    Yeah, especially if you want to hit the mud, need them self cleaning AT tires, or else you'll be spinning out all day long.

    Although I have to admit Will, they gave you some nice FAT tires that look like good all-weather treads.

    You know, Will-IMO I dont care for that feature too much and here's why: our tranny has a "lockout torque converter"-at about 52MPH it kicks in and you really get 'direct drive' torque then as if you had a manual. When you switch on the 'ECT' it seems you lose that torque in lieu of RPM's. I'd personally rather have the torque! Try this: with OD off, accelerate to 60 MPH. When you reach 50-54MPH you'll feel an extra 'halfshift' and you'll sink back into the seat a little too:D that's your lockout torque converter in action! I'd rather do my own manual shifting when neccessary. EDIT: I should add that "ETC" is pretty effective off the line and around town though-above I was speaking of the freeway speeds:). Around town you'll find it makes the truck a little 'zippier'

    if i go and you arent ready to wheel im sure i'll need a copilot/spotter/camera guy

    you can shift into 4hi while rolling...preferably slowly...shift tranny into n to shift the tcase into n or 4lo...same to take it out...tranny must be in n to shift out of 4lo

    LOL, Mine did! I split one like a bagel, an tore the tread off the other 3. Since I had only 1 spare, it went on the wasted tire, and I had to drive back to town with my 3 other tires treads flopping arround the tires. The whole dam truck was jumping around. People were pulling up to me and honking, saying "Hey, your tires!". I replied "What?, No they are ok, they are sopposed to do that". I had to drive them that way for 70+ miles. :D
