Pretty good condition, 3 have no marks, one has some peeled finish from the old weights. And ya they are, i just really dont like em and cant find a single 33" tire any where for a decent price! Im not buying new tires, used or somethin.

 

I bought GoodYear Wrangler Authorities in 265/70/17 flavor which are just under 33" for roughly $184 or so a tire, was like $984 or something with the road hazard warranty and what not....

 

Merc, your truck is looking great, as always. Are the Mogs still on the list in the future sometime?

 

Just got back from getting the inspection on my dad's truck.

Ever since I got my Ram, I have disliked his truck.
Maybe it's the shocks....

 

Thanks WR

I don't think they will make it into this truck anymore, I am just not sure what direction I should go with this thing. For what I would like to do to a truck I think it's best I find a beater 2500 2nd gen and just start from scratch.

 

Your truck is FAR too nice to hack up and turn into a trail rig. I think that finding another truck to start with (for a wheeler) is a great idea. If you want to keep working your 1500 though, maybe swapping the axles from a heavier duty truck would be a good idea, since you like to run the big tires/lift (not to mention built 360's...). An 3rd gen AAM swap would be SWEET. But even 2nd gen 60's or a 60/70 swap would be an improvement.

 

Are 33s on 16s gonna fill out your wheel wells? Going by your sig pic you've already got quite a bit of empty space...

 

Not as much as id like but I have 4.10 gears and really dont have the money nor reason to justify a regear so a 33 is about as big as i can go safely.

 

I love craigslist...picked up a bed tool box for $15 and a set of 96 chrome wheels with center caps and almost new 265/75-16 Kelly Safari tires for $100.

 

Got the gap in my exhaust plugged up, straight pipe to the muffler, I haven't gotten it all welded up yet, but it sounds good.
