I heard the Dune Grapplers are loud as hell on pavement. A guy around here has a dodge with 33" toyo mud grapplers (at least I think thats the model) and they are noisier than my exhaust... just annoying.
NO WAY!!! I have the Toyo MT in 33's and they are so quiet. I can barley here them.

I think you are talking about Nitto's Mud Grapplers, cause Toyo's M/T's are super quiet for their tread.

No... The Dune Grapplers are not too loud. The ride is bit rough, but noise wise not bad at all. I like them and they look awesome... I've had several poeple point them out to me.
