You're going to love them. Mud, snow and even wet pavement they handle great - not to mention they look mean as hell. I've been running mine for just shy of 20,000mi. Tread wear isn't quite as great as I'd like, but I don't drive easy and I'll get longer wear out of these than any BFG AT set I've run in the past.

Look forward to seeing some pics after you get them mounted!

Jarhead,

Which load range version are you running? I have always been a fan of the Terra Grapplers, long lasting, good offroad...but they were just not that great in the snow.

I read some good reviews on the Trail Grapplers so I went for it. I like the aggressive look, and the price $1400 with warranty to my door wasnt to bad either.

Ill get some pics up as soon as I can.

I'm 295/65/20 Load range E. Specifically went with that since the 35x12.5 wasn't load range E but still gave me the same size I was looking for. Think I was about $1,600 out the door mounted and balanced. Sounds like you got a good deal!

These tires are monsters in the snow. But probably most impressive is how they cut through standing water.

Enjoy!

I have been thinking of trying these too. Look to be a nice tire.

Here are my 295/70R18 Trial Grappler Load E with 4-inch SkyJacker lift.

I've only put about 5K miles on them and I like them a lot -- road noise is acceptable and has the good looks.

I went with the 315/70-17s, stuck with the same size that was on it when I got it, but they are Range D, oh well, I dont tow that much weight, and I bought this truck to haul around 4 atv's on a trailer. The tires should work out well for me.

Sammat that is a really clean looking truck
