roadwarrior,

that's a mean looking rig u got there bro!..very nice!

..i think the only thing missing is a pair/quad fog lamps mounted on top of ur rollbars other than that it looks fine to me...btw nice choice of tires-do they happen to have 31x11.5r15 available?

well here's my ride:
daily driver...Old Faithfull...
97 Nissan Pathfinder 4x4 w/ td27 engine
tires yoko geolanders 31x10.5r15

m looking for a set of 4 rims size 15x7 similar to the pic below-w/c is usaully found of subic safari GQs or older model patrols...either in white or bronze color w/c i hope to trade-in w/ my stock rims...

to gunny:

thanks. you have a nice pickup also sir. when i was buying my tires i also tried mastercraft courser but the size available was 32x11.5x15. i'm not sure if they would fit your rig without rubbing the fenders.

as for the procomp, there was no 31x11.5 on stock. mine was 31x12.5x15 which i bought after making some modifications.

i cranked the torsion bar an inch or two and removed the mudguards. as far as the rear tires. no problem whatsoever.

if you want the rugged look, there are other brands available like mickey thompson, mudzilla by maxxis, pro comp, nankang, even savero m/ts.

this rig is not my daily driver that's why i could put m/s.

if your's is a city rider, then a/ts imo are the better ones. just look for mean looking a/ts which have aggressive tread patterns.

nice instant lift hahaha. that's what i did also with mine. i removed also the mudguards for the consistent look. i'm planning to have my rig painted black in the underside. that would really make the body look standing tall.

looking at your tires it will look monsterous kung mad dagdag ka nag height sorry ha im not familiar with the sx series of rancho and cranking up your torsion to much magiging maalon ang ride nag truck mo but it is only a sudggestion.
