Default My New Snow Boots
well last night i got to play a little tetris with my rims and tires to see if i could get them up to the tire shop in my trunk and back seat....i got them to fit so i now know if i ever have to haul 4 rims and 4 tires i can do so. the rims looked better on the car then i thought they would. this may be the first year i am actually looking foward to snow lol. my TPMS didnt go off yet so i am waiting for that to happen soon. on with the pics. oh the car is a little dirty (for my standards) and the tires need some dressing but that will be taken care of later.

All rims same size? Specs on them?

The different rim sizes are probably my biggest annoyance factor for the GXP.

Those look good. Nice find. I bet it feels faster with the less weight on all four corners.

haha thats the easy part of the course,

thats the real stuff, the mud when you step in you lose your shoe. these pics are from 5 years ago when i was 18, the truck looks much different, but i'm not camera happy with it no more.

fyi i spend most my time in the muskag swamps, plowed in to a hidden stump on this one.


We build our trucks for the trails too, we can't do the southern redneck thing up here and just do a bodylift and huge spring blocks to clear 44"s with stock gears and engine that can bearly turn them, all those trucks would tip on the trails.

HAHA by the way, sorry for the hijack.
