I think the treads look pretty gnarly and the black wheels help off-set all the chrome that comes with the Alpha trim.

Looks good! I like the wheels and the graphite grey H3!

I'm playing trial and error with the attachments, so excuse the bad quality pics....

Tanks!

I'll have to see how the 20''s do off road!?

Although most of my off-road is actually light trails and horse pasture.

I used to have 20" wheels with 12" wide 32" A/T tires (305-50-R20), and it was OK on the light trail. However, beside relatively poor traction on steeper sandy/rocky terrain sections my main worry was the possibility of puncture on sharper rocks, so I swapped for rugged M/T tires ... but those Toyos you have look pretty sturdy, and terrain you described sounds perfect for those12.5" A/T's.

I had a hard time deciding between an A/T or a M/T, and was actually about to throw on some irok radial M/T, but went with the Toyo's at the last minute (had a hook up at Discount tire) . Although I am pretty sure they are considered a M/T, albeit a radial and not a bias ply.......

By chance did you replace your shocks before you went wheeling? The stock shocks look pretty weak.
