    Welcome! Glad to hear everything is coming along for you man. There are a couple of off road shops in the area that do it, Texas off-Road in Nederland, Lumberton Offroad in Lumberton and Z tech in Beaumont do it. I think there is a wicked off road in Beaumont as well that does it, but they cater to Jeeps on 24's...if that tells you anything.

    Cash talks. I know it's not a perfect truck by any means but I'm not trying to donate it either. I can even finish the work on it if you supply materials and parts. I'm trying to be reasonable with the price. It's a solid rig. Just has been wheeled for 3+ years now and I'm bored with it at this point. Needs some typical maintaining like tie rods and yadda yadda. But it works good for a trail rig.

    Try A1 Tint on Twin City hwy right by Jimmy Johnson. Not sure what they charge but I know they do it. BTW, they are the only place I take my vehicles to have tint installed.

    Go to A1 Tint and Accessories, tell them Lee Mims sent you. I don't get a kickback, they are friends of mine, it will likely get you a discount. They do great work and stand behind it.

    Oh didn't see that @Overkill07 already mentioned them. So there ya go, 2 votes in favor.

    Unrelated. I'm in Vermont, near a town called Middlebury, and head into New York for work. The drive is stunning. I've been in about every state in the US at this point and it so far is running away with what I've seen.

    It's unfortunate it's 1750 miles from home. I have to find a way to come back with Katie and Ford.

    I've been to New York and your right, the scenery is beautiful. But they can keep New York City. No fun in an 18 wheeler!!! :(

    I need tires, like a crack whore needs a crack rock. I've got 325/60/18 , I want to go to a different size. Like maybe a 295 something. What do y'all think.

    Would you be against going up to a 35?

    I don't know if a 35 will clear, I don't want to cut anything. I just don't like the wide ass tires.

    I run 315/70/17 and clear them on everything but the cab mount. If you go to a 295/70/18 that will bring you up to a 34.3 in tire allowing more side wall but is 1.2 inches narrower. I think you might like that from what your looking for.
