    Too few to list.
    Did your sliders flex in the middle or does it just look like it in the picture? I would be afraid to put a hi-lift in the middle since its only connected to the frame with two legs.

    Understandable but I can make more than 1.49% investing my money. Is why can't justify paying it off. Now this doesn't really work if you don't have the ability to invest and in that case it would be better to payoff the loan quicker.

    The best part was I retired when I was at the old age of 39.

    Yeah, I often think about that. If I'd have stayed in instead of just going four and out, I'd be at 13s year in. Six years from retirement sounds pretty nice. Although, I could have insomnia, PTSD or a textbook's worth of other unpleasant ailments, so who knows if I made the right call or not.

    No they don't flex. That is what everyone says but hey also attach to the pinch weld and are totally reliable.

    Jim I got a fifth matching spare also but was strictly warned against putting it into the rotation by several sources. I thought it was a good idea but was told not to. All told me only rotate front to back and if you use the 5th it'll have you eventually change the direction of rotation which will shorten tire life. I don't know but it makes some sense

    It a tough decision to make. I had good assignment and great supervisors so it made my decision to stay alot easier. Have you made any claims through the VA? I did shift work while I was in so I don't sleep like im use to anymore.

    Nah, I somehow made it through 4 years without deploying, so there was nothing wrong with me. I probably could have claimed a little hearing loss, but the VA is screwed up enough as it is without me pulling from their coffers. I'd rather leave it to the guys that really need it.

    Yea there's different opinions about doing it or not. Thanks. I'm averaging about 5,000 miles a year, and mostly in town driving so either way I'll have these for a while and will probably do it. Thanks for looking out.

    Had a cooper blow out on my dd the other day when the tire guy looked it up I had 97k on that pair of tires. The fronts only had 50k on them I told him to give me another set just like I had

    Installed an aux trans cooler today. Tomorrow, I'll top off the trans fluid.
    I went with the Hayden 516 cooler because it was one that I had purhased for my '40 but ended up not using. Had to angle it a little bit to clear the AC line. Didn't require cutting any lines. Just pulled the return hose off the hardline beside the engine and bent the hardline bolted to the front support a little bit to get a better angle. Attached the OE hose to the cooler and added 2ft of new hose from the cooler to the OE hardline by the engine. Took about 1/2 qt of ATF to top off.
    I also drilled 4 holes in the bumper to help with the water pooling there whenever I washed the truck.
