    If I'm around I want to be there! Shouldn't have anything going on. I want a little more hands on experience putting a lift in. See whats really going on. Just dont trust me with a wrench and make me lift things.

    Dynapro's all day.

    OPEN QUESTION: For the next couple hours I'm going to do some research and hopefully decide on a tire to bring to sullivan tire and price match from either tire rack or discount tire.

    I'm looking for a good commuter tire but will still look a bit rugged/rough and do fine in snow and mud/sand (NOWAY E rated again). I have Hankook Dynapro ATM's 265/75/16's. I'm looking at 265/65/18's and want a little more of a street look (wide stance tire and look). I'm also trying to stay around $175 a tire. If anyone has nothing to do and has some reviews on tires let me know...

    I've taken a look at the bridgestone duelers, yokohama: geolander I/T G072 looks pretty good in my opinion for the price of $173.00... Any bad reviews? Let me know I wanna get these rims on tomorrow. Screw trying to find used tires
