My new hotness: ITP Blackwater Evolutions

[FTG-05]

Based on several threads here on NTT, including but not limited to ovrzd latest thread, here are the before and after pics for my RTV. 25-10-12 Carlyle 589s vs. 26-11-12 ITP Blackwater Evolutions:

Before:

After:

Not the best before/after shots but all I got before I had to go get them mounted. $528 shipped to my local tire dealer plus $30 for one of his guys of about an hour or so. Well worth it, IMO.

Enjoy!

Those look like real nice aggressive tires. Does it seem take away any power?

 

[seery]

Looks great.

Any pics from the side with the new tires?

They look like they well get you though a mud hole or two. Nice looking tires.

I'll get some tomorrow. I got surprised by the deliver, didn't know that the tires were delivered the day before, so took a couple pics, then lifted it and took the old ones off and away I went.

It's definitely a couple inches taller to get into it. The ride is also much firmer than before, there seems to be very little give in the suspension when turning or taking a curve. No noted difference in power and/or speed. Like a RTV is going to give you whiplash in any event.....!

Nice view, pretty darn flat around here.

Good looking tires and beautiful background. I also like the tool (?) box you have on the front of the bed.

Looks GREAT!!!! I like the view also. Looks nice.

Thanks! I got really tired of no real storage in the RTV, so the bed box was one of the first mods I did to it. It's real handy!

Yeah, that does look very handy. I just set stuff in the bed but it moves around ....and when I want to use the dump I have to remove all that extra 'stuff'.

Where did you get the hitch for the front bumper?

Thanks Brad

Thanks Brad

I made it out of 2" angle (maybe 2 1/2") and a piece of hitch material I had laying around. I like the contrasting orange color.

Thanks,
