Getting Back On the ROAD!!!!!

So after a two year hiatus after a small electrical issue. (previous owner liked to use speaker cable for lots of electrical connections). Im finally getting her rewired and back on the road. Just ordered a new heater core and looking for a receiver hitch and I should be ready to go. unfortunately all this time sitting has really done a number on the crap paintjob she already had. may have to look at painting her before too long. sorry for the non-informative post. just wanted to share my excitement!

thanks guys! now that there is a possibility of having her back soon I cant help but think of things I want to do to her. I keep looking at super swampers to swap out instead of the Grabber at2 I have now, but I don't know I don't want a real wide 35inch tire. rather have a taller skinnier tire. any suggestions on a good looking size?

BFG T/A KO2. Good reviews everywhere I looked. Not supposed to be noisy, do well on road, in the snow, and off road. My brother has a set on his F250. My set showed up yesterday from 4Wheel Parts. They are sitting in the shed right now until I get the brake system back up to par and an alignment done.
