Congrats on the little guy! Throw some old used tires on it for now and keep an eye out for cool ones on Craigslist.
Yup I have seen them on craigslist. Just gotta save up some spending $$.

Been searching high and low for used tires. Can't decide on 265s or 285s though!! I just picked up 5 - 285/70 R17s today, 3 bfg A/T that 2 are runnable but have wear on outer edges and 2 fierce attitude MTs that have about 1/4 tread or so. I want my tires to at least match though, when I was going to meet the guy I was thinking they were all same style tire so I got them for $50.

Still don't think I am going to run them though.



I did score this for $40 earlier this week and put it on. Looks sooo much better!! Just hate couldn't get it in black.



I also went today and picked up two front fender flares today as well as front electric leather seats and center console from a 02 Z71.

Can't decide if I like the flares or not just yet. Still need to get the bobo metal rims off it.

OFF




ON



Thoughts? Should I find and buy some rears? Keep them black? Paint it all white?

Also where in the world is a good tutorial on putting in aftermarket stereo into one of these trucks. I understand that I have to run an alternate power wire from somewhere, constant hot or just ignition hot? Where do yall run it from? Any pics?
