Do the grabbers have Red letters on both sides of the tires? Pink or Red they aren't going on my truck like that.

NO I believe that they got some kind of film on them and made them look Pink. They are normally Red ..Bo is that right.

What is stock?? 0
If +1 makes it look a little wider I guess I'd do that.
I was thinking about using the General Grabbers but Bo said something about them looking PINK, that idea might be out.

Stock is +34. I wonder what price SDHQ would give us on a set.

Those grabbers come red but eventually the sun will fade them pink. Like 6.2 said just run the pink, I mean red on the inside.

Haha Might just stick to BLACK.
I went on SDHQ's site to see how much but couldn't get a price for shipping.
E-bay offers the fuel octane $730 shipping included.

Tough choice. They are both great tires. Obviously the trail is going to be a little more friendly all around and still give you great off road. The one thing that would turn me off about the mud is that after a few thousand miles they are going to wear uneven, more then most, and get a serious paddle effect going down the road. Lots of vibration and noise, which is cool at first but gets old if its your daily driver.

One other cool thing about the trial m/t is they have two different styles of lettering on each side. A stylized lettering which you have in the pic above and a traditional lettering.

Yeah I think I am def going with the Trail Grapplers. They are alot more aggressive than the Terra Grapplers I had on my Taco. I def agree that the Muds would probably wear faster and get a bit annoying. .

It is def hard finding a rim and picking from all the different sizes. I lucked out and went to Discount Tire in Dearborn and the guy that helped me was really knowledgable. He actually picked the Chaos 6 rims for me right there on the spot.

I went to Discount Tire by us on Gratiot and they told me to go with SDHQ cause they couldn't even come close to the price on the Fuel Octanes. Now I just need to find out the shipping cost on them and MIGHT pull the trigger.

Nice bro ! What tires are you going with ? shipping should be around $100 - $150 unless they are offering deals to forum members ?

No tires bro, are you getting the grabbers ? Discount tire has the Nitto trail's in a 18 for like $300 a pop with free shipping - pretty good deal. the 17's are $285.

for the wheels if you want 17's go with these, Offset = 14mm, 5.25 in Backspace - a bit more wider then stock

- http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/F...0&t_pt=100888&t_pl=101977&t_pn=MHTD5097859752


for 18's you can get the same offset or get these which will be slightly wider - Offset = 1mm,
5.0 in Backspace - flush with the fenders

- http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/F...0&t_pt=100888&t_pl=101977&t_pn=MHTD5098909750

The only drawback about the 18's is wheel and tires will run you a little more, price out both and see if its worth it.
