yea, the fronts still had some life left. one thing I found is that for the dyno, the stock wheels will give you better numbers from the size and weight of the tire.

as far as parking in gear, only if on a good incline will I put it in gear now. also I'll open the door to pop the hood.

finaly heres a pic from the front. I like the stance she has now. beasty also has a better presence on the road. . .people got out of my way before. . .now they just get out of my way sooner

the second pic is of the carnage, and also to show another angle on how steep my back yard is.

and yes Nick. . .my truck is in gear on those pics.






on a side note, the tree on the left is what stopped my truck from going WAY back into my yard and hitting a red oak tree that is about 3ft in diameter.

It's a wonder you came away with as little damage as you did.

Imagine having to change your oil and stuff while your truck is parked on that hill. THAT is what life is like for me ....
