    I got 2 new tires from Tire Rack comming in Tuesday! Got my old boss to buy them for me, saved $5 a tire. Getting them for $45 each, shipped! :-D

    Wow, with new tires I can drive over 50MPH! Old ones were bad and made the truck shake at 50MPH or so...

    My GPS should be here Tuesday, just waiting on a phone call for an interview... Then if all goes well, I am heading to the Northern Command Center. :-D

    Them suckers are wide as wide as two tires off my truck lined side by side if not wider. and the front tires rub the bumper when you make turns nasty noise but boy can that thing get down and dirt and still haul butt. (5.9L 360 Cubic inch V8 with K&N cold air intake, AWD with limited slip diff, Locking torqconverter, sport tuned suspension and so much more who ever bought this thing new made sure it had the power to back its mean look)

    See what my little old Isuzu P'UP did on the way back from Texas? i wish i got the photo as it hit it but i forgot and i did not even remember til afew days after i got home lol
