Got my new tires.

265/75/16 Hankook DynaPro ATM's. Just about ready for Rausch.

Nice they look great!

What lift do you have? You're making those tires look small

I have the old "cheap bastard lift". I have ome hd springs in the rear, along with 1" spacers, and I took the stock rear springs, and installed them in the front. Tf +2 shocks. Next time around i'll go 255/85's. I wasn't sure if I had the room, but there's no doubt there is.

Yea I am in the same boat as you with that wish I would have got 255's.. Oh well next time I will probably just regear, hack the fenders and go 37's

Nice bumper who is the maker?

unfortunately that bumper is no longer available...

Come to think of it, even when they were available they were no where to be seen!

Just go to any LR forum and search "bottorf" - in fact I think their web site is still up lol

I'm sure you will get to hear Brians Bottorf story at some point this weekend. It's quite entertaining.

Truck looks great! I'll be anxious to see how they do off-road. Do you drive the truck on the road a lot?

The bumper does look good, just not a fan of the "big" bumpers as I have expressed on these forums before. Again, they do look good though.

Obligatory bitter asshole statement - Thomas the Train called and he wants his cow-catcher back!

I'll take that 'cow catcher' all day long. What a rarity, a real live Bottorf bumper. That sucker does look good. The rig is looking pretty sweet!

That's actually the lower profile "lil guy" bumper made by nate the thief. Not as gigantic a cow catcher as the original gigantor model. I need to do some more cutting and welding to the bumper still. As least its not as rusty as the sliders, which were covered in rust within 3 months of receiving them, 9 months after paying for them. My truck is my daily driver. I was debating on getting mt's but most mt's I ever owned sucked in wet weather and snow. As I need to go to work whether or not the roads are passable or plowed was the reason I originally got my d2, as I need a 4wd truck. If this winter looks to be as bad as last year, im probably going to get chains.

Daily Driver? Cool!

There is a local Mennonite Powder Coating place that does black for cheap. They did my 4 piece Rovertym sliders for $70. That includes sand blasting and powder coating in a semi-gloss black. If you are interested I will do what I can to deliver/pick up to help you out. I know a lot of guys like to just paint but the powder coat does hold up better. I will probably get my front bumper done some time next year.

Anyway, truck looks brutal. In a good way.

looks good. thats a hell of a lot of lift on that bad dog. looks great.

looks good Brian!
