btw ... make sure you take some pictures of the truck with the new tires and trimmed up valance. I'm purchasing the same tires ... how much lift are you running?

Ditto... i was waiting to get home in a couple weeks to do it. right now i have it pulled off and then i was going trim it and put it back on... now i am defently doing it.

I am running downey HD coils in back and the downey26mm bars in front. I have the wheel to fender lip measurement on the front @ 14.5". I dont have any rubbing issues at all. As far utting the front valance, all I did was measure 1.25" front the top of the valance on the edges and toward the middle where it starts to curve I just took a few measurements to even it on both sides then eyeballed the curce with a sharpie. I then used tape to outline the cut. I used a pneumatic cut-off wheel, but a jigsaw with a metal cutting blade would probably work better.

Yeah that sounds good, we should do that. The only places i've been off-road are on Ft. Lewis and and up near Rainer. Nothing really tough, got some new scatches though.

OMG - That's gorgeous. You have my exact rim/tire combo. I'm totally jealous. Your runner looks great with your new tires. I can't wait to have mine. Only a couple more weeks away and then it's off to new trails and adventures.
