    No, all your big lugs are on the outside tire says "this side outboard"

    Passenger front on Adams sons truck has big lugs on the inside, that's wrong.

    I've got about 37k on my 285's and I'm at about 9/32 which is around Half-Life. What a fucking tire is all I have to say. It'll take anything you throw at it....anything....

    I've done a mod or two
    1st gen rear bearings and seals always seem to draw confusion (ABS, tone rings, axle shaft bent or not, how far to press the bearing, whether or not you need a special press) plenty of people here have done them and then had to redo them. Just research and make sure the place that does it has the proper equipment to press the bearings on.

    The radiator stuff I have personal experience with if you have questions.

    On my bumper I lined up the bottom of the swingouts with the bottom of the tailgate with these measurements if it helps you out any.

    For you people talking about armor, I'm too lazy to tag you, I happen to know a guy who's selling a used bumper for a pretty good price. (Nudge nudge)

    I'm changing out the front rotors and pads next week, been due for while since it takes the truck like a whole mile to stop. Should I bother flushing and bleeding the brake fluid? I bought one of those brake bleeds at HF.

    Truck has about 80,000 miles on it.

    If the brake fluid looks "dirty" i would. Brake fluid is odd shit, but last a while usually. Its biggest thing that can happen to it over time is absorb moisture if there isn't a good seal at the cap and that can lead to a slightly softer pedal feel if not maintained. But that doesn't happen often. Usually only happens if you use old brake fluid in an unseal bottle.

    Those are the wrong type of lug nuts for your wheels.

    Your lugs should look like this:

    I just added a couple of off-road lights to the grill of my truck, using 7-inch single-row LED bars.
    These are angled slightly to the side, for my version of 'ditch' lights.

    I didn't want to screw up the clean aerodynamics of the factory body or create wind noise,
    so I avoided placing lights on the roof, or anywhere above the hood.
