Regarding your quest for a burnout video, I would not feel compelled to make that happen. If you're going to sell those wheels, you might as well sell them with some tread left on the tires. Plus, burnouts are just plain hard on the whole drivetrain. Don't get me wrong, I have done my fair share. But at some point the feeling of taxing the vehicle overrules the desire for smoke and fury.
Absolutely agree, I actually really hate damaging my toys.

The truck is no1 a hobby, no2 a functional tool for if I need a car or second car, should I lose my job, or Sally needs to use my company car, on which she is insured.
I also try get along with as little damage, and even the Klaxon horn wires were threaded through an existing hole.

Burnouts, agreed, not my thing to do, and as much as they can be entertaining, they do get tedious and the merciless destroying of cars and tyres just completely clashes with my sanity and logic.
