Default Updated PICTURES and terra 500mile review

I took some pics of my truck this morning after i threw some tire shine on my tires.

I took off the chin spoiler and i love the new look...i even got a dude in a parking lot to ask if it had 4wd. haha. i think it looks almost leveled now if your looking at just the head on angle...cant think about what it would look like with a coil spacer in there.

My gutter guard grill is now painted with a lighter gloss black and now shows up much much better...esp in the sun!

And for my Nitto Terra Grappler 265/70/17s....i LOVE them..i have gotten so many compliments about them. i love the tire and the size! the look a bit torn up on the edges due to the softer rubber but have not even worn through the little rubber hairs that stick out of the new tires...and with a little cleeaning with water and a rag everyonce and a while they look new...they perform great off road to get me where i need to for mountian biking and they perform even better on road with almost no noticable road noice at anything under 70mph. above that you can def hear them!!(but not too bad). and they give amazing confidence in wet road driving.
I highly recomend them!

here are the pics

looks good. I especially like that last pic.

PS How did you get the chin spoiler off? Any pics? DIY maybe?

You're missing the centerpiece on your right rear rim!! Did it just pop off while driving?

I am glad to hear you like the terra's. I am having a set put on Monday. I dont do much off roading except during hunting season and even then if the fields are too wet I dont' drive in them anyways.

Looks good, but gotta make sure you run a rag over all that tie spooge or it will get all up the side of your truck! i spray, let sit for 10 minutes and then wipe. Looks much better than a wet glacier that's gonna be all over your paint!

ANywho, nice tires. Musta been doing something hardcore to get that tiny cap to pop off???hm???...lol


Did you truck even come with a chin spoiler from the factory?
Also, How is that Dual DVD holding up for you? My 'Cuz asked me about them and I wasn't sure what to tell him. i told him to go for the Jensen one as they were both like $350-$400.

yes my truck came with the chin spoiler from the factory...all of them do....and i dont take my truck deep off road...just to get me to the trails then i leave it to me and my bike for the rest. and ya i do that too with the tire shine...i just took the pic right after i finished applying it and didnt rinse it off yet....and as for the dual.... it is great!! for a low end touch screen head unit it is the best!! my friend has the jensen andd they run the same software/operating program but mine has the small screen on the front when it is dropped down and hid away and it runs much quieter and the built in amplifier is much better with the Dual.... the ipod integration is scetchy at best though...im waiting on getting my zune then i wont have to deal with the ipod BS that ALL of the radio companies have to deal with! Alpine seems to be the only company that has mastered the iPod integration software
