Need your help deciding.......
I have a little over 1k to spend on my truck.
I've decided to either upgrade to BFG AT's in 285/65/18(not sure if they're still on backorder) or go with an Xcalibrator, LightForce lights for the brushguard and use the remainder to pick up a ruger Mark III Hunter.
Anyone here have any other suggestions?

Go with the tuner, lights and Ruger.
get the tires only when you start to need them.

I agree with chris on this one. Save your money for the tires for when you nned to buy them. Maybe by then they won't be on backorder. Or maybe another maufacturer will decide to make a tire to fit the stock wheels. The selection of 18" tires out there under 37" sucks. Not to mention they are mostly 13.5 wide, way too wide for the stock wheels anyway.

From one gun nut to another...
I'd buy the Ruger...lots of ammo...targets...melons and squashesses (
) and maybe a scope....
Get some cheap lights from Wal-Mart (when you go pick up all the ammo). They're gonna break off anyway...
HEY! And when they do....shoot them up too! 
I'd get a tuner from Motorhaven and save even more! Just think of all the .30 grain ammo you could get with the savings!!

Wait on the tires.

Unfortunatley I have expensive taste and have been looking at the Ligthforce 240 Blitz off of www.superdutyheadquarters.com. They're pricey, but 1million cp might come in handy for those who don't like to move over. I'm definatley going with the Ruger, the cheap ammo plus my wife wants to get into shooting but doesn't want and "old style" revolver. I definatley don't want the report/recoil of the .357sig scaring her off either. I'll let you guys know the final outcome and thanks for everyone who responded.

It turned out she could understand and relate to the simple single action, and hated all my modern blowback and delayed blowback pistols...
You never know.
