Tinking of buying an SD diesel. Couple of ???

Yeah it will certainly be well cared for, I'm pretty anal about that. I've been looking at tires. The dealer owes me 2 and I'm going to go ahead and replace the other 2 while I'm at it. There doesn't look to be a lot of choices out there in the stock size. What else works with the stock rims?

Before I lifted the truck, I replaced the stockers with a set of 285/65/20 BFG All-Terrain KO's with an E rating. I liked them a lot. No rubbing issues at all.

Anyone tried the Nitto Terra Grapplers? I am thinking about putting a set of them on in the stock size.

I am running terra grapplers right now. I have 35's on my stock wheels and 37's on my others. I haven't noticed any problems with them.

From the folks I've talked to, the Terra Grapplers are a bit louder than other tires and don't wear as well. I've never owned a set, just going of what I've been told.

They do look sweet though!

I think I have some pics of the truck with 35" Terras and I know I have a few on here with the 37's and the lift. Check them out if you like. They should be in my gallery.

RnR, I'll go have a look in the gallery. What kind of tread life did you get out of them? I have seen reviews of everything from 25k to 80k. That's a pretty wide disparity.

Well I had the front door windows tinted at 20% and a 5% strip on top of the windshield done. It feels more like home now. I had the same setup in my F150, except the rear windows in this truck are filmed over the factory tint so they are like a limo tint. A 5% on the front doors woould have been a closer match but that makes it to hard to see out of at night for my old eyes plus the man has never bothered me with a 20% but they do hassle the guys with 5%.

I also readjusted the tonneau because it was back about an inch and didn't seal up right. It was a quick job and now looks like it fits correctly and should seal much better. I pulled the Harley mat out of the bed and scrubbed it down real well along with scrubbing the bed. The spray in liner is really well done and is a blue that matches the truck.

I really am pleased with it so far. I have already come to appreciate the long bed as I hauled a new set of wheels and tires to have them mounted and everything was able to lay flat in the bed. Plus I am liking the aesthetics better the more I look at it.

I have 20,000 on my 35's and still have plenty of tread to them. Congrats again on the truck!
