Just got notified of my build date.
My plan is to upgrade tires immediately so when I bring it home that my wife doesn't know any different. Not that I am scared of her, but why have the conversation? Ok, she is a purebred Slovak, so maybe a little scared...
Anyhoo, looking to consider going to 285/75/17. Prior thoughts in another thread suggest this size wont rub and don't need to remove or modify anything.
Primary purpose is to improve appearance over stock.
Suggestions given are Toyota Open Country A/T, Falken Wildpeak AT/3 or 4, or Hickey Thompson Baja Boss AT.
Winter driving capability would be a big bonus. I am a couple hours north of Toronto and temperatures can get to minus 25 CELSIUS (minus 13 Fahrenheit) so even those these may be "winter driving certified", but I question if the tire compound is suitable for this type of cold. To be clear, this vehicle is not going to be going offroad.
Other than tires, any other exterior modifications come to mind? I have seen an after market hood scoop advertised, but not yet convinced.
Gotta go, I think I hear her coming.......
