not bad, one question, how come you didn't go with the 31? i am running no lift with 31 and i have a thrush welded 2 chambered muffler. she sounds great .

Money my friend, plus i needed the tires in a hurry as I did not pass insepection with my rear tread. 31's can be ran with no lift, but i had a hard time finding them and they were pretty expensive for what i found. So i went with the 30's going to be getting some spacers soon to get the agressive look.

yeah, 31 are pretty expensive b/c alot of trucks now a days run them stock. i got mine from a friend(50 for all 4)who didn't need them anymore b/c he is putting 33 km2 on his rig. thats why i am going to a 16" wheel so i can get a bigger tire for less money. spacers are nice, i wanted some too but b/c of the whell i am getting, i don't thing i will need one. how are the flowmasters?

I had put a flowmaster 40 on once i baught it 5 years ago. then i decieded that it was not LOUD enough so i went to a cherry bomb, which rusted out after about 3 years. Did what i could to fix it but nothing lasted. Went back to they flowmaster 40 this past summer. I have been impressed with the mufflers and the craftmanship for many years. Plus the local miekie can install them in less than a hour. I have seen other exhaust for the s10 series trucks and was not impressed with the sound at all.

same, i hated the sound that cam from gibson. i went with thrush b/c i was a lot cheaper than the flow 40s and i think it sounds better too. a little louder, much deeper sound, and when i blow the doors off someone, it scars the crap out of them. oh, and u can't hear it on the highway (big plus for me). i paid 20 bucks for everything too. so, how often do you wheel your rig?

I try to get out a few times a month. there is actually this place that is no tresspassing but the township uses it to dump dirt, so its gets plenty of muddy and puddles everwhere. i try to get down there after a good hard rain or snow. Other than that it might be when i go out hunting.

yeah, i try to go out and my truck dirty a few times during the month. i don't really like to go mudding thow. i've never been stuck, but it gets kida boring. i like to go trail riding. the picture i showed you happened a few days ago, my buds and i went on a 50 mile trail ride. wasn't really hard, but i like seeing the country side instead of going back and forth in the same hole that other go through. oh, and i also like rock crawling. itspretty phone to see the looks on ppls faces when they see a 4 door going up some rocks.
