    Haha I definitely hear you there. It's not all about having the money, it's about pulling the trigger on the item too.

    Its funny that all 3 of these trucks have plate bumpers now, all similar ones also lol. I was hoping to have you build me one but john sold his to me, to good of a deal to pass up. Are you going with 255/85/16s?

    Had the tires mounted and balanced today! Got the last one on the truck just as the sun was setting! They ride real nice, quiet too!

    I'll get some better picture tomorrow when the sun is out!
