    Yeah angle doesn't show the space. Don't doubt there could be ample flex but it would have to be along the frame in a linear fashion to close that gap. Glass wouldn't take the same amount of stress. I bet that was interesting to see though.

    You should chop off that exhaust tip before it destroys your bedside. Cheap easy mod.

    Also, my lawn is green already. Anyone else? I just threw down some Scott's Lawn Feed this evening.

    Gotta pick up the dog poo before I attack the backyard though.

    curious as to what tires y'all are running. I am coming up on needing new rubber and since i'm planning on moving to Bozeman this summer, i figured i should ask y'all what works and what doesn't

    I'm a fan of the Big O AT. They're made for Big O tire by Cooper. Had them on the Taco, then the Runner and now the Chevy. They've kept me on the road in all of the vehicles and never any issue. The set I had on the Runner had a little over 50k on them. If you catch a sale they won't break the bank either. As long as they don't try to do some stupid redesign I'll keep buying them for ever.

    General Grabber ATX. The "poor man's" BFG KO2's. Had a set of the AT2s on last. Awesome tire, can't say enough about them.

    I'll look at those for sure, I was actually thinking of going with a set of coopers (they were my choice if i go with Pizza Cutters) and comparing the two they look almost identical to the ATP.
    I considered the BFGs but they're so pricy. from what i've heard it's mostly brand name that you're getting for the price instead of extra performence. I know a whole bunch of people who have run them and loved them but i'm still not entirely sold.
    This was actually one of my two top choices. I was looking at either the Generals or a set of Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs and was sold on the Goodyears until i started reading some of the reviews about tread life and balancing issues. great looking tire but those are some sacrifices i'm not willing to make on my Daily. Think i'm going with the Generals...until i change my mind again:D;).

    Thanks for your advice!

    personally I run the Kuhmo road ventures, and they’ve done me great so far. I can’t tell you how many times I get stuck in ditches and/or have to pull my buddies out and the tires are great in getting traction. The big o tires here in Bozeman is a really cool place thou, they have super friendly people it’s probably one of the most friendly tire stores I’ve been to before.

    I run hankook ATM most the year. But I got Cooper MS snow tires this year for winter.

    The ATMs great. Super quiet and last forever. They do good in the snow but after buying real snow tires I'm never going back. So worth it.
