Black; wash and wax

[BlackMamba]

toyo MT's are great, I got just over 50k out of my last set. BUT they will sing to you, and everyone will know your coming up behind them. I liken them to the worlds loudest zipper if your outside the car, or a jumbo jet landing if your in the car next to a truck with MT's. All-in-All they are a great tire, the noise in the cab is not bad at all, IMO, but I have been rolling around on Toyo MT's for nearly 100k now so I am probably used to it. They handle everything pretty great, even ice. However on a raptor I like the look of the Grabber's best! I'd be interested in their mileage rating/life span. From what i can tell they are superb tires!

FX, thanks for insights on Toyos. I guess it is Grabbers, if I can ever find 4. By the way, will a 5th grabber fit under the bed? Seems tight for a true 35.

FX - I'm going to have to disagree with you on the Toyos. I've been running mine for 30,000 miles and the only reason they ever got loud was because I drove around with busted front struts for 6 months (thanks Nissan...) and they got cupped pretty bad on the front and only got loud when I put them on the rear. I wouldn't hesitate to buy them again. But personally don't think you can go wrong with either the Toyos or the Grabbers...

I like the gray. Those who paint the fender black make the truck look totally different which adds to the Raptor allure. I hope to get mine off road more so paint seems irrelevant!

Thanks for confirming my gut instinct Crash. Blacked out looks great but I think I am going to stick with a touch of gray; just my preference. Now I just need to get rid of these little tires. Can anyone even buy 17" grabbers right now??

i just did the fender flares black and right now have the bumpers grey. i think if you want a touch of grey it's the way to go. now for me, i am going to do my bumpers as well because that's my taste. my grille will stay grey and so will the skid plate.

i haven't posted any good pics with it cleaned up yet but this is all i got. i originally did the SVT vents Tux black as well but decided i hated it and went matte black to match my gas door

SEE! You and I do have the same tastes. I also didn't really care to much for the SVT vents shinny but matte Black should look killer.

Terra Grapplers

I just put on some 325 Terra Grapplers and am happy with them. They are a little noiser than stock, but not by much. I am also leaving my flares grey. I like the contrast and agree with Crash's comments.

Birdman, looks good. Any reason why you are leaving the grill gray? Understand the skid plate as I assume it would get scratched up quickly.

just for contrast purposes. and based on how much i hated the svt vents shiny i doubt that would look good either.
