Hi Tim, Hi Sam.

That box looks really good in there, Darin. That's a nice fit with the air tank. You know, it just occurred to me what you need to do with that tank. You need to paint it bright blue and put a big NOS sticker on it. To anybody that is half-ways paying attention that would sure make them do a double take!

Thanks guys, I needed a box so bad. I went all last year without one. Spare parts in the back seat, floor, trailer bed, trailer cabinets, etc.


That would be good Nate. I'd get some looks at the race track for sure! I got nothing against blue. My whole under hood is blue!

Understanding? My wife spends more on mods than I do. Can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Happy Easter, everybody! I know I'm a day late.


You guys sure did a lot of talkin' over the weekend. I spent all weekend going to multiple family Easter dinners. I used to skip half of them, but now I feel guilty skipping them cause I know everyone wants to see the kid.


Thanks for all the tire advice. I think I'm just going to stick with the 265/75R16 tires, MT's of some sort, mainly because I don't want to go with a taller tire than I have now. I'm not in the mud all of the time, just enough that its annoying not to have MT's.

I am a fan of my firestone destination mt on my truck. I have seen a couple bfg km2 tires fly apart. So that kinda steered me away from them. And I think the Firestone look better on the truck instead of km2. I did like the km1 and I am waiting for a vehicle I can put the ko2 on. Those things look nice and seems like they did a lot of testing on them.

So I'm guessing by the title of this thread that William has disappeared?

This OT thread has gone way longer than mine did back in the day. Lol.

On a side note, I have some yellow tape headed my way now. Stock lockouts are ugly now that I have new wheels. Lol

This thread just keeps going, and going, and going, and....

I know how you feel. I was looking at mine the other day as well. They work great, but the chrome is all peeling off of them so they look absolutely terrible.

Given the condition of the rest of my truck, it's hard to justify spending the coin on lockouts just because mine are ugly. There are WAY more ugly spots on my truck to spend that money. It would be like putting lipstick on a pig (or polishing a turd)at this point. It's just an old work truck anyway.

Now if I had fresh paint and shiny new wheels, then? Yeah. I'd be getting lockouts too. Warn premiums? Or did you go with something different?
