    What do you have? Good tread left or just for spares? I want to go to a 75 but I'm stuck with my 70s until I wear them out or unless I could sell mine.

    They're pretty much dead. I may end up just keeping them laying around. Haven't decided yet.

    Finally got my Stealth 6s and Cooper STTs put on, and tonight I decided to take the nerf bars off. She looks so much better.

    So are there any good metal fabricators in GA that someone knows? I want to put sliders on my truck but want to support a local business. I am in Marietta, Ga so I would prefer that it be within about 50 miles of there. Sorry to the other venders on here just want to try and support my fellow Georgians.

    I need a recommendation too - someone to install my lift plus tires/wheels/alignment, preferably near Alpharetta. Discount tire on States Bridge usually does our wheels/tires, but I'd rather have one place do it all if possible.

    Sorry guys, I just need to take a moment to rant about the new TVAT laws...

    I bought my truck in Omaha, Nebraska where I was stationed and registered it in Nebraska under their military laws, because I am still a Georgia resident. Then I get orders to Korea, so I drive my truck down to my parents place and keep it with them. I know that my Nebraska registration will expire while I'm overseas and I want my parents to drive the truck periodically.

    So here I am in South Korea and I start the process to get my truck registered in Georgia. Power of Attorney, fill out all the documents, get the information I need from my bank, etc. All said and done, I used the Georgia treasury department calculator to determine that I will have to pay ~$900 to get my Ga tags. Cool. So I send my folks the paperwork via certified mail and some cash to get it registered.

    Got an e-mail from my dad today saying that he got my Georgia tags... Yay! But wait, this is a long e-mail...

    Apparently the state values my truck as a brand new sale from a dealer and not a truck with ~12k on the clock... So the true TVAT that I owe is now $1,800... (leaving a $900 balance that I have a year to pay) I guess laws are laws, but I'm just a little annoyed that I have to send my folks another $900 to give to the state of Georgia. I guess the upside is that I don't have to pay the birthday tax anymore which is cool because I moved out of Georgia while that was still happening.

    Sorry for the long rant, I just think that these rules should be a little more clearly explained on the Ga treasurer website. I guess I'll go transfer some more cash now...

    I am about to move back to GA from FL, and I think for those reasons I am not going to register my truck or wife's car in GA. I paid 7% sales tax in florida when I purchased the truck, I'm not going to pay that again just to get a tag.

    Good call, after this deal I'm going to do whatever I can to keep my Georgia plates wherever I am stationed.

    After paying the state $1800, I get the benefit of a $30 annual renewal so that is the light at the end of the tunnel.
