    Lets see some before and after shots. Have new wheels and tires planned? A 265/75 tire minimum <32" or go bigger with a 33" should fill the wheel well nicely.

    Im at the tightest truck stop I've ever been in, no room anywhere to maneuver.
    I've watched 2 side mirrors crumple and these guys and gals are having a really hard time.
    I feel bad but none of them have any common sense.

    1- if you're waiting for someone to park at night and your lights are pointing right in the cab you should turn them off so that they can see better and park faster.
    Also not a good idea to keep flashing your high beams at them because your in a hurry.
    Why people need to have their lights in a lit up parking lot is completely beyond me anyway.
    I just have my parking lights on and when im moving i run my hazards.

    2- If your outside helping people park its a good idea not to have sandals on, and not to be wearing all black on account you will inevitably trip and fall and get run over.
    Also when you're signalling the driver do you honestly think they can see you?
    Even if you're properly dressed how about we use this new miracle device called a flashlight to signal with.

    3- why are 5 people trying to signal at the same time from all around the truck? 1 is sufficient and efficient.

    4-if its taking you more than a half hour to try and get into a spot (especially with help) im pretty sure you're not going to fit or are going to cause damage.

    5- if someone is parking in front of you don't pull right up to them, they need room. Now you have to backup along with 5 other trucks that need to back up.

    6- Don't be an ass on the radio, after all if you're so good at it then why aren't you helping? I guess making fun of is a better option when you're in a hurry :notsure:
    And im sure those people have never ever had a hard time parking.



    I don't understand these people out here, they really have no common sense.
    Im actually surprised that the lot of them are still alive.

    I probably should have tried to help but im to tired and i had slippers on and i was wearing black.


    Just my .02

    I've got a set of 265/70/17 Rugged Treks on 17x8.5 TE37 knockoffs to go on. It'll be a few weeks before it all goes on. Maybe when those tire wear out I'll go to 285/70/17. This is the 265's on it at stock height. It rubbed quite a bit.

    Thanks. I was very hesitant to do the bronze wheels on a silver truck instead of gunmetal grey or black ones but I like how it turned out.

    Bronze is underrated. I was hesitant at first too, but love mine.
