Love the way they look!! I did some trimming on the front, but i think on the trails i'm still gonna rub. Think i'm gonna bite the bullet and get a small body lift. Everyone said it was going to be a slug with these things on here. So far, i can't tell a difference over my 31's. It seems the popular opinion is to mount the tires with the black walls out. But i'm too much of a hillbilly for that and love those damn white letters! I can't wait to hit the mountains and see what these tires can do!

 

I like my 33's on my 4runner. I have no rubbing problems on the front, with no mods, but I do on the back, mostly because my bump stops are rusted out and gone. I'm trying to figure out how to replace those, but haven't come up with a good way that doesn't require a welder, which I don't have.

The rubbing really only hits the mudflap and running board molding, neither of which are metal, so I'm not too worried about it.

The tires work great on the trail (and I have white letters out, too.)

 

Looks good!! White letters out look good only for certain vehicle, rim colors IMO. In your case white letters out all the way!!

 

These blue toyotas melt my heart.

Great lookin tires too. Your trucks got it all.

 

Good choice on tires. For offroading I aired them way down at times to single digits for deep snow w/o problems on 7.5" rims. 12 -15 psi for rocks and trail. On road was good too but only had a set of buckshot mudders to compare them to. I did have rubbing with IFS but I had relaxed torsion bars and trimmed and it only rubbed when compressed with hard turns. Mine is a 1st gen 4rnr.

 

Thanks for the compliments! I still need to do a little more trimming/pounding, turning the wheel and flexing it rubs. I went with the destinations after a good bit of research and seeing what other guys locally had run. one guy has 30k on his and still has a ton of tread left!! The only negative reviews i saw for these tires were poor performance on snow and ice (not a problem in georgia!) and some said they weren't that good on the rocks, but others said they were great on the rocks. There are plenty of trails with a lot of rocks around here, so i'll see how they do. i'm not doing any hardcore rock crawling though.

 

12.5 width right?

Those tires are BEEFY! I've got nothing bad to say about them.. My dad is on his second set in his 98 Dodge Ram 4x4 and he loves them! First set lasted 60,000 long, hard miles. Never a problem off road in the rocks or mud. They did fine in snow and ice, but that may differ with a lighter Toyota..

Only thing you can do to mess them up is to not rotate them EVERY 5-6,000 miles. If you don't, they WILL wear unevenly-just too soft of a compound.

 

what's your frond end height? (center hub to fender) mine is at 22.5" and I still had to pound and cut.

The Destination MTs was the tire I was ready to get for my truck, but found a smokin' deal on Toyos I couldn't pass up. The Firestones are supposedly one of the longest lasting MTs out there, kinda like the old BFG MTs. Only downside I read about was chunking out on certain types of rocky terrain.

 

Looks good! 4cly people say its a slug. 33s on my v6 felt like 31 on my 4cyl.

 

Not sure what the height is off top of my head, I'll have to check. I heard about them chunking, if that happens I'll see if that can be warrantied. I have a v6, and as much crap as the 3.0 receives I think mine in plenty strong and peppy. This tire and wheel combo is pretty heavy, and much larger diameter but I cannot tell a difference speed wise. Don't even need to downshift up hills.

 

Nice truck. I don't think I've ever seen that generation with side vent windows before.

 

Brendan, what is that avatar??

 

Looks to be someone in a neck brace holding a beer??

 

That's tourets guy. He is hilarious. Dead now. He had a website.

 

Ya it's tourettesguy. If you like low-brow, random non-sensical humor and don't mind hearing every bad word in the book, google it. I didn't know he was dead though.

 

Bob Sagat!! That guy cracked me up. A friend told me he had died but I could be wrong.
