I installed new tranny cooler and degreased and cleaned the engine bay today. Cleaned up pretty darn well.

And I think my tires measure just under 32", so why bother going to 35"s?
haha you'll be winchin a lot! though my 2wd stock height S-10 did pretty damn good offroad. People were shocked that it made it to the top of Taylor mtn, and up the hill I took it up without getting stuck. on street tires even! not even all terrains haha. I just had my 79 honda XR250 in the truck bed incase I got stuck I could go fetch help on the bike, but I never had to take it out of the bed. and it was good weight for traction. that old bike weighs 350lbs.

So far I've had the truck in sand and mud, with both set's of tire's that's been on the truck, plain ole Good Year Tracker 2 street tires, and Good Year Wrangler Authority's. So far the only thing to stop me is the sand, maybe I need to air down but at 45PSI them rear's dig like crazy.....

The Authority's are pretty awesome in the mud...

You'd be surprised what these trucks can do with the right amount of momentum

Removed the toolbox and remounted my cb antenna and rerouted the wire. So far I like the look a whole lot better.

Any suggestions on where to remount the 6x3" lights I had on my toolbox?

I was thinking flush against the trailer hitch, but I would have to relocate the trailer wiring harness, which is welded to the hitch.

Oh and a few days ago somebody's propane tank exploded in their double wide...Thats me standing in the trailer NEXT to the one that exploded..Only the foundation was left from the other one
