Looks awesome! Nice & beefy! Can you advise where you purchased the roof rack?

Sweet! The 35's make our already badass Pros look even more serious.

Once you remove the part that keeps the wheels out of the cab in the event of a front end collision, it's all gravy!

That said, this looks mean as hell.

Not wanting to remove the crash pads is why I am sticking with 33's. But do like the look of the 35's and that are great for serious rock crawling.

We need more pics! Looks excellent- I've been wanting to do this on mine for a while.

You’re compromising occupant safety if your vehicle gets into a front end collision. Those small crash pads have a load of safety engineering behind them.

Pretty sure those crash pads serve no other functional purpose than to keep the front fender panels aligned with the front crash bar in the event of a small collision. One close look at the photo and it's pretty clear to me. It's a crash pad, not an airbag. There's the assertion that it's there in order to "prevent the tire from coming into the cab after a collision", assuming it's purpose is to limit wheel travel upwards, a bigger tire would also accomplish that the same way.

In a frontal collision the crash pads redirect the tires outwards to prevent intrusion into the cabin.

My previous truck was a Tundra, and although it was a beast it failed the partial offset frontal collision test. It had been designed before that test was used and your chances of leg injuries were high in that kind of collision. The crash plates or pads were one of the methods Toyota used to fix that and now Tundras and Tacomas pass that test with a perfect score.

I have multiple friends who have removed them and that is cool as long as you accept that your chances of being injured in a serious crash will go up.
