Check the date codes, I've had good looking tires fail.

Well, Blazer got a face lift (Painted the grill) Also, installed new headlight bulbs that are supposed to be brighter than stock, they arent, they are whiter though. I really need to convert to HID type lights.

Also, ditched the aftermarket bulbs and ordered the HID conversion kit for my Lo-Beams and I'll do the Hi's when my wallet (Wife) will allow. Women suck sometimes, and not in a good way...Lol

I learned a lesson, if you can buy both sets of 9005 and 9006 bulbs for $10 shipped, there is a reason they are so cheap. I might have well been sticking a flashlight out the window to drive, it probably would have worked better.

Shes accross the road getting the 31's installed! Can't wait. There is a hill behind my work that i just barely cant clear. Even after the 1.5 torsion and 2" shackle lift i hit the frame before the back tires can clear. Hopefully these new tires give me that little bit more ground clearance i need to make it up the hill. If i make it up the hill there will be pics!

The grill looks so much better all black. I really dislike chrome on anything after 1980.

well, the build is on hold due to it being stuck in 4LO, I tried to locate the issue myself but i lack the diagnostic tools to find the problem. So, its at the shop... Hopefully won't be expensive and they get it done today.. We have 6in of snow coming tonight and ill be pissed if i cant try out the new tires in some snow.

I agree no chrome looks mo betta! You will be happy with those tires in the snow I have had them on a couple vehicles in the past and they do really well.

Yeah, hopefully I'll get to try them out. The shop has not had a chance to look at it yet
