So I have some sliders on order and took the running boards off. I planned on keeping the flares but didn't expect the ugly odd lower end where the plastic rubber attaches. My first 80 and have seen so many nice 80s with fender flares and no running boards. I didn't notice this part or what...
Did a search couldn't find much. Wanted some suggestions of good on board compressors for airing up tires after airing down. I don't plan on getting air lockers just something that can air tires relatively easy and quick and not cost a fortune. Would spend 300 maybe more just wasn't sure if...
So I decided I want to go with 285/75 r 17 34s and get bfg mtr or the toyo extreme all terrain. I was looking at steelies because of the price and look but from what I have read they are almost twice the weight of aluminum. I am already putting a 34 inch tire and don't want to lose...

So this is my first 4x4, first time buying tires that I had any sort of actual care about. My wife and I love to just drive around and explore new areas past cars have lent them selves to just pavement. I could see these tires getting off road use just about every weekend. I have a 1997...
