Nice.

But is that painters tape?

If so, any residue when you took it off?

yeah its usually for long journeys so you dont get rock chips on the freeway, pretty funny youre still offroading with it though haha

Could be useful in preventing brush scratches on the paint. Cheap & easy to remove, too.

Whatever you do, don't do the "just spray the front with PAM, and the bugs will just wash right off!" trick.... My sister did that on her (now mine) 2005 Corolla, and it DESTROYED the paint, and required a trip to the bodyshop to get some pretty heavy treatment!

Exactly. It was originally put on to prevent bugs and stone chips but worked great for brush as well. I get home today after 15 days and will remove it. We've drawn all over It as little souvenirs to cool places we've been and I'll make a shadow box and hang it in the garage. It's held up really well considering it's been on for 6,400 miles almost.

I love the stance with your wheel setup - one day I'm going to get the same for mine. Today I saw those Nitto tires 265/70/17 on TRD wheels and they looked tough.

Post some more pics when you get a chance.

Thanks! I have so many pictures to download and edit off the DSLR, so it'll be a few days. I just got home, I put just shy of 6,300 miles on the truck in 15 days. The tires were great, I did some pretty crazy trails with them in Moab, through slick rock climbs, beach sand, river rock, and anything in between, and never gave me a single issue. I did the 25 mile arches trail in Moab without even airing them down, then cruised back to the hotel at 75mph with the A/C on. They start humming a bit over 80mph, but for how aggressive they are, it's perfectly acceptable to me.
Here's a couple from my iPhone for now




Mangled the transfer case skid pretty bad on this one, it was almost 5 feet nearly straight down. The trail got to a point where it was all or nothing so I went for it, haha
