Thanks Craig!! I decided to give it a bath today and take a few shots on a rock in front of my shop. I wish the stupid tree wasn't there making all the shadows but owell it is what it is. Here's a couple pics....

I picked up some new tires today!! One of my best CL finds to date. They are Goodyear Wrangler Authorities. I got all four in 31x10.5x15 with under 3k miles on them for $200 they are still like brand new!!!!! I have read mixed reviews but for the price there was no way I could pass on them. I will get them mounted early next week but heres a couple pics for now.

Thanks guys!!

As far as the TBS is concerned I don't really think there is any benefit to it. I think all it does is make an annoying whistling sound everytime you accelerate. I am averaging about 15mpgs right now so there is definatly not a huge gain from it at all. I will be taking it off as soon as I'm not lazy anymore. I would recomend saving your money and get a different mod.

The throttle body mod we are talking about is the removal of the baffle/flange (not sure if thats the correct term for it help me out guys). If you look at the pics of my throttle body you can see that one side has a flat surface where as the other side has a flange sticking off of it. Removing this allows air to get into the motor a little quicker there by inproving low end throttle response. I have not done this mod so I can't speak for its effectiveness but I know there are a couple guys on here that have. Do a search and see what you come up with I think swartlkk has done a small write up somewhere about it.
