The Lair

Yes! How big/wide? Also where did you score that 5th wheel? I thought the CL guy wanted to sell the truck as a whole

 

I am eyeing the 305/70/17 ridge grapplers. Can be had at 775 for 4

 

What is wrong with the KoBros?

 

I went with 295/70r17, which is the same size as @bski22. They'll only be ~.25" taller but about 1.5" wider. For the 5th wheel I just bit the bullet and bought a new one (I think it's an aftermarket clone) that ran me $145 shipped through partsgeek.com.

That's about what these run with this current discounttiredirect sale. For 4 it'd come out to $796 which isn't too bad. You should get them before the sale ends in two days!

 

Some Mastercraft Mxt 285 18s may be available soon

 

You going 35s as well?

 

Nice! Did you go rouge or did you wine/dine Mrs EST?

 

You’re a funny guy

 

Me? Go rogue? I would never. She's getting a cat out of this deal which I'm fine with. They're low maintenance

 

The boys in claret and cobalt played much better tonight!

 

Yeah, they sell 2 for 486, so if I bought that twice I could save 200 instead of just getting 100 for buying 4. Will have to wait until the next sale but I think that is what I am going with.

 

Nothing wrong with them, just want to go a little bigger after the suspension. Could probably sell them for 400 and only have 375 in the new rubber.

 

Yeah, that's exactly what I did! Total was $1,050 for the tires, which isn't that bad for a set of 5

 

I need to get another matching rim and tire also, just need to figure out how I plan to carry the spare. Havent gotten that far into the build yet...lol

 

How will Tony handle the feline?

 

Rear bumper with a swingout, duh brian!

 

Probably fine. He's been around one, but he chased it because he ran. We'll take the time to properly get them used to each other so they can become best friends

 

He has heard horror stories of the cb not working if you get a plated rear bumper

He wont go for it

 

Not really feeling the swing out, I like the look of the baja tire carriers etc but dont want to lose the tailgate. Maybe I will do a basket on top of the voodoo rack and just haul it around up there
