Man, what size are your tires, 195? They're even narrower than stock... Which is great for mudding, but not so much for regular all-purpose off-roading...

for what i paid for these tires, really dont care how thin they are, intentions for theses wheels and rims are winter, as soon as i can make the orangments i have a set of 36,12.5 16 super swampers coming up from pa those will be my summer tires, cant believe any one would compare supers of any size to stock tires as for off roading theses go any where the bigger tires go, any time you want to wheel feel free to come up, ill bring my tow ropes to pull you out, lmao and i could see why you would think that being its hard to compare 32 inch tire to 37s that are nearly 14 inches wide. and even better coming from a all stock vineyard prune,hehe, and yes wingnut that was extreme, had to hold my self back from flexing off that thing, but hell my 32/9.5 might have slipped off it anyway,

i agree it would be fun to snap a pic of all our expies together at the mall! hahah. and yes, your tires look like they belong on a corolla compared to walnuts but hey, so do mine! as long as they work, thats all that matters. and i would much rather live in a house and have narrow tires on my truck than live in the doghouse. at least our expies are big enough to live in if we get put in the doghouse! hahah.

It's settled. I'm driving to NY right now. Should only take a week or so to get there from Alberta!!!. Meet you at the mall for a pic or 2. lol.

Great looking pictures guys. And Chrmar, don't feel bad about being a "stock vineyard prune" as dgray says. We all ( most of us) started stock too. Personally, I love the look of the Swampers on his rig. Looks straight out of Road Warrior or Death Race or something. Very tough looking. I'm scared of how cool it will look with the 36's.

Maybe we can all take a similar 3/4 shot and someone can photoshop us all together somehow.. I'd freekin frame that and hang it on my wall!!!! :)

every one get a shot of there truck with a white back ground and that can be done, line every 4x4 up on the forum, virtually, that would be cool, lol, can we make my little tires look biggGGGGGGGer. *****. and thank you lane, wasnt trying to be a d@#k, but from where my truck was at jan 1st to now is a big diff, and for a stocker to critisize any lifted truck is just a$$inyne. and i to cant wait to get my 36s on here, with new rims,

Cool pictures, guys. I like the photoshop, too!
I really wish we could all meet up one time and take some cool pictures.
Plus, I'm sure it'd be really interesting to meet all of you in person, too.

I'm currently in two local car clubs--one in Boston area and one in NY/CT/MA.
They don't have many truck owners, but they welcome everyone.
If they have any shows or meets in the area I will be sure to let everyone know so we can all meet up some time.

funny you say you like the hood... i hate it... well the paint... if you look closely it doesn't match my faded paint... truck was in TX for first 10 years so sun did wonders to it... but were I took off the pin stripe matches hood perfectly.... thats why I am gonna do some sort of graphic to hide everything....lol

yeah dont think i am getting rid of it... but I think DGray would beat you to it if I were to get rid of it... just drawing ideas for a graphic and searching the web for ideas... had a big graphic on my F150 so gonna do something... most likely will go from hood down the side... tossing around a few ideas already with wife but need to get down to my graphic shop and see what they say....
