Sweet truck Chris! I'm curious if you notice a gas milage change with the bigger tires, since you were getting awesome gas milage before (make sure your speedometer is accurate before you calculate it). Be sure to write up a thread when you get ready to install the turbo!!

It had 31s on it when I got and really there wasn't much difference between them and the 30s mileage wise. I haven't filled up yet with the 31s I just put on but I expect it to be similar. These measure out a little shorter than the 31s that came on it so they aren't as bad gearing wise but I still instantly noticed the difference from the 30s.

I'll definitely show off the turbo build up. I probably wont start on it till around spring time or so.

I had to go with Bpark on this one, I'm a sucker for 5 speeds and sports!

Thanks, guys.
It doesn't matter who wins, I just think it's cool to showcase 3 different trucks. Every truck means something to whoever owns it, or else it wouldn't be here.

I'm not a big fan of the 05+s but I really like yours!

On a side note she's now locked and ready to rock! This No-Slip is smoooooth, it's so nice to be DD'ing a locked vehicle again, I can actually take off and go instead of spinning one tire. It gets sideways no problem in 2nd on dry pavement, the rain is going to be a hoot. God I love lockers.

Thanks, Hahns. I know what you mean about lockers. I ran a Detroit locker in my 85 toyota for about 10 years with no trouble and lots of fun times. I had 5.29 gears and 35's on it as well. Sold it last Christmass and then started on my 05 so I had room to take the wife and kids when they want to come out and play.
