Whooooo hooooo!!!! Just got my tires mounted. 33x12.50x15 BFG all terains. Now I gotta decide if I'm gonna go ahead and do the solid axle swap or get the alignment brackets to get the front end back to where it won't eat another set of tires!!!!

Congrats Duane. Those things were huge.


I got my new tires today. Idiot UPS guy left them on the porch. You would think they'd be smarter than leaving $600 worth of tires on the porch. I trust my neighborhood but what are the old people going to do when someone tries to steal something...LOL.


I'm going Wed to get the old ones taken off and the new mounted and balanced. Any suggestions??

The new tires are much better. They'll give me back my drop and make the 20's look huge...yeahhhhhhhhhh.


later,
Jon

My newest mod is I lowered my truck...LOL. Man, those new tires make a huge difference. It is weird. It actually rides smoother than with the larger tires on it. VERY NICE.

Finally finished the install of the my Train Horns! Those suckers are loud! Went out and tested them last night. Found out one important thing .... (note to self) DO NOT honk train horns while going threw an underpass, at least a tunnel type underpass! These things are going to be great when I am in a hurry to get to Ryan's!

I can tell you that they are LOUD. Tony had to hit them for us lastnight but he forgot to tell me and the boys he was going to do it. Scared the **** out of me, I think I lost another 5 years. (no Jon I'm not 65)

LMAO Tony, my dad had a set of them on his big truck. The best time to hit them is when you see some moron parked on the tracks at a stoplight, they tend to scramble a bit lol.
