    Well I don't know if it was from being too comfortable haha. It dipped to 20 degrees and I was freezing my ass off for most of the night until I crawled out of the tent to get more clothes lol. After that it was very comfy.

    Only dragged my diff on the rocks once. Slid sideways into it otherwise I would have been fine. Oh well, just an excuse for bigger tires. Also more lights because I can and I will haha.

    Truck is looking good! :cool:
    I still can't decide on a tire myself haha. For now I am looking at the Cooper STT or Toyo MT. So many options!

    Do you use the CB much? I can't decide how high on the priority list I should make it.

    EDIT nice sig btw!

    I use the CB for listening to the weather every once in a while. And I'll leave it on scan for long drives but I rarely hear anything unless I'm going though a construction zone. My buddy has one on his Subaru and we talk on it a lot when we drive somewhere together but he has issues tuning his antenna so the range is pretty awful.

    And I'm so damn impressed with my tires haha. Cooper ATR. They're pushing 10 years old but I've never really felt like they've underperformed in anything other than some deep sticky mud. Which obviously they weren't designed for.

    That's why I'm having a hard time dropping money on new tires. Mine work amazing for what I do. BUT I dread any sort of mud and I'm worried about them dry rotting.

    Speaking of tires, I aired them up at a gas station because I've been getting really poor mileage lately(11-12 where I'm usually around 15-16 city...) and one of my valve stems is leaking now. They're only a month old stems and this shitty gas station air nozzle bent the core pin or something. So now I have to get that replaced again...pretty bummed about that.

    Have you tried just putting in a new valve stem core? Sometimes that works. You know, the one that you can screw in/out.

    That is impressive for tires! Mine are old too, have some cracking already :eek:

    Haven't tried anything yet. It happened last night at 11pm so I haven't had time to mess with it.

    Anyone interested in a pair of rigid dually D2s in driving pattern? I have a pair with wiring harness and all hardware. Almost a year old but just freshly serviced/powdercoated by rigid.

    $300 for the pair with hardware and harness.

    Selling because I couldn't fit them where I wanted on my new bumper. Went with some SRQ2s instead.

    I really want to know if these brackets would be beefy enough to hold a Q2...if they were I'd love them there in a hyperspot pattern.
