    I know!! I read a whole bunch of reviews, and these were always rated very highly among the MT's.

    I got hooked up through a friend, so the price I paid wouldn't really help you out for a comparison, sorry. Are you looking for 35's?

    Thanks!! :D

    I have the 1/4" top plate spacers from my toytec lift on the front, and an extra AAL in the back, it added about a half of an inch of extra lift.

    Quick shot of my new Kenwood 7140. Love it so far. I just have to adjust the backup camera a little bit and that will be perfect! I was using a fish eye lens which is why it looks a little distorted on the edges.

    tell me more about those tires!

    I've had my eye on those but haven't been able to convince myself to get all time MT's ya know?

    How are they on the fwy? like noise and handling wise?

    sick build btw!

    Nice taco man. Your taco is the same color as mine. My pic on here is when I started my build. I have done a lot to mine since. Is that headlight covers on yours, or replacement headlights?

    Thanks me too!! :D :D


    I really like them, they look amazing, and handle very well. I don't think they are all that loud either. You can definitely hear them, but its not like some MT's I've heard on other trucks driving down the road, they might be quieter on our trucks because they are a little lighter than most trucks you see running MT's, not really sure. I haven't run any other MT's to compare, but it's not bad.

    Thank you! I did an OEM FX-R Projector retro, if you search around here, you can find several members, and some how-to's on what was done.
