Anthony West (@team__west) has built the ultimate daily-driven desert truck. His Toyota Tundra sits aggressively on 40x13.50R17 Venom Power Swampthing M/T tires, wrapped around 17-inch KMC Mesa Forged Beadlock wheels. Paired with long-travel suspension for smooth highway-to-trail transitions, the KMC beadlocks keep the 40s firmly seated under pressure. By prioritizing versatile off-road performance modifications, Anthony’s Tundra effortlessly rips through Southern California desert lines, whoops and sand bowls, proving you don't have to sacrifice street comfort for serious desert prowess.

Desert-Optimized Performance

Despite the Mud Terrain (M/T) badge, the Swampthing M/Ts truly shine in the dry, loose sand and rocky landscapes of iconic spots like Barstow and Johnson Valley. They boast massive shoulder lugs for essential sidehill bite, self-cleaning grooves that effortlessly eject rocks and dirt, and a heavy-duty 10-ply E-load rating so you can air down without fear.

The Swampthing M/T is designed to keep you moving. Its staggered tread blocks and wide voids power through soft sand dunes and loose gravel, maintaining momentum exactly where traction usually falters.

Out on the trail, dual sidewall lugs enhance stability across uneven desert washes and boulders. Meanwhile, the reinforced 3-ply sidewall construction handles the low tire pressures required for rock crawling without debeading—making it the ideal setup for a street-legal rig that wheels hard on the weekends.
