That's Mr Asshole to you
Dont have a catchy name for my truck like most of you but oh well.

2010 Double cab short bed, SR5


The day I brought it home. The wheels are Helo Maxx 6 and tires were Kumho Roadventure AT. These were on my old truck and the dealer swapped them for me. The truck has changed a lot since this day.

A few more updates added to the build. Nothing too exciting and it only took me a 2 months to get pictures up.
Need to decide what I am going to do next. I "want" a Brute Force front bumper with winch, bud builts, ARB air locker, 33s, and a swing away tire carrier with jerry can holder. I really need to start playing the lottery so I can have a chance at winning.

Skids and locker(s) first, I found that I very seldom ever nosed my stock bumper into anything that caused any permanent damage to it, tires skip the 33s and either keep what ya got or go up to 35s.

I'll second the skids and lockers first. As for skipping 33 to hit 35.. meh. My next tire will be a 34. I think a good 33 will do ya right.

You are so right and even if you did, you could pick one up cheap!

Second the opinion on the 33s or 34s - sad part is I haven't seen a 34 that is worthy of wheeling off road - for that reason I'm staying with 33s for my next batch! :)

Thats fine and dandy but to fit 33s your going to have to cut the body mounts and beat the pinch weld back a little might as well cut it far enough for 35s to fit, second point is either the 33s or 35s are going to require a re-gear might as well gear it for 35s so you don't kick yourself for it later on down the road, gas mileage between 33s and 35s is negligible. I see no reason not to skip 33s entirely.

I should borrow a set or put the truggies on the truck and see what I get. I just hear too much bangin on friend that have them.
