New Tires.

Well, it was about time. 4 warnings for bald tires so I got new ones. Went from 265/75/16 to 235/70/16. There smaller and I love them, heres before and afters.

The 235/70's



The 265/75's

Its not like my truck travels over off-road. The others where rubbing all the time, and im only going lower. Why not also get fast, 265/75 to a 235/70 is a huge difference not only in size.

Truck would look pretty good with that lower valance color matched, along with mirrors and door handles :P Still looks good though.

I want XLT mirrors but my bank is broke man. I'll probably skip on the handles I kinda like them black. If I didnt rub on the 265's I would got them again.

yeah man you need to get some XLT mirrors my truck is an XL also but mines a longbed V6 made a huge differnce to me, i got a pair of um off ebay for 60.00 free shipping, but mine has the chrome covers, idk what color you would want, i had to search um on google then find a link for um just for 60, u just type it in all i found was 80 cheapest, you could look at a junkyard for um also, i did and found some but he wouldnt sell um to me, he said customer would want mirrors on the doors and i offered to give him my olds ones to put back on for free, but still wouldnt do it... But i got new ones for around as much as he wouldve sold um to me for... if you do decided to get um its preety easy to install, im 15 and i had it done in no time, but i did break one henge trying to get the door panel lined back up to the holes...

Mirrors are a cake walk I know this. Getting money isn't. Hopefully the junk yard has some. I like your truck man.
