Matt's 2013 slow build

I didn't take it that way at all m8. Hope all is well. Happy to help with the tire dilemma

 

haha alright. this game is just going horribly. But yea, thanks a ton for your help dude. haha I think i'm pretty set on the Hankook's. You sold me. lol

I was just creeping through your photos do you happen to have any showing the sidewall? lol I've seen all the photos, but I could've sworn the few times that I've seen them that they look a lot more aggressive than the photos. Not that it's going to change my decision at all, just curious.

 

I have thousands of pictures. Let me throw some things together.

Also have some good pictures on my instagram too

Cool, thanks. Lol yea, in my opinion they look a lot better and more aggressive in person than in the little teaser pics online. That's some serious mall crawling in that last photo btw

Also, (responding to your last post in the MD thread) the P rated are only like $10-15 cheaper per tire and only about 5-10 lbs lighter, so no I wouldn't say it's that much of a savings to go with the P over the LT.

I'm so pumped to order these once I get paid next week and then get my lift on. I have it all sitting in my room and the fact that I have to step over three boxes of bilsteins, AALs, and cool springs everyday to get dressed is just killing me lol

And eh, don't worry about deleting them. Lol I asked for them. Not a big deal.. I appreciate the help!

 

Any time. You know i love to help! And I hope to join the lifted club some day

I'm glad you noticed my curbslaying. With hard tires, i can climb curbs and do things that would take normal tires off the bead instantly. they are ridiculously tough.

I take my mall crawling seriously

 

I don't know why, but that last photo made me giggle.

 

Gotta flex'er out from time to time eh?

I can also get side byside comparison if you need it.

Crappy picture but you get the idea. i can make a better picture.

 

Haha I may have climbed a curb or two just because I can

And cool, that actually helps a lot haha it looks good. I just wish tires weren't so damn expensive. Almost $800 for four big rubber donuts. Lol

 

Mine were $600 out the door and his were not much more.

Yours will be expensive because they are bigger and its probably a less popular size.

 

Yea, I'm probably going to have to order them too. No where around here stocks them, and by the time I special order it'll be just as expensive or more lol where'd you get yours at? I still need to check costco, but everywhere else including walmart is almost $100 more than online. Tire rack doesn't even sell Hankook either so I'm going to have to go through discount tire it looks like.

 

I got mine at a mom and pop shop in PA

 

Gotcha. I'm going to check out sears and Costco, but I'll probably end up getting then from discount tire direct

 

I would get their protection package with them just in case

 

Yup. $766 delivered with the certificates for refund or replacement and new valve stems. looks like I'll be ordering at the end of next week or beginning of the following.

 

OUTSTANDING!

 

Today was a bath/mini mod day. Got the truck washed for the first time in a few months clay barred, and waxed. Shiny as hell now.







Also finally got some small tie downs put in by the cubby hole/outlet in the bed. Now I can keep smaller things like oil and has cans from sliding around. I found a 4-pack of surface mount tie downs for cheap at tractor supply. Stuck them in a vice and wacked them with a hammer to bend them in half, and then cut off one of the legs with the dremel since the holes didn't line up. They're originally rated for 400 lbs each so I'm not worried about strength at all.

 

My truck is the exact opposite right now.....totally trashed. Been way too busy.
She's lookin' gooooood

Wondering where you got the cubby hole tie down idea from?

I left both tabs intact so they don't rattle, they stay nice and tight.

 

Haha I've seen it around a few places and have always thought it was a pretty good idea.

That was my original plan, but when I started bending them, the holes weren't lining up so instead of trying to re-drill them, I just cut it off haha

 

I used a hammer and punch to line the holes up
