    It really sucks when you press the clutch in and it's so cold it stays down for a second

    gonna start saving up for new tires..figured my trail grapplers have got about another year or so left on them. they are 265's and was thinking about bumping up to 285's. preferably something light and on the cheaper side but still durable. any suggestions?

    Well in the m/t category the cheapest I've seen is Kumho Road Venture M/T which is the cheapest you will probably find other then Dick Cepek Mud Country. Lighter tires would be a load range C but they will not last as long as a load range E. I'm currently running BFG M/T KM2's in a 285/75/16 and my truck seems to push those pretty well but they will cost you. I would check out tire rack for tire weights and reviews and go from there.

    On another note, newest mod to my truck is blacked out headlights. Also, don't mind the parking, my garage is full of christmas yard decorations. Gonna try to restore the lenses on my factory ones then maybe try a projector retrofit in them.
