    I found them on craigslist.com and they are hard to come by. I got them for $200 + my wheels. That included mounting and balancing. It was a tire shop where I got them at. But I had to drive 200 miles to get them.

    I found another tire shop that wants $500 firm. No trade. I thougt is was a little to high.

    Your best bet is to look for them in private owned tire shops. I found one set at $250, but I waited to long to get them. When I got there they were gone.

    dude are serious? What's better than a BFG? BFGs are unquestionably the best tire you can buy for a truck. Great treadwear, great traction, and they are almost bullet proof. You are seriously misinformed.

    I like the Sequoia 17" hyper Silver limited edition wheels you have on your truck. Do you know the offset of those wheels?

    Thanks.

    thanks on your comment. the offset is +15mm. it gives a little more clearance than the trd sport wheel.

    Dude!!! Im not saying there bad tires, He just only had BFG's listed. And I know for a fact that my BFG's suck ass in snow! Rain they do pretty good, but real easy to spin the tires when eccelerating normally. But they do have good tread wear and descent traction other wise.... Sorry for not clarifying!!!:p

    Here is a better picture of my truck.
    What do you guys think I should do after the tires?

    Where did you get that mesh grill cover from? It looks great. Is that the stock grill underneath? I think I'd like to get one.

    Cheers.

    I got the grill at stylintrucks.com. The model is Speed Grilles by Street Scene($139.39) (if you register before you order, in a couple of days you will get a 10% discount code). I also had the grill powder coated.

    I left the stock grill underneath and had it painted. I had it painted because the 09 grill is like a charco gray and did not look good.

    thanks for the comp.

    Salud!

    Is there enough room left in that cover to sink it in at the back of the grill if you cut out the plastic? Basically room for, Satoshi style recessed fitting?

    I've been thinking of having some kind of formed insert rather than just a simple flat screen across the back of the grill insert.
