    Stay away from the Nitto Terra Grappler, they are trash. I had 285s on 17 inch rims a while back and they did nothing but give me problems. If I wasn't spinning in wet grass I was bouncing in sand. I haven't heard anything good about the Mud Grapplers except how they look. I would recommend the Kumho Road Venture MT KL71(cheap for the tire) and def those Interco M16s. Also a buddy of mine had some Firestone Destination MT and they were pretty well rounded tires, did awesome in the mud. Have nothing bad to say about my Mickey Thompsons except the price, they do awesome in the mud and sand, don't let the picture of that tire discourage you, they look WAY more aggressive in person.

    I've got Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ. They are 35x12.5x20(stock 20s) I honestly won't get these tires again. They are too expensive for me, they run about $400 a tire and they are only all terrains. What kind of tires are you looking for? Any 35" for a 20 inch rim will fit our rims no problem. So don't let the sites confuse you. As long as it is a 12.5 and not a 13.5 you'll be ok with no problem.

    Oh, I should mention that the wires off the 97 terminals are +, so you need to run the - wire from the LEDs to a ground somewhere. Also, the dome light has a fade feature which will make your relay rattle as it powers down, you can solve this by adding a small capacitor to the dome light relay line before the relay. My frined gave me the relay so I don't know much about it.


    As for the sunburst orange: it is a rattle can paint that I got from the dealership, but as I've heard, a parts shop can mix you up a batch and put it into cans a lot cheaper than the dealership. Just make sure you use an adhesion promoter before the paint or it doesn't stick well. The black is the Duplicolor vinyl dye I picked up at my local auto store, and use the promoter as well so it doesn't rub off like mine did in spots.


    If you have any other questions, just ask away.

    Hey there brian. Pirate away, I love the door light mod and I'm sure you will too :smileup: Besides, imitation is the highest form of flattery, right? Now, to answer your questions: I hooked the trigger wire (30) to the dome light, ran the + off the battery to the (86) terminal, and the (85) I wired to a common ground (doesn't matter which order you do this in). Now, I used a double pole single throw relay, so I could have all my interior lights off of one pole, and my exterior off of the other, just for simplicty of wiring. This means that all my interior lights were run off of one (97) terminal, and the exterior off the other (97) terminal.

    Now, the way I went about running all my lights off of one relay was the use of distribution blocks, avaliable at any auto parts store. If you check out the build thread I did you'll see the interior one I did; just allows me to run two wires off the 97 terminals and then distribute wire to all the lights I've done
