Thanks! The bull bar came from Tone, which as you probably know, sadly passed away recently. I don't know where else it can be purchased. I "think" he somehow got them custom made from Westin? Anybody please correct me on that.Originally Posted by Hetzer

cheers

They were actually made by Westin, I'm not sure of the model # though

Simply stunning!!! They look very simular to the Nitto-Terra Grappler-- only "WAY FRICKIN' BETTER"!!! Plus; the LTZ is a lot lighter at only 49 lbs, and way cheaper to buy. "Move over N.T.G.; you've been replaced by L.T.Z."
Incidentally gang; I found another tire that is very simular to the Nitto-Terra Grappler and weighs only 44 lbs with OWL. It's the SUMITOMO - HTR Sport A/T in P285/60R18 (31.4" O.D./44 lbs) and sells for $169 at www.TireRack.com
VX-KAT--- Now, all you need is the Kilby Enterprises "belly-pan" skid-plates!!!

Same wheels pb, just new rubber....I keep asking myself why I didn't do this BEFORE Moab?
Got a replacement wheel from circmand for the one I took a chunk out of the lip
Ordered the Refinish/Restore stuff yesterday so cladding will look good very soon!

Now you've got me thinking....
I need a new set of shoes for Vicki and I was going to go with the Terra Grapplers again, but I REALLY like your new skinz Sue.
Guess I have a decision to make now. Thanks for posting the pics, the VX looks GREAT.

They are VERY similar looking to the TGs. The shop had 2 giant TGs (325s) in the shop so I got to check them out side by side, very helpful, made me completely sure I made right choice for me. These LTZs have some slight grooved tread within the treadblocks (not on the blocks, but the lowest part of tire)...not smooth like I've seen on other tires. You can't see it in my pics because of the dirt, only pic #5 gives bit of it. See on the side shoulder those squiggly lines, it's kind of like that within the tread blocks, so maybe better water dissipation?? Or in my case...mud
