there. My entire family is still there, just me and my immediate family here, but i have lots of friends over there that I grew up with, and they are finding it hard to keep work and even to find other jobs. So if I don't find a job while I am there, once all of this bad economy stuff has died down I will ship the tacoma over and stay there! I still plan to go over there every three or four months though to see everyone until I get to stay permanently (and comfortably).

    When I lived in Wyoming I had the BFG A/T and loved them, but i was going to go with Duratracs because they had a similar rating to them and they look a bit beefier than the BFGs.

    Currently I have a BS in Business Admin with concentration in Management, and I am half way through my Master's degree in Business finance. So my overall goal is to become a CFO of a major corporation. Perhaps british airways will hire me on to run their financial department :D

    Oooh Sydney! I am hoping to visit there while I am over. So beautiful. I could live in London. Got lots of friends there still. Just not a fan of how touristy and pricey it has become

    Got my LED's installed by Tacosunday yesterday and I absolutely love them. He did great work and I would definitely recommend him to anyone hoping to have this done.

    They look a lot brighter in person, but this is the best picture I could get:

    Just got Duratracs mounted now, and I think it is time to reconsider the wheels. Would like some input from you guys in regards to my wheels. I am looking to go all black now. I am so undecided if I want to just paint the ones I have, or buy new ones, like the procomp 7089 or something similar. Or maybe a trade with someone? Opinions?

    I will do that this weekend. If I paint over the plasti dip with a gloss black will the plasti dip still come off?

    That was on the list but I ran out of Plasti-dip so I decided to save that for another day :)
