Testing out the new tires
Firestone Destination A/T 30x9.50, overall I'm happy with them. Got some odd creaking noise whenever the tires turn or the suspension moves now after this puddle. Gotta check that out tomorrow.

Hard to tell but the first run through the middle of it the water went up to the headlight, if I sat still it was 1/2-3/4 up the tires.

You probably have sand and dirt in the moving parts, take a pressure washer and let the suspension have it.

Got the same tires on mine now aswell....Havnt been able to test them out yet but they are quiet and damn do they look good!

It's the control arm bushings, they were already worn and the muddy water just make them creak now.
Does anyone know of a good offroad park near Murfreesboro, TN? I'm kinda wanting to take it out and get it stuck. =P
Oh, one more thing, should I check the diff fluid after driving through water like that?

I have the same tires, and they work wonderful for playing in a little mud, snow and even some sand. Great all around tire

are any of your vent tubes cracked or bad (ie, soft)?
i wouldn't worry about it otherwise.
you could also run new tubes to a higher location. that way your truck will have to be under water before water would get in them.

I'll have to check on that, I'll be changing the fluid soon anyway so I'll see if its watertight up to that point.
Will probably have another video Wednesday. =]

Your tires did well yesterday. Now if you want to get stuck, I can show you where
