    3.31 sorta sucks if that what it is. Maybe that will be something I change in the long run.

    Oh, the other annoying thing that happened. I did the tires on Wed, everything was kosher until late last night. The tire image light went out as soon as I got everything back where it should be and have drven a good 50 miles or so with the light being off. I drove 15 minutes on the highway last night and when I get off, the light flashes for a minute, then stays lit.

    Read the manual, when the light flashes for 1 minutes then stays illuminated, it indicates a TMPS malfunction. Hmm.....WTF???? I stopped at 2 different places and checked my tires, even crawled up and hit the spare with some air. Light still blinked for 1 minute.

    Went out this morning, none of the tires are flat or look low. Gonna Check the valve stems, check the pressure again, maybe take the spare down, get it at a good spot. If it's still on and I have inflated tires not losing air, black tape mod over the TMPS light.

    Well, the tire light is still on. Checked my tires and everything was cool so at this point I starting to not care about it. I put some electrical tape over it for now. I haven't done anything with the spare.

    Maybe the next time I do a tire rotation, I'll break the front bead and take the sensors out, replace them with regular valve stems and put the sensors in some tubing like I've seen some do around here.

    Air up all four tires and the spare tire to what PSI you want to run, and reset the TPMS. In order to reset it, there is a button (see picture below) turn the ignition to "on", press button, light cycles off and on 3 times, and release. It should turn off, if not, give it a few miles, if the TPMS stays on, the TPMS might need to be replace.

    The button is located beneath the steering column, I got the picture from this post.

    Gotta love the Black Tape Mod...in my opinion the TPMS thing is a manufacturer instituted ploy to get you to come back to the dealer ship for service whining about the flashing yellow light.

    I say again...Love that Black Tape Mod.

    great looking truck. did you have to lift the truck to get them to fit? if not do you have any rubbing issues?

    did you happen to get any larger pics taken yet?

    I got an auto with 29.5 inch wheels. My last car was a Mustang GT. Believe me a Taco 5 lug with 30" Wheels is much more satisfying with light offroad capability and truck utility than a car with more acceleration to the next stop light. Plus, less torque is probably better in adverse driving scenarios.

    Going with 255/85/16's within the next few days. I'm on 235/70/16's right now with a pro comp leveling kit, the rear leaf still needs to go on though. Already removed my front mudflaps and I'm expecting to trim. Procomp says I can fit a 31's but fuck it. Ima try and fit 33'3
