    Oh and I love the Mudd Grapplers and all, but I am loving Patrick Cooper's tires a little more now, anyone have any idea what they are?

    Ultra Goliath wheels: 108mm bore
    6 on 5.5, 18x9, 5.5" back space, +12mm offset
    General Grabber AT2 275/65/18 P-metric
    OME919 springs
    14 turns on t-bar

    I want to give a huge shout out to Riff Raff for all his research on the best tire for the Vx, at 44lbs and under 150 dollars, this tire is amazing, and should easily dethrone the terra grappler, if you can get ahold of these tires, they are on national back order at most retailers.

    Yeah but at the 275 width instead of the Terra Grapplers 285 width, they do not look half as good in my opinion, and the Terra Grapplers side wall pattern is more attractive in my opinion, to each his own, I would definitely still pick the Terra Grapplers over those especially since I know how many ridiculous miles I got out of those things

    Thanks Bart, too bad you took the racing stripe idea My safari rack is somewhat unique as well, it's not the normal square/rectangle shape, and its stamped with a large "X" at each junction,
    http://www.discountramps.com/cargoIm...o-basket-1.jpg
    It should fit the unique curves of the Vx perfectly. I will of course post new pics when its on.
    As far as the Terra Grapplers, I think of them like Nikes, everyone gets them cause the swoosh on the side...lol. If I could have put any tire I wanted, I would have gone with the Toyo Mud Terrain, that's my favorite as far as looks go, but for a daily driver, no way!!!!

    I take it you are talking about kodiak's black racing stripe on his Proton? Yes, looks very good. I don't think he would mind if you copied his idea, eh kodiak?

    That's my bad, I had downloaded the desktop wallpaper of the Proton Vx on "mars" and I keep thinkin it was called Bart's Vx...but yes, it is Kodiak's Proton...
    With much chagrin,

    Copy away! Yeah, it would be nice to have another stripped VX on the board. But be carful, Put some thought in to it. I’ve seen some pretty bad stripe jobs and I’d hate to see a bad stripe job on a VX. Research the style you want and try and find a good vinyl kit.

    Oh, I almost forgot, just a jab at Riff Raff, that's the "total piece of junk" that was in Columbus, OH that I flew out and bought...

    No offense taken "NFNTRUTH79" (tit4tat). I'm just glad that "total piece of junk" of yours found the best possible home to bring it back to life!!! Job well done. It just goes to prove that a little TLC goes a long way. Your Proton looks simply dazzling, and those Grabber AT2's are just awesome at only 44 lbs, and under $150. The Terra Grappler's have been officially de-throned. Welcome the new VX tire king, the Grabber AT2.

    ntntruth,
    Hey can you post a close up pic of your VX tires/wheels? I want to get a better look at the tire that replaces the Nitto. I'm always looking to upgrade.
    Peace.
