    That's what's currently on it, they are a nice tire. I'd buy them again if I needed an AT but I need me some MT's!

    Oh yea, they're nearly brand new.
    They've got less than 2,500 miles on them.
    They still had the stickers on the tread when I bought it and I've only driven from Richmond, VA to SA.

    They are 35x12.50R20 and I'm looking to sell the four of them, the full-size spare (Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ P3 - still has paint on the tread from the factory) and the rims for $1750.

    The Toyo's are normally $391 new before tax, mounting, and balancing from 4WP (https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/toyo-35x12-50r20-tire-open-country-a-t-iii-355990/_/R-DJSM-355990)

    The MT is $361 (https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/micke...atz-p3-55252-90000001948/_/R-BFLW-90000001948)

    Couldn't say how much the rims are, I wasn't able to figure out what model they are. They're polished aluminum and they do look nice but I can't justify keeping them over using the money towards more mods. They could use some cleaning up, but they're not bent or curb-rashed or anything. A little elbow grease would make them pop like new.

    Wanna buy some tires :D :evil:

    Things are finally moving again. I got the axle back yesterday from the media blasters. He put that coat of black on it to protect the bare metal during snovid

    I’ve got it pressure washed and I’m waiting for the steel to warm up enough to begin painting it with the final coat.

    Man I’m glad I did this. It looks like a brand new axle again. $60 for sand blasting, $5 for spray paint. Best $65 I’ve spent so far

    There’s plenty of clues, I’ve been waiting for someone to put them all together!

    Here’s a hint: it’s got the factory 6cyl under the hood... for now :wink:
