    Haha thanks, Kinda wish I kept that setup but seeing that I drive 60 miles+ everyday between school/work. Wasn't too economical for me lol. But my new job is paying well, so I've been thinking about stepping back up to 33x12.5 :D

    Yeah I feel you I have an apartment 120 miles away and I'm there pretty much every weekend visiting the gf lol. Do that all summer 'till fire seasons over. Went from 17-19 with 265/70/17 at's to like 15-17 with these duratracs lol. Wish I would have went wider to be honest...the 285 trail grapplers are like 12" wide think they'll be my next tire.

    Got quoted a price for the sub box I wanted. Wanted to replace the whole center console with a box that extended to the floor in back and housed a JL 12w3. Shop said it was def possible. But wanted $1,000 for a fiberglassed box! Fack that. Thinking of doing a JL13TW5 now...13.5" shallow mount sub 600w RMS, will bang. In talks with Mr. Marv about a box similar to this one: [​IMG]

    It's a ten, and it came out to be about 1.2 cubic feet of airspace

    I bought the power slot rotors and ceramic pads from Wheelers and they seem great. Looks like Summit has them for $20 cheaper?

    Sick truck, love it.

    I want to paint the chrome bumpers on mine--what prep did you do? Did you have to sand all the chrome garbage off, or just quick sand and prime/paint right over it?

    Also, could you put the AAL on with the stock shocks, or did you have to upgrade? I want to put a little pop back into my flat leaf springs, but don't want to shell out the $$$ for whole nine yards...
