Baja Boss ATs for me - running 265/70/17s in XL load rating. They’ve handled everything I’ve thrown at them, including a spirited run down Black Gap road at Big Bend. Great handling, solid in wet conditions, a tad noisy but to be expected with this type of tread. Nowhere near as noisy as MTs...
I did have a little bit in mine right before my oil change. More than a sheen but less than substantial liquid. I do drive like an idiot around town though, so that may have had something to do with it.
I was in the same boat - shredded my plastic skids after a trip to Arizona. Went with the ASFIR front, engine, transmission and fuel skids. They’re pricey but excellent.
One thing - I also had the Mabett transmission skid but the ASFIR fuel skid won’t fit without cutting it; just heads up.
I went with the PIAA silicone blades - I've gotten them from Tire Rack; they work really well and install easily.

Worth every penny. For three reasons:
the power gain is substantial. You will notice it, especially in sports mode. Make sure to use premium!
The tune optimizes the shift points for the auto - crisper, more predictable shifts
It will perma disable the auto stop start.
Plus it’s pretty easy...
I liked them a lot - way more sporty than the Duelers, they gripped better. The only thing is that they tended to break loose on wet pavement a lot more than I would have liked. Never got to try them off-road. Since then, I got a set of Black Diamond takeoffs and am now running General...
Base system - those were the only ones I touched as well. I have a sub in the OEM position/box and then another under my driver seat. Also - I have the Kicker Key amp and have enabled the DSP. Though I think (and I have no way to validate this so might just be in my head) the DSP did a better...
What's the hit to acceleration and MPG with the 34s? Anything noticeable? I have an OBX with the steelies - running 32s but definitely like the look of these Toyos.
It doesn't darken it - but I will say, the dings and scratches that it's accumulated over the last year or so have made it a little difficult to see perfectly at night. I'm due for a new one soon. Still much happier vs taking a chance with glass cracks/chips.
I love mine. In Austin, we have so many construction trucks constantly driving around that rocks/pebble/gravel hits are inevitable. I've taken a few direct hits to my windshield (thankfully no cracks thanks to DynoFlex film), but I think I've taken far less thanks to this thing. Plus it looks...
How’s it holding up? I took mine down today as the corners were popping up. Was curious if the adhesion promoter and re-apply did the trick before i re-attempt.
I've been seeing a lot of these in the ATX area - Leif Johnson and Riata Ford sell them; they're mostly the Big Bend and Outer Banks models. If I'm not mistaken, Saleen does all the modifications - lifts, rims/tires, exterior parts, exhausts. I definitely do a double take every time I see one...
