Default I got my tires and rims finaly.

After about 2 years of slow mods I finaly got to the first stage of how I want my truck...

Very few of you may remember me as sirhilton17 on here, but that account got messed up so I made this one...

Anyways.

Just got on the 33in Mickey Thopson Baja MTZ's on black Dick Cepek DC-1 wheels. I love them... took it mudding yesterday and she hooks like no other... had about 2 inches of clay caked up on it everywhere.
Also, I put in my 4.56 gears in the axles a few weeks back... hated the gearing with my stock tires, LOVE it with these... still plenty of power, 2100 rpm at 70, tows great... love it.
I also stuck in a auburn high performance LSD, wore the first one out in 500 miles beating on it... auburn replaced it for free... when this one goes out I think I will replace it with a eaton LSD or a detroit tru trac LSD.
Overall I LOVE the traction of the LSD... On road it is night and day better than the ****tyass richmond lunch box lockers I went through... as for offroad the traction obviouly isnt as good as a locker would be but it still climbs up stuff better than anyone else ive been with.

Soon I will be putting in 1.7 ratio roller rockers and a fastman TB. cant wait.
