Well guys my tires finally got here yesterday and they are everything I had expected and huge,Jonathan from FTS was excellent to deal with. I am now wanting to know if I ll have any clearance issues up front?

I wanted to post an update things have been slow going with the holidays and the weather working in an open field can be a pain. I have 4 stock rims I am primering and getting ready to mount my new tires waiting on my tubes to get hear from UPS. I also got the jump on an LDS465 in the can rebuilt in 2008 and never used for 600$ will be picking up in the next couple of months. I still haven't got a bed yet and trying to find one and stay in budget has been a pain. I might be buying a place so trying to watch my money. I hope next week I can get a break in the weather.

Heres a new pic fellas. Its been a pain working in the mud and the other night I witnessed Mr Mcgills barn burn down while waiting on my ride all the animals were killed. It was a nightmare I ll never forget.

Thumbs up for your progress. After getting her roadworthy in a muddy field, any subsequent repair work on a flat (yawwn) concrete pad (yaaaawwwn) under a roof (Zzzzzzzzzzz) will sound tremendously boring!

I know right! I complain about working on my truck sitting outside in my driveway. I would really never work on it if it was sitting in a muddy field somewhere.
