Looks really good.

Only problem is the crapyears.
I traded in my 03 harley davidson screw with the same crap years. Most people were switching to hankooks or toyo's on the nhtoc.com website.

But, at least you look good.

I guess that's why they were so cheap. Too cheap to pass up. They were like $50 a tire cheaper. I figure if I get 25K out of them I'll be happy and can upgrade then.

Also, how much sound (not droan) get into the cab while accelerating or on the highway?

Many thanks,

Duke
I just ground off the corner of the hanger bracket that came in the kit. Then i just drilled a hole threw the hitch bracket on the top inside. The reason to grind off the corner is to make it mount flush at the top corner due to the hitch bracket is curved at the side. I did the same to both sides, just reversed the grounded corner. I will take better pics of that in a couple of days, cause it is too hot here and i will drop the spare tire down to get a close up. The sound is not bad on the inside and at hwy. speeds. If you get on it it sounds great...

Thanks for all the favorable comments guys. I am feeling so much better about my setup already that I have decided to stay up maybe as late as 11:00pm tonight. The wifey isn't here to make me go to bed on time tonight! Oh yeah, I'm am really really cutting loose now! I may go drink a beer after 9 just on principal.
Sorry, i have had them for about 4 weeks. Discount tire had several problems getting them in and they took care of me. Look close at my center caps, they are different than yours. I didn't like the ones that came with it because of the rough finish. If those were polished completely i would of gotton those. They switched those out for me for free when i ordered them. To answer your question, yes i finally figured out how to put up a gallery!!

Thank you very much. Yeah I plan on getting it, but after your description I doubt I'll be able to do it myself. I have limited tools for a job like that. I have a drill and drill bits, just worried about creating a rust spot there since I live in MN. I wonder if the tips would rust too?

I live in Michigan, everything is stainless and wont rust. Just paint the hole where you drilled it and purchase stainless nuts & bolts. The grinding of the bracket is simple. I used a cut off wheel, but you could use a hack saw. Tips won't rust, nothing will rust, that is the main reason i went with Magnaflow!!!
