Installed new Rain X wipers on my truck in anticipation of the monsoon we are forecasted to get (as well as the incoming winter temps)

make sure you post pics when you get that done, but that goes without saying.

drove to my buddies land and sat in tree stands for opening day, didnt see nothin. then went home for thanksgiving break. drove it to and from work, and then towards the end went to another friends land to a fire, and got to drive around in the woods some. nothing major but its the most mud ive had on it so far. still would like to get dirtier, this was all in 2wd. the terra grapplers cleaned themselves out pretty well, i was quite glad.

Ordered a 1.5 inch Autospring and now looking for tires. I'm thinking 285/70-17 in either Terra Grapplers or Hankook Dynapro ATM but leaning toward the Nittos.
