    If your interested in MT's I would consider them for sure. My top two MT's are these and the new BFG's. I love how they both look. These have been awesome for me, so I am very happy I went with these, they had so many good reviews, it was a no brainer. The BFG's were new when I was researching, so I wasn't sure how they were going to turn out. When I need a new set, these will definitely be very high on the list, but as always, gotta see what new stuff has come out to compare them to. Good luck with whichever you choose!

    Thanks, I wasn't sure about them, but got a killer deal, so I figured I would try them, I really like them, very unique where I live. It's funny, people can recognize my truck even at night because of what some of the mods I've done to it! :D I love having a unique truck.

    Thanks, I need to update the first page a little bit, done a few things recently!

    Thanks!!! I keep thinking I'm done and then I see new things I want to do!! It's a disease!!

    I just put 285 70 17 KO's on this week and I'm waiting on my Toytech OME lift to get here. I have major rubbing with out lift. It sound like you and I have the same set up. Will I have to have Spacers ? Would yours rub without the spacers ?

    Yeah, I'm thinking of going 6"

    The Hellas are bright, I drove with them on through the Mt. Shasta pass last week and it lit up the whole road and shined about 7 car lengths down the road. But, they weren't aimed as high as the high beam so it wasnt blinding anyone

    Wow I'm surprised you stuffed those without a lift on! When I had my 285 bfg's I had rubbing with and without 1/4 spacers. Even when I had wheels with 4.5backspacing I had rubbing. You will most likely rub, it just comes with the territory of running larger than stock tires.

    Thanks, love the sig!

    Thank you! If you are talking about the in the console below the shifter, I bought some drop in LED's from a toyotanation forum member a long time ago. Not sure if he is still around or on this forum or not.

    If your talking about the main dash, it is a process involving removing and replacing the LED's behind the dash on the PCB board.

    I got black housing LED taillights from ebay, and plan on blacking out the chrome center piece, but its going to be a while since it is such a pain to do. I'm keeping my old blacked out set, until I finish the new ones, just in case something goes wrong. If all goes well I plan on selling the old set.

    Thank you!! :D
