    Oh snap.. I didn't think about the tie down... I use mine a ton and wouldn't want to lose it. Guess I'm back to the Bakbox or ESP storage...

    I am looking to go with the same size and brand of tires. Let me know what they look like and how they ride if you don't mind.

    Finally got around to putting my Rancho Quick Lift leveling struts in. The CV axle on the passenger side gave us some fits, but nothing a little more time and money couldn't fix..all in all it went pretty smooth and I couldn't be happier.

    Today, I de-badged/de-stickered the thing, then washed and waxed it as much as my level of patience allowed.

    I've been running this exact tire for around 7k miles. They ride smooth and so far the wear is even. Mine are the P rated not LT

    You don't have to lose the tie down. You can cut or grind down the part of the bracket that would require removal of the tie down without significantly affecting the structural integrity. I have my Swing Case and I still have my tie down for when I need it. And the Swing Case is very easily removable when you need to.

    I bet. Not gonna lie, little :jellydance: over here. Honestly considering picking up a part time side hustle to get rid of the payments on the Tundra and the Quadzilla. But I sure do like having my time off.

    Did my shackles several weeks ago and same deal but found that my race bearing 39.5mm was the perfect fit and used it along with a ball joint tool. My ball joint kit I had did not have the correct diameter pieces to press the sleeve out. I also read somewhere that a 24mm socket is the correct diameter to press sleeve out.

    Enjoy your time, you can't ever buy that back. I've worked way too much the last 25years. Paying things off is great, but not at the expense of losing quality time of life. Balance is key, however you can find it;

    I don't hate 'em. I bought them very lightly used (about 5k miles). I was originally planning on going with 315/70/17s, but with the deal I got on these, I changed my mind. They are pretty quiet on the highway for the type of tire they are. I'd definitely buy them again....especially at a good price.

    Nice clean install, nice work. I have considered doing this, is the sound deadening necessary? Is it that much louder without it?

    Great setup! I have the same but in black on 35s Ridge Grapplers. I would have liked your brighter color but it wouldn't have looked good on smoked Mesquite.

    You trying to show off your sick boat by posting that picture?...because it worked! Love that it color matches the truck too.
    Also love the bumper. Makes me wish I got the 4/2 SST instead of a 3 inch.
