35 in Mickey Thompson MTZ's installed on the 80 (1 Viewer)

[erymer]

Well we finally found the time last night so we got the tire install done.

No tire thread is complete without some stock and progressive pics so here we go.

The day Stefan brought her home. Dayum those Blinging chrome wheels were bad ass:

The day I bought her from Stefan (Not much changed from then till 2 weeks ago):

MTZ's loaded up and ready:

On the lift and ready to go:

Old rubber is off and the MTZ's are taking shape:

Off the lift:

Final product. Since a thread it worthless without pics, I tried to include plenty.

Clearance looks pretty good so far. I do think I am going to install a set of Metal tech 1.5 in coil spacers up front to level it out and make sure there are no clearance issues.

No flexing or poser shots as this was just done last night. Gonna need a run to URE soon.

Enjoy

Initial impressions are pretty good. I am really surprised at the road noise. I expected a roar but it is actually rather quiet. You can tell there is not as much rubber on the ground compared to the KO's but not much change. Haven't really noticed much different in the power of the truck either. She's still slow. lol. All in all I am impressed so far. I'll update the thread after a run to URE and see how they do.

Looks good Eric, I remember the day I brought that 80 home, Jason and I had that chrome and those white running boards off before the ink was dry on the title.

Those will never fit

Id buy J's and L's before spacers. Either way youll need to address castor likely.
I know budget talks but theres a couple sets of J's used on the forum.
or the slee 4'' that were on RDU craigslist for a while.

Eric, they look great and you will love them on the trail. Good self cleaning and great on the rocks. Not sure about wear....I have had mine for almost 3 years and only put a little over 1,200 miles on them.
