Sweet! How them tires working out for you on the pavement? I'm going to be buying some 33's eventually and can't decide whether to get M/T's or A/T's they'll be BFG's for sure though!

I'd get the MT's. The new MT KMs are pretty quiet, smooth ride, and I don't notice a huge difference in ride, except that I'm concerned how they'll work on wet pavement, so I'm going to get them siped for sure. The plan is put the Deuler AT's mounted on the stock rims back on for the winter, and just use the MT's when offroading trips are planned. I'd get the MT's on a different set of rims if you can afford it.

you're gonna want to take off the rear splash guards. at full flex the tire is going to come really close to the bolt heads if you have the panhard drop bracket, if you don't have your panhard dropped then the tires will contact them.

Looks good, I'm moving to the black wheels once I get the chance to.

David,

I think that plan will work for maybe 1 time. the reason is that when I put my tires on I said the same thing. I never even changed them back because if I had, it simply wouldn't look as bad-azz. looking that cool is with the whees and tires and then stepping back down to the stockers is just going to be a tuff transition, but hey, if you got the will power to do that, then I pat you on the back because I sure don't.

Keisur,

Thanks for the heads up on the rear splash gaurds. I do have a panhard bracket, but don't know if I'll get it welded on before the big yotajam this weekend coming up. I hoping to be good about switching them- things are dangerous enough in Seattle with good wet traction tires, so I can't imagine what it'll be like with MT's. The vehicle is definitely alot more slugish too, which I really noticed this weekend, driving down to Oregon. I will agree though, its going to be a tough switch, and for any trips under an hour and half, the MTs are going to stay. I'm getting alot more looks now, it looks like a real offroad vehicle now!

I've been thinking about the black lug nuts too, but it actually doesn't look too bad, with the white lettering showing (I'm still irritated about that).

Another thing to note is check your tire pressure when you get them from 4wheel parts! I was in a rush, and figured they did a decent job with the mounting and balancing. I checked at the end of my trip this weekend and the pressures of the four were all different, 30,32,25, and 45 PSI! I was kind of pissed to find this out, but its my fault for not checking sooner.

you wanted them "black out" and they didn't do it? if you have a 4wheel farts in town I'd make them do it and rebalance. Yea they put like 45 psi in all of mine and of course I trusted them to torque them up correctly, huh, I had to use the air impact to bust the nuts loose at the first rotation, they never touch my nuts again, . I had to set the thing on 400 ft-lbs to break them loose. that's the same reason I never let discount tires touch them.

I'm kind of holding on to them, somebody is interested but needs time to scrape up the cash. I'm just looking to get enough to pay for 5 black rockcrawlers plus mounting my tires on them. Why, you game?
