Default Woohoo! My beater truck doesn't look so gay anymore.

I finally took off those gay *** 245/75/16s and bought some 285/75/16s. They fit perfect and the truck looks 100% better. Didn't have to trim the bumper or crank on the torsien bars. I'm bored today and just though I'd share.

Yeah, the RCSB is fun to whip around in the snow. The new tires grip like crazy so you really have to stick your foot in it to get the truck out of shape.

I'm with you on that one. I have a 2000 Chevy Silverado Ext cab that had 245's when i bought it. The truck just looks whimpy with those tires. I put on a set of 285's about 2 months ago and that made the difference right there. Everytime i look at it i wonder how i ever drove it with the 245's. Pics are in the link in my profile.

That doesn't work for me because I don't have a locker.

I have a factory G80 unit sitting in my basement but it doesn't do me much good down there.
