yeah Tyre they had the key i needed. Brenjen they are pretty loud, but since you are getting ATs I wouldnt worry about being loud and rumbly at all. I am 17 so i enjoy the loud noise.

I've heard they are very low noise in the A/T that's why I ask. My Buckshots were a little rough but the Maxxis ones weren't bad. The tread pattern on those Geolanders look as though they would be one of the best multi-purpose tires around.

Yeah well, I probably shouldn't have bothered asking since hearing is a subjective sense. Loud to you may not be loud to me.

I am curious as to what happened to the PS wing on your TJM bumper?

I run this bumper as well and feel these wings are a little under supported.

Wondering if yours was removed... or forced off under protest.

I had an accident and the PS of the bumper was waffled. We straightened it out as best as we could and the wing looks stupid because it is angled down really far.

BTW these were made by Adam at 4xInnovations, im not sure if i wrote trail-gear or not but they are 4xInnovations.

I'd like to know what you think of those Geolanders, I'm looking at getting a set of those in the A/T for my 4Runner.
why the "" ?

i liked them too....

all i said was the spare tire was thicker than the rest.. not like it mattered. i just felt like stating it.

The head scratchy was because of this statement you made:

"i do. i like your whole truck a lot. although you are right, it does look goofy with those tires.

did you just lift it?"

But to be fair I think he had edited the photos to show the new tires by the time I had replied, so it was a case of mistakenly missing the editing time stamp on my part & I didn't see it with the tires you were talking about...clearer now?

they are DOM, these things are not going to bend. They are also welded onto 1/4" steel plates that are welded onto the frame. have you seen .120? Its pretty thick, i wouldnt be worried about bending these at all.

881stGen I like those sliders. How much did Brian charge to install? I like the street locks too. Do you have black lug nuts? If so where did you get them? Thanks, good looking rig.

install was $100, we do powdercoating where i work so i powdercoated all my lug nuts last summer. The powdercoat is coming off though because an impact gun destroys the paint and i need to redo them.
AuburnRunner that sounds good man, my bro has a 93 runner sas on 37s. Have you ever heard of Whitesburg? There is some really good trails out there, but it is a little out there (toward La Grange).
