Truck isn't allergic, the guy that has to lay under it and clean the mud off is

You need the 37s. Go for a ride and come get them

 

I was thinking of Pat.

 

OP, what are your thoughts on the Klevers? I think I've narrowed my next set to Kenda or Toyo R/Ts or Mickey Thompson A/Ts.

 

I really like them. I've had the Kenda RT's in 33, 35, and 37. In my opinion they are an under rated tire that work well in all conditions. They have good traction and are fairly quiet (untill about half worn then they get louder). They really shine offroad, outstanding traction on rocks and the sidewalls seem very strong. Just wish they made them in a 40.

Really can't go wrong with any of the tires you have listed though.

 

They all seem pretty close performance wise. I'll probably just go by tire weight and make the purchase. Thx

 

Seems to be the Go-To tire for the 40+ crowd as of late.

 

Project 3 link is under way.

Got the bed off and truck up on stands.


Most of the morning was screwing around with making clearance for the garage door. It is tight I had to remove some of the cross bars from the roof rack and trim off the door opener bracket. But it fits!!


Tomorrow morning I'll start pecking away at some disassembly.

 

Those are some good lookin jack stands!

 

Looking nice Jason, as always

 

Can’t wait to see what the truck looks with 3 more mounted!

For what it’s worth…Toyo is discontinuing the RT soon.

 

The two 10 ton stands in the front were almost too tall. I was worried at first lol. It was a small investment for all the new stands but i wanted space under to work comfortably. I like the pipe stands in the rear since they can be screwed up/down for fine adjustment. Worked good to level everything out.

Gald to see you're back! How you been feeling?

 

WOW! Somebody in Az. can actually get a vehicle in the garage!!!!!

 

Lol, right? Garage is just barly deep enough. There is about a 1/2 between the door and bumper.

 

I meant the garages are mostly for storage like a basement we have here.

 

Feeling good as can be now. Got home yesterday. I walk around a bit, than rest. Rich and Tim stopped in for a visit.
Truck is parked for awhile. Needs a C V boot replacement. I've got parts. It'll be while before restrictions are lifted

 

Lol, yes. I miss having a basement. We tossed out soo much stuff before moving. When we go for walks in the neighborhood some garages are packed to the ceiling. Who needs that much shit?

Rest up and recover. Glad you're ok and can get around!!

 

Everything is out! Next weekend I can start cutting the brackets off and getting the frame ready.
