Side note....did you happen to drive the 7.3 gasser anywhere? I keep hearing and reading good things.

I didn’t. Those trucks are way out of my price range. I built a couple of them. For less truck then what I got they were in the $58,000 range. That was a very scarce XL trim.

Haven’t had a chance to take the sticker off yet. I am the next town to the west 😎

'Cept the OEM tires are too small.

I agree, I wise my old trucks Duratracs fit. However with the mileage I have been getting so far I think the stock size is the way to go. I am afraid the more aggressive tires would effect mileage.

I am one of the rare ones that thinks OEM tires always look good, but I like more clearance between the tire and fender well. But again, it's not a big deal in the bigger picture.
