I've received some emails/IMs from people wanting to see pics of my truck since it has a lift and upgraded wheels and tires. I finally got around to taking some pics this past weekend. I tired to attach a pic, but I keep getting error messages that the file is too big. All the pics can be found in my gallery.

 

MAN THAT LOOKS AWESOME!@!!!!!!

 

There is a black truck down the street from me with those wheels.

 

 

man thats awesome!!!! I drive a lot of gravel roads, are you throwin rocks down the side of your pickup with those wide wheels thats gonna eat away at your paint???

 

Looks great!! What are ya doing with the seats?

 

I have the same rims!! Love em!!!

 

Lambo,

I don't have a problem with stuff being thrown up on the side of my truck except for water when it rains. The paint looks as good as the day I bought it - no scrapes, scratches, etc.

Hotmopr,

I'm not doing anything with the seats. I had aftermarket custom, two-toned leather seat installed. I'm not selling them separately if that's what you're referring to? I'm selling my truck as a whole.

 

Looking at the first picture, it looks as though the back wheels are almost completely out of the wheel well. How far out do these stick? What is the offset?

 

hmm, selling a 2004. I hope you are ready to take a hit. You won't be getting near what you put into it. And I would think people would be hesitant due to warranty issues. Just because your dealer put the mods on and they will warranty them, doesn't mean that the person who buys it from you, dealer will honor your dealers warranty.

But still, nice truck.

 

If I was 18....yes nice truck.

Now that I'm older (not much wiser though ) I prefer the factery height with 285's or 315's . Just my minority preference.

Super looking truck for YOU though.

 

No offense but those wheels and tires to me say 'street performance' like they belong on a bling bling escalade, yet the truck is all jacked up...just seems a little contradictory..on a truck with that much lift I'd expect some meaty off road tires and some welds or something. Also it badly needs some fender flares. If you dont think those tires are going to throw up rocks and chip the paint you're smoking serious stuff and please send me a sample!

The tires are roughly 13.50" wide and there are only about 3" outside the wheel well. I've bought and sold many vehicles with and without mods and know what value I bought them for and what I sell and get for them. Kelly Blue Book on my truck is $40k without the extras I put into it. For Sale items do not belong in the forums, ONLY the classified section I'm not worried about the other stuff you mentioned because I already have interested parties. I'm also not sure where you're from, but in Vegas, California, Arizona, Washington and some other states I've been to, there are many dealers who offer modified trucks right off the lot, warranty any part on the vehicle and any modification. There are also dealers who put it in writing. I've never had a dealership turn me down for warranty work because of any mods I've had on any of my vehicles.

 

Lightman,

To each his own. I've had other lifted trucks (4" to 14" of lift) with Welds (15"x12", 16.5"x14" and 17"x10" Weld Wheels) and meaty off road tires (33" to 40" tires). I've had experience with Super Swampers, Boggers, Ground Hawgs, Dick Cepeks, BFGs and Mickey Thompsons. I got tired always polishing my Welds every other week to keep them looking good. That's why I went with chrome wheels. If you like the look of a 16" wheel on a 33" tire then there isn't much difference with a 20" wheel on a 36" tire.

The wheels I have don't hinder my trucks performance (yes, maybe they're a little heavier then a 16.5" wheel, but I think my Cummins can handle an extra hundred pounds or so).

I decided to go with a less aggressive tire to keep my ride quality. Like I said, I've had experience with other meaty off road tires and yes they look cool and perform well if you are actually going to use them for their purpose (many people buy the big aggressive tires for looks), but there are downsides: (i) humming, (ii) constant rotating and balancing, (iii) short tread life, (iii) rough ride, (iii) don't always like to track straight, etc. I'm not taking my truck mud bogging and in Vegas I really don't think we have a problem with snow/ice so I think the tread on these Toyos are fine for what I use the truck for. Plus they will have a significantly longer tread life, stay balanced, are quiet and ride very smooth (similar to a BFG A/T).

Like I told djp9747, the tires are roughly 13.50" wide and there are only about 3" outside the wheel well. I've taken my truck to the dunes and to my cabin pulling my toys and have not had a problem with rocks being thrown up on the side of my truck. Yeah you may get little ones here and there, but not the big ones that would take a chunk out of the paint. Maybe that also has to do with my less aggressive tread Look, if you or anyone else doesn't believe me, you're more than welcome to come take a close inspection for yourself.

 

Mine is the same way, with different wheels and Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/60/R20
