    Thank you.

    Yeah, I don't understand why people go out and buy a shorter antenna when this mod is free. I've got plenty of paint and epoxy laying around.

    Waiting for my light bar to come in tomorrow so I can decide if I want a 20" or 30" LED bar for it.

    N-Fab Bar installed. Waiting on my LED Bar to get here now. Ordered a 30" (which isn't going to be long enough I don't think) so I ordered a 40" just in case.

    Trying to decide if I want to paint the bar to match the grill and valance before I mount the lights.

    LED Bar is installed.

    What would have been really cool is if they would have sent the Fucking Wiring Harness, Relay, and Switch so I could actually use it:rolleyes:

    Actually they were really cool and apologetic about the whole thing and are sending them out today. I should have it by Tues. Looks cool though.:cool:

    I originally bought a 30" dual row LED bar but when I picked up the N-Fab Bar yesterday I found out pretty quick that the 30" bar only goes to the inside of the far outside light tabs (if that makes sense). It wouldn't look right and I didn't want to mount 2 smaller pods on the outside mounts since I just wanted a single bar. I overnight-ed this bar and it fits perfect. Now just to get it hooked up.

    It's a spot / flood combo so it should work out for exactly what I need it for.

    Sorry guys I completely missed your questions. Like Matt said I'm running 245/75/16's on the truck. I replaced my 2011 PreRunner and I had this wheel / tire combo on it and just transferred it to the new truck. I've got the stock wheels and tires in the attic right now.


    The tire size change is minimal:

    Diameter inches 245/75/16 = 30.47" 265/70/16 = 30.61"
    Width inches 245/75/16 = 9.65" 265/70/16 = 10.43"

    The main difference comes with the width. The 265 is a little over 3/4" wider than the 245. The offset of the wheel makes my tires stick out about 1 inch outside the fender now. I don't know if that will cause any rubbing issues with a 265 or not. Once it's daylight I'll try to get out and turn the wheels lock to lock and see how close they get to rubbing. I haven't had any issues with rubbing with these tires.

    They should not rub, as that model of truck comes with 265/70-16.
