Great choice on wheels! Removing the core from the valve stem will allow WAY more air to get the beads seated. Once both beads are seated you put the core back in and air up the tire. Also, aligning the yellow dot with the valve stem will mean less weights to balance. I mount my tires at home with tire levers and they rarely need balancing.

Liking this wheels way more than the red one. A cage on the bed with some lights would look great...

Looks really good. One thing to watch on the simulated bead lock wheels is dirt and water getting packed in the small corner behind the ring. It’ll rust the rims out quick.

Looking great! Looking forward to the wheel bearing and seals video. I have a 95 Toyota Pickup ive been working on so its nice seeing great quality how to videos.

I love my thunderers man! Screw the haters! I don’t mind bashing them on the trails

I had to go with the 3 inch body lift to fit 33s on mine. Didn’t have to mess with any suspension or cut anything. The truck looks real good, I’m kinda jealous! 😜

You are right, wheels and tires can make or break the look of a truck. Those look awsome! I have black steel wheels and Cooper STT pro's on my 94 toyota. I think my favorite part of the truck is the front and rear bumpers.

Outstanding video my friend. There is those little things from time to time it seems that can show up on a build when working to bring those older car or truck back to being road worthy, when doing it right. But then that 's what makes doing this kind of work worthwhile. You never know what she is going to throw at you, until you finish.

A very subtle, understated look to your truck . I think it looks great .

Looks awesome ! I have the same tires ( same size too ) on my lifted first gen Explorer. Been on for about a month now and they are working great ! They ride really good too.

Austin I have run thunders on my duramax for well over a 100,000 miles!! I get at least 50,000 miles or more out of each set & im on my third set!! I push snow with the truck every winter & have never been stuck yet with these tires!! The very first set of tires I tried was the cooper mud STT & I didn’t even come close to getting 10,000 miles on them & they were bald & no I have never done burn outs with the truck!! I can buy two sets of thunders for less than I paid for the coopers!! The coopers were 1000.00$ & I can get thunders for 110.00 ea.. the only other tire that I have run on my truck was the pro comp MT ll & I got around 50,000 miles out of them also but at 250.00 a tire the thunders do just as good & half the cost!!! I definitely think you will love them!!

I've been changing truck tires and off road tires for 21 years and i mount them all like this but with the actual bars. But i did drive down to central america and had to mount one in a parking lot using a claw hammer to break it down and shampoo and a screwdriver to mount it back. You mounted it like a pro brother.

One other thing is I definitely think some rock sliders would definitely look awesome on that little truck for sure!! Hopefully you will do a video on making some rock sliders with maybe some steps to help get in!! That being made would definitely give it even a cooler look!!

Looks good with those rims and tires. I would do a disc brake conversion on the rear axle. The truck would look good as an overlander

That has turned into a sweet truck. Love those old toyotas!

FINALLY WHEELS AND TIRES!!!! Looks freaking sick! You could pound those pinch welds back. I did it on my 4th gen 4runner along with a body mount chop to clear 295s.

I like the tires and the wheels! Classic, tough, and no mall crawlerism! 😜😉🤣. Fits the theme of the truck really well. 👍🏼

Looks extremely good! Love how the build is coming along

Dirtnation off-road runs the thunders on his 3rd gen he does hard wheeling they do real good.

Looks great! Love the wheel and tire combo and the overall look of this truck.

Great choice in wheels. Cool seeing the transformation that 3rd gen has made. Great work!

Wow, the truck's color looks way different in the sunshine. Darker, and more blueish.

So Glad 4 Wheel Parts Got You That Last Valve Stem!.. I've Been Waiting For My Salesperson To Call Be Back For Like 6 Months Now From When They Sent Me The Wrong Center Caps, PROMPTLY Fixed It With 3 (Correct ( Closed ) Caps, And 1 Open Cap) Your Green Machine Is Pretty Bad Ass!!! I May DL Your Bumper Plans For My 4Runner!!...

Awesome alloys and Tyres wow 😍

I feel like the fender flairs should have been black maybe.

Thanks for your stories, Austin; enjoy your realistic piece by piece presentation. Videos have been great.

Some fine grit sandpaper should give those mirrors a more satin black finish to match the rest of the truck better. Loving the truck builds 👌

Been keeping up with the build and its been super helpful for my own 90' pickup build, both these wheels and tires along with the LEDS are great so far! Did you ever get an answer on how to refurbish the steering wheel?

I like those tires, should be great off road. It's not like you're driving 100 miles a day on asphalt. Good looking wheels. I was able to run 4.5*+ castor and picked up a lot of clearance on my truck.

Looks really good! You do some amazing work my friend!! Hey if you still run in To issues with the tires rubbing in the future a simple lift recommended is doing upper ball joint spacers for the front upper arms and a few small blocks in the back! Just a idea!! Keep up the awesome videos

I have the tires on my first gen tacoma right now. As the tires start to wear they will start to make a lot of road noise. Mine are around 50 percent life and im going to replace them as soon as possible due to the noise.

Wheels and tires look great man! Why did you go with 16x10? That seems like a rather wide wheel. I know 285/75/r16s will fit on 16x6.5, so why not like a 16x8? Clearance issues?

for more perfection just paint in gold or red the locking hubs levers, and shine the studs

Nice job as always truck turned out Awesome !!! Nice match up with paint and tires 👍

Looks sick brother. I have a ford ranger 4x4 that I have built up with a flatbed and green raptor liner.

Thunder tires SUCK in snow. I live in ID/MT and there was a set on a truck that was recently given to me. One time in the snow, slipping and sliding all over the road and I went and had 3 snowpeak rated Falken Wildpeak AT3Ws mounted. Not one problem since.

Really nice looking truck. I'm running Swampers on my Toy and Maxxis on my Comanche. Dandahermit

Nice i love it😍 It would look nice with rooflight and a runnerboard❤💯

The thunderer tires are awesome! I have the same exact set

Dude, fellow Washington bro here! I love all the videos and things you've done on your rigs. I'm running the Goodyear DuraTrac's, a 3.4L and built a custom flat bed. I'd love to pass some questions by you sometime. Lookin to do that valve cover kit you recommended for the 3.4L. I have the same small leak happening. Thanks again for all your great content Austin. P.S. (wish I had an awesome garage like yours too.)

This build turned out so sick. Love the color scheme. Nice job man! Bad ass.👍

Love how the truck looks!

I've run them for the last 2 years, they are great not super noisey but you can hear them

On my 03 I removed the flare trimmed it back to the edge then slipt bolts in where the clips go from behind then I cut the metal Fender back pounded it in the pinch rail then slip the bolts through the clip holes through some big Fender washers on and you can barely tell I did it

These wheels look so much better! Great choice!

BOTH TRUCKS ARE AWESOME LOVE THAT FLAT BED

When you have the alignment done tell the tech to give you as much positive caster as possible that will set those tires forward

Sick truck man !! In the process of building my 99 taco too

I was literally typing a comment about the caster angle when you brought it up to clear the tires haha

The wheels are Perfect for your truck👌

Love the look of the new wheels

That popping noise of the tire seating is so satisfying

I think the black wheels look great . Whole truck looks good great job 👍.

Upper ball joint spacers should help

Those wheels and tyres look slick. Nice one.

Glad to see you loosening that strap before you put to much air in the tire. I was doing a small lawn mower tire and put to much air in it before I loosened the strap. My bloody knuckle didn't like that to much. Nice tires and wheels.

those wheels are sick. great choice.

Wheels And Tires look sick!👌

looks great!

I love iT !!!!! nice build for sure.......pls. review the tire

Did you have to have a specific back spacing for the wheels? Looks good

that truck is so sick man !!! great combo for wheel and tire

Nothing like new wheels and tires day!

Looks awesome! Now it's time to go offroad 😉

Looks awesome!

This truck is looking so darn good!!

That tire stuff is so different in states than eu, but as worker at Euromaster i can say you did good =)

Looks great fixing to do my 96 Tacoma.

Looks good, sucks that there’s a leak. Waiting for the video on that.

The truck looks sick Bro!

These would look amazing on my 96 t100 too bad they won’t ship to Guam :(

Truck looks clean. Great job on the wheel set up

I have the 31 10.5 15 thunderer tires on my 1990 an have no complaints 👌

Sweet looking wheels!!

This is a budget build anyways so the cheap tires were the move

So far everything came out good the bumpers the tires good choice I love Toyota so it looks good man God bless thank you for sharing.

That TOY has came along ways. Great work!

Are you planning on tinting the windows and doing exhaust? Truck is looking great!

Im new to your videos so I am binging them atm and holy cow, I want a toyota so badly! haha keep it up bro

Thank you. I enjoyed watching this . Its beautiful ! 👏👏

Nice wheel and tire setup

Looks great, and so does the truck 😉

That looks Great!!

Looks so good

Thought for sure the tires were going to look dumb as hell then you mounted them and I was like.....”huh” * head nod with a smirk of approval* thought wrong

Liking those wheels. I'm wondering if going from 17's to 16's on a '06 Tundra is a good idea?

Just wow man!! What a beautiful truck!! Nicely done!

I sprayed my raptor-lined truck with the Turtlewax Hybrid Solutions Ceramic Spray. Dirt and water just bead off, and it gives it a bit more sheen. $12!

Pretty new to the channel, every thought about a 22re build? Such a bullet proof engine.

Nice mate it looks awesome 👌

Truck looks beautiful 🤩

Those wheels are awesome ran them on my heep. Fn nice truck 🤙🤘

Right choice on wheels,tires,Look great

Sorry if i missed this but did you re-gear this truck or happen to know what gears the truck has? I know my v6 Toyota would be a dog with 33s, 31s seemed to change the gearing to the edge of what’s practical

Truck looks really good! Love the wheels good choice on wheels and tires

What are you going to do brake wise? W the added weight

Need some help wondering if 15s fit a 02 Tacoma? And if those wheels come with valve stems

Greetings from Montana♥️ keep up the good work man 👍

Those tires will be like driving on marbles in the dirt and on ice, pretty though

Nice job....please Raptorline the mirrors.
