Ha ha! Fantastic!

Can you give us some details on those rims and tires?

While I love the arc of mud splatters on the front doors, how many rock chips did you pick up on the rocker panels? Did you consider leaving the side-steps on to protect them?

By the looks of those coopers, they are your daily sneakers. You must get some sorry mileage. I like the simple look though. Fresh mud splatter adds extra points.

why do you say that...do they look worn?

yeah..def. killed my mileage.. getting around 15-16 on the highway..down from 19-20....but....its worth it..haha.. kinda.

the rims are 16" dakota steelies I picked up on ebay for around $200...the tires are 285/75 cooper discoverer stt's...not too noisy and supposed to be a little harder so i figured they'd last me a little longer..

i havent washed the truck yet to look for any chips..so we'll see..no big deal..all part of the game, right? i've got the lowly S, so no steps for me...although i would've pulled them off anyway

Yeah the edges look a little rounded from the asphault. They seem to have plenty of meat left to them though. I haven't gotten new tires for the wifes Pathy yet. I'm going to run the originals into the ground first. I just spent $600 on my car last month for a wheel hub. Simplifying costs a lot more.

yeah...hopefully they're not too worn b/c they only have like 4k on them

The tread on the coopers look almost exactly like my old pirrelli scorpians I had on the old grand cherokee. What is the wear rating? Take the first 2 numbers and that is about how many thousand miles they are good for till they are totally dead.

i'll see if i can find the wear rating...

You say NEAR your buddy's property --- did the land owner know you were mudding out there?
