    Going to need new tires pretty soon. I'm down to 5/32 on the fronts.

    Looking for all terrain 33's, currently looking at Falken Wildpeak AT3W 285/70R17. Not sure if they'll rub with the stock rims though. I'd like to stick with them.

    :help:

    Nice build, that bed platform setup is nice! Do you get more wind noise from the Prinsu?

    Thanks! I've been loving the platform. Gives me a place to put all my gear and I can see my back seat now!

    It makes a little bit of noise, but having the fairing as close to the windshield as possible definitely made it quieter. I originally mounted it in the middle position and it was pretty loud. I have mud terrain tires anyway so that's where most of the added noise on the truck comes from, so it's kind of hard to tell.

    Tires came in last week. Hoping to get them mounted and balanced when I get my LCA's replaced and rear brakes done.

    I also updated the hopes and dreams list in the OP.
