    Covered in stickers and chrome stick-ons for extra horse torques and foot powers. Icon sticker gets me tons of travel, dozens of milimeters.
    I thought about keeping a set of road tires and off-road wheels when I was driving the truck primary. Just seems like a lot of work.

    I already have wheels/tires for the on-road. When I get the off-road, it will be 7-8in wheels with the 31's on them. So, hot swaps. The only drawback is having a place to "store them"!!! That is the main drawback to being able to do that.

    With my mtn bike, I just undo the quick release on each end and swap out the wheel/tires and I'm done in about 2min or less. I also have a hybrid tire/wheel setup. So I have 3x separate tire/wheel setups to instantly choose from. I've been using the hybrid more lately... well, when I had the job at the time. If things pan out, which I HOPE it does, I'll be riding to work again.

    Ryan, what year is that Mustang? We had a '68 in our family and just LOVED that thing!!! I just wished we still had it!!! :pout:

    Is it a '66 or thereabouts? I'm not very good with telling the difference with older cars other than the general year it came out in.

    Anyways, pretty sweet man!!! :thumbsup::fistbump::cheers::bowdown:

    It's not terrible unless you're stiff and sore from the day before and don't wanna swap the tires. But hell even if you ran the A/Ts onroad a few days before the swap you'd STILL be up on it.

    You know, probably would be a better idea just to leave the larger tires on because that way I can practice "rock crawling" on the Priuses that litter the OC region!!! :thumbsup::laughing::laugh::rofl::rofl::rofl:

    Very nice!!! There was something about the front end that I knew had to be older than the '68 that we used to have. I was correct about that assumption at least, LOL!!! Very nice though!!!

    I think they mainly came standard 289 engine and later on, people were shoving 302's in them?! Do you plan on doing that?
    Again, sweet ride Ryan. :thumbsup::fistbump::burnrubber:

    I live in Harbor City and work in Torrance.

    If any of you buy this and need someone to pick it up let me know.

    I also go down to SD regularly since my sister and dad live there.
