What Did You Do To Your Truck Today? v2.0

It didn't take me long to stack 800 miles on them. (I am demanding a company truck soon) so I have a god feel for them:

Excellent road manners, and quiet.

The quiet is relative. I am comparing them to those mud tires I have been stuffing on the last few years. Compared to the street tires they have a slight hum at highway speed. They balanced perfectly, the last couple sets of 34 inch tires I had were a bastard to balance.

I have not done a big off-road test yet, I had to drag an equipment trailer of a mountain, but as most of you have seen on the news, the northwest is dry as a popcorn fart. I need to find some mud

Cool. After you've used 'em off-road, I'd be curious to hear what you think.

I'm thinking about getting some new tires and possibly wheels this Spring. So, I'm not in a rush. But, I like to be thorough in looking at different options.

Just got back from an extented weekend little road trip. It was about a 500 round trip and with the 6.2L I averaged about 17.5 mpg. I was impressed.

Actually drove it. It's been a few weeks since I last took it for a spin.

I changed out all the hoses on the 02. The original ones seemed to be in great shape but I figured I was on borrowed time. $86 bucks for the hoses on Rock Auto. Took me two three hours to accomplish. Refilled with fresh AMSOIL Antifreeze/Coolant. It took 2.5 gallons to fill it back up. I would post some pictures but my Photobucket account is not letting my pictures from my phone upload.

The other "new modification" photo spot. The big 4x4s moved enough gravel around that I wasn't afraid of getting high centered.

My truck may have had better clearance but this little car can climb some crazy gravel slopes.

Drove the Hoe around Santa Fe. It struggles a bit at 7,200ft.

The elevation of Santa Fe. Merging and passing up here is a completely different experience. It's like driving a car from the 70s or 80s. Give it had gas and it mainly just makes noise.

Time for a Supah-Chargah!

Seen this on another forum and decided I needed to do it. I just have to get my carpet and contact cement to finish it.
