    Nice! Sorry I just never got back to check your update. I think some black rims would look good on your truck, maybe with a white accent

    It's all good. I just got some green led light bar and I might mount it behind my grill or bumper like you did with your blue

    I think you'll regret not getting duratracs. They last a lot longer then MT/R's

    Like how much longer? Miles wise because it might not matter

    Idk exact, but duratracs are supposed to be a 50k tire or better. And they dig really good. MT/Rs don't last that long

    Yeah read some tirerack reviews on both of them. I love the aggressive sidewalks that the duratracs have as well. It's got the tire life of an A/t but it's way more aggressive than one

    Hmm okay well maybe I'll just get duratracs. I like the MT/R tread more but I wanna get the most for my money.

    I'm not sure of the price difference, but I know you would get more miles out of the Duratrac

    Duratrac's have good traction and decent tread life for an "A/T", but they are considered to be pretty weak for people who wheel. I've seen more pictures of Duratrac's with gashed sidewalls that I can count. Just a thought.

    If you're on a budget and need tires, treadwright.com is always an option. Yes, they are retreads but they are tested with the same standards as regular tires by the DOT. They're not like what you think they would be. For instance, all aircraft, freightliner, and bus tires are most likely retreads. I've been working military aircraft for 8 years and we use retreads with no problems. I'm currently running the treadwright 33" all terrains and have been for 15k miles now without a single problem. Haven't had any problems with them off-roading either. I got all 4 tires for I think $575 shipped. They look just like the BFG all terrains. The tire casings are actually from the BFG all terrains, just retreaded with the same tread pattern. I had the actual BFG all terrains on my old Frontier and these treadwrights perform just as well. Just FYI. Good way to save yourself about $4-600 depending on the size you go with.
