    They were awesome, no complaints at all. Only moved on from them to step up to 38's (honestly didn't need to make that move, but oh well....). They gave great traction on the rocks, and when aired down gave me the flex I needed. And were quieter than my XS's. I'd have gone with them in 40's last year or 42's this year, if they weren't so dang expensive.

    Great to know and thank you for the response. How's the build coming along? I'm waiting for steering parts on mine.

    Probably another few weeks to go. Told the fab guy he didn't need to rush. But man, am I looking forward to getting it back once it's completely done!

    I keep telling my fab guy (myself) to hurry up. I'd be done by now if it wasn't for the whole job thing. I can't wait to see how yours comes out, looks great so far.

    Well, it's in and "running" still have a few more things that need to be done, but it's good to be at this stage of progress! It's been a long time coming!



    Few of the progress pics…

    Intake was finished last week. Winch control relocation done. Water methanol kit just recently finished. Dual PCV kit slated for Thursday. And Friday the truck is off to get tuned. Monday and Tuesday hopefully wrap up the last of the steering and brakes. Then over the holiday it should be getting the wrap removed and a nice paint touch up. Completion is in sight!!!
