Just scored a hell of a deal on tires. Picked up some slightly used 275/70r18 Goodyear Wrangler ATs for $400 dollars. These things only have about a 1000 miles on em. Still look brand new. Will post a pic after install.

What’s the date stamp on the tires?  Sometimes people think they get a great deal only to find out the tires have been sitting for years.

Well time to start making payments so this build is about to slow waaaaayyyy down [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]. Gotta say though I'm very happy with this truck so far.

Finally got around to putting wheels on the truck. 18x10 -24 Moto Metal 970s. Absolutely love em. Just the right stance. They do have a little rub in reverse, but hopefully the 1.25" body lift I'm ordering next week will help along with a little trimming. Also ordering NFabs next week. fce3bd958a441d46f4d9ba0dc03a4e09.jpgd4405b7e5c3c0df526bb0623625de53e.jpg714d22502404bcfe30a01688a0a421ac.jpg

Since you removed your mud flaps have you notice any rock chips on the front side of your bedside? I removed mine and started to get chips right away.

I have not, but I do my best to avoid gravel.

I would recommend putting a clear bra on the rockers of the truck or areas that are prone to getting pelted with road debris.. I have 22x12's on my truck and I had my rockers done with clear bra to avoid the chips

Just ordered my NFabs. Gonna hold off on the body lift for now. The slight rub doesn't bother me enough right now.

They did that to me with my fender flares. Somehow they had got my $400 bushwackers mixed up with some cheap $200 fender flares so they actually refunded me $200 and sent the right ones after I returned them. So I ended up only paying $200 for my bushwhacker flares lol

Good to know they did you right. The box says Crew Cab on it, but these steps are far to short. Put them next to my 04 double cab and they are just the right length. After talking with them it seems they are gonna make the situation correct.

    • Even tougher is the 5.0 / 302. That's what this one has.    https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   https://postimg.cc/4n3F3yzY   Just realized I had the airbox removed in the engine pic, lol.
    • Yep! This should be a pin somewhere as @pgamboa really dives into all of this. Thanks for reposting the link!
    • I did the new thermostat after doing a 'flip' for a year. Runs as cool one way as the other in the summer but in the winter there is a bit of a floor. Yellow with the new 70 C thermostat. My data over the life of the unit to date. Still need more cooler. Anyway that floor helped both winter fuel economy and shift quality in the winter. I found it a good balance.       
    • Evan Williams Bottled in Bond   So pouring the last of a bottle of Evan Williams Black label last night I set off the the state store for a refill only to be denied the by an empty shelf. Rats.    What the did have was a bottle of Evan Williams Bottled in Bond. 100 proof. Hum, a few bucks more but a known distiller. Lets have a swing at it. ( I have before )    Cracked it open and pour a serving over ice. Hum.... more heat, yes. More alcohol naturally. But the barreling not the proof brings the taste and this one came up short.    Oh is was familiar but the heat ran the barrel over like a Peterbilt runs over a squirrel. Could use a heavier toasting of the oak me thinks or perhaps a longer barreling. Who knows. But what I can say is ice or a water back isn't the answer. What kills one kills them both. Sad. It is a pleasant drink....if you have little to compare it to.  
    • I've had exactly one set of Bridgestone. Lasted five year and 125,000 miles and had I known better 15oK would have been a cake walk. I would have bought a like set had they not tripled in price since the first set. I removed them at said mileage with 5/32" remaining in dead even wear all four. They were fuel efficient, quite, comfortable and predictable.    Early on I got a very good alignment checked at least once a year, sometimes twice; kept the tires properly inflated, balanced and rotated. And I've found that many a tire issue can be avoided with great maintenance practices. Lot's of tire dealers will do rotation and balance (simple) for free for as long as you own the tire they sold you so no excuse not to.    Bead prep, alloy integrity and stem health have a huge impact on inflation stability. There are more mountings done poorly that perfectly. Finding a good tire guy is gold and as important as finding a tire you like.    That 3X price increase now two sets of "other tires' later is starting look like a bargain.      Bad maintenance kills more tires than bad tires.
