So I tried to find some more mud today, but almost everything was frozen around here. I did manage to find a little though.





Cant wait for things to thaw out so I can really see what these tires can do.

I almost got those type of tires when i had to get new ones, but my teacher owns a tire shop and since we are students he sells tires to us at prices that he pays to get them. I told him what type of tires I wanted and what i was going to do and he said that he just got in some pro comps at the time for somebody else and he told me to come over and look at them. So thats why I have pro comps but I almost order those maxxis mudder. those tires look great tho on your truck

Well, since we still have frigid temperatures here, I haven't had a chance to really test the tires in the mud, but I'm quite happy with them thus far.

What kind of bumper is that on the front of your truck or did you make it?

Unfortunately, it looks like the donkey who previously owned the truck, decided to glue some sort of checkered pattern or sticker to the lights. This was removed prior to me acquiring it, but it has left that yellow residue behind.

I am planning on wet sanding them and polishing them in the future, but it's still really cold outside, and the truck does not fit into the garage due to the lift and tires.

But I do know they look like poo, and the light output really sucks.

You sure it's a residue ... the plastic in these lights turns yellow all on its own. It's so common they sell a polishing kit that does just what you're wanting to do.

Have a close look at this picture and tell me it developed that pattern on it's own.
I'm 100% sure.
