    285/70-17" Kumho A/T.... I found EXACTLY what i was looking for! A decent used set of A/Ts that will get me better control and traction on the beach for now.

    Nice looking truck! That suspension setup is sweet, I wish I had the money to get suspension like that. Did you get spacers for the stock wheels to fit with 33's?

    Thanks man I will make sure to have that loaded on my iphone while we are getting set up haha

    Also I wanna hear if you have any input on this, I am considering ripping the black inner fender wells out! This truck rarely sees mud, mostly sand and dry dirt so im not worried about mud getting everywhere. Thoughts?

    and the stock intake draws air from inside the fender well, without the black stuff a lot more sand gets into the intake

    Thats what im thinkin! my local friends all run fiber glass on their trucks and there are no inner fenders on fiberglass and there seems to be no "side effects" to it.

    As for corrosion control, I do a solid quick wash on my truck everytime it comes off the beach and make sure to pressure wash or spray out the entire underside of my truck. It seems to be holding up like new and its always shineyy:D

    but when you get fiberglass its pretty inevitable, some people add some sort of protection

    I might try and fab up something to deflect sand but still collect decent air, I have a few ideas in mind already.
