does this look funky???

you all know that the gas prices are pretty high in the bay area of California. So I was getting crap gas mileage with my 35x14.50x15 boggers. so i started to look for wheels and tires i can use to go around on in the city, when i thought of my old sequoia rims and tires that were sitting in my backyard. i tried to put them on and damn what a perfect fit. but once i stood back and looked at it, i laughed. but hey im getting hella good gas mileage! and my truck is like 3x faster!!! ha.

What it looked like with the boggers:



and then the 245/75/16 sequoia rims and tires:




HAHA omg hilarious.

DON'T WORRY!! my boggers are safe and sound in my garage =]

It looks like Bigfoot, when they trailer it.

I think those bars sticking out the back are for mud flaps, but with those wheels, they look like very high curb feelers...

Yeah, other than a tad more body roll around the corners, I much prefer the way mine handles post-lift. Histeer, powersteering, and new everything as far as suspension goes, it handles like a dream over the way it used to be stock.

Plus, and I'm sure most will agree with me on this one, driving low to the ground is just plain weird.

Used to go from driving a semi to riding a bike, and it felt like my balls were scraping the asphalt!

Waaa, thats hilarious. Who cares what it lookes like, as long as you are seeing an improvement in gas mileage, and the swampers are tucked away safely in the garage.

Who cares what it looks like. Function over form. If anybody has a problem with the way it looks just make a pitstop at your house, throw the Boggers on, and go drag their trash into the nearest mudhole.

Nice looking truck, btw.

Hey man props to you for figuring out how to get better mileage. If you pulled up next to me on the street I'd expect you to start bouncing up and down with hydraulics, lol.

Now you can put the boggers on the sequoia and have a serious mall crawler!


That looks so funky, i thought mine looked weird with only a 4" lift and 31's but like stated, at least you are getting better mpg's and your saving the life of the boggers.
