    Vibes are pretty common, check out a carrier bearing drop, you will want your driveshaft as straight as possible.

    Im in the quad cities(davenport) and I wonder if anybody knows a place nearby to take my truck offroad a bit? I grew up in Cedar Rapids on a farm and had all kinds of toys, ie quads, go-karts, etc. . .I could rip around the farm on them and I also knew of all the places to go wheelin around that part of the state. . .now I'm lost in the QC?????

    Thanks Bro! What's the best place to pick up some Goodyear Duratrac's around here? My Michelin highway tires sucked in that first snow:D.

    Cool. I have had some work done at Dale's Tires on several other vehicles, thought you guys might have some more ideas. I'll check out Flatt.
    Thanks!

    Both were good to work with. Sams doesn't carry the tires your looking for, but they may be able to order them.

    Goodyear seemed to be a little on the high side for price. I also needed my front shocks replaced so i had them do that at the same time too.

    I've always like Kumho for a price point and quality level.

    Yeah I've been reading those are poor in the snow and ice though. Duratrak are real expensive, but I've heard nothing but good things about them. What's your opinion?

    I had em on my Eclipse a few years ago, seemed great year round, obviously not the same tire, but I was impressed with the ones I had.

    I've been looking at getting the yokahama geolander at/s for my next set of tires. They get pretty good reviews and won't break the bank.

    Any of you have Soft covers on your beds? Just wondering if mine will hold up for the winter or have it rolled up due to weight issues?
