looks good man:thumbup:

 

[David S.]

niceeee

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

yeah im hoping they live up to their reputation.

 

[David S.]

I'm sure they will. These will most likeley be my next tires in 13.5

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

i wish i would have found some 35x13.5x16 but i hear they are hard to find and probably wouldnt be the best in the snow as it is.

 

[jwlandry]

they will be my next set for sure.

truck made its way from ohio to michigan with no problems. drove better than it has in a long time and the tire with the scarred up sidewall held up great. ATZ's should be on tomorrow.

Tires looks good, how do you like them? I want to run a 13.5 wide too but I don't want to have any rub issues

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

They ride great and are actually pretty quiet. Ill let you know more once I get them on the highway and take em up to speed how they do. I honestly wish they were a little bit louder

Good deal, I'm also going to get a set when these nittos are done

 

[TheSmokinStroke2002]

Yeah so far I'm happy with them.

I get happy to drive it now. Haven't drove it when it rode this nice in forever. I was rolling on factory shocks up until I replaced them a few weeks ago. I haven't been daily driving the truck in over 5 months due to the never ending problem with hub assemblies.

Picked up a complete gloss black 05 front bumper today for $100. also picked up a back door for $225 complete with everything except the interior panel. body wise i have everything i need now just need to get the cab corner welded in and it will be ready to hit hard in the spring. also looking for an 05 grill and headlights for the truck now. cant decide if i want to do paint matched or chrome. guess the worst i can do is go paint matched and if i change my mind i can always just find someone to trade parts with.

Nice, go ptm with everything....

Nice, go ptm with everything....

im considering it. also considering doing the bottom in a darker gray than what the top is instead of the silver.. decisions decisions. if i do the silver i will most likely go to chrome front grill, chrome front bumper, and clear headlights. if i go with the darker it will be all paint matched with custom paint matched headlights.

Is that bumper painted gloss black? Or is it like an XL bumper?

If that's gloss black I want to trade you for a chrome bumper in a very bad way, that would complete my black front end!
