    all i know is i have to pull the gas tank and finish cleaning all the light surface rust off my tundra and steel-it the rest of the frame... its from florida. but they still get light rust when on the coast.

    front came out good...

    coating the inside of the frame and installing plugs then doing the cavity wax that the Tacos are getting under recall (we've got extra, so why not)

    I have a decent gun used with compressed air
    It atomizes the stuff I put in and mists it
    Hopefully the ff will work well in it too if I choose that route
    Still on the fence somewhat

    After two weeks and some careful listening I am leaning towards there being a possiblen ulterior motive out there

    It works, I rattle canned using the plastic attachment sprayer my previous trucks when I was stationed in NJ and when I lived in IL, just wanting to have it done this time around by a prof. Sick of the lingering smell in my nose and clothes even with a respirator and having to crawl on my back under the truck.

    Anyone looking for a set of 4 All terrain tires, 285/70/17? I reluctantly purchased them to get away from a mud terrain. I tried to get the most aggressive looking all terrain I could find. I’ve only had these on for a month, I’ve put approximately 200 miles on them, and I paid just over $1000 for them. I’ll give you a great deal. I ended up going back up to a mud terrain. They handle great in the rain and are supposed to be great in the snow.

    Mickey Thompsen Deegan 38, size 285/70/17, first $650 takes them. I’m in Plainfield.

    I have pieces for a 3rd gen oem tonneau... assuming that’s why you want.. it’s just the panels and seals.

    Ya I took mine off and sold it, too heavy, not very easy to completely remove, over engineered and over ugly, lol. But thanks man! Shopping for an Extang Xceed, really like the Bakflip Revolver but heard some not so great stories for cold weather applications.

    Looks like I snagged one from tonneaucoveroutlet for $807, free shipping, no tax (retail $949 and was gonna be $1008 from big box stores w/tax). I'm a happy camper. Thanks gents!

    What was the issue or why did you not like them?
    I have some tire issues here too lol
    Tried going for the badass aggressive look. They ride super sweet on kosher paved roads and soft off-road and deep snow
    But on the poorly maintained concrete they ride like friggin bricks!

    No issue at all with the tires. They perform awesome.......I just want a more aggressive looking tire. After I put them on it took me a couple of weeks to realize I don’t like how they look on my truck and want something more aggressive looking.

    I just noticed your brakes. How do you like em? I was thinking about getting a set for the tundra eventually and milling the bracket to make them fit right.

    They must be decent if Gas Monkey puts them on almost every build, lol. Nice!

    those can handle 90+ mph with no issues? softer noiseless ride?

    i don't see they carry the size for my truck, i did the year/model search thing and found no results to match

    I found them first on eBay. Then I google search them and found them at some other place called BB Wheels for even cheaper then I had saw them on eBay. So the cool thing about these are they are an RT. (Rough terrain) is a new catagory. It is supposed to be an in between from a AT and MT. It is said to have dirt/mud (MT) characteristics but yet handle the street like a AT. Supposed to be great in rain and snow and quiet too. I haven’t mounted them just yet. Maybe later today or tomorrow. I still have the Mickey Thompsens if you want them for cheap.....
