I dont have anything to do tomorrow so I think I might see what CC has. Ive been thinking of getting a new reciever and DVD player, maybe something will catch my eye.
Wouldnt mind finding something for the 97 either. Im tired of the stock radio in it...

I was just on the CC website about 10 minutes ago thinking I would be able to see all their products, but all I can see is a message about them going out of business.

JD790, glad to see your laundry list of "for sale" items is shrinking rapidly. Any hints yet as to how big you are going with the Screw? I'm thinking about doing an add-a-leaf to my rear suspension and cranking my t-bars for a little change of height. I can't go big with my truck, but I can pretend

Thanks - I was having really good luck until yesterday. Some guy called me up on Tuesday and really really wanted the wheels but said he was from Grand Island and asked if I would hold them until Friday when he could come pick them up. So I agreed. Took them to work yesterday, and he never showed up. Now he won't return my calls or emails. Bastard. Only sucks because I told 2 other potential buyers that I was holding them for sale but at least I kept their phone numbers. I'm going to call them today and tell them they are still for sale. I'll get them sold, I'm not too worried about it.

The new truck I would really really really love to do a 6" suspension with 3" body lift and 37's or 38's. I've been looking hard at the toyo mud tires even though everyone and their dog has them. In the 16" wheel size though the toyo only comes in a 38x14.50x16. Of course I would be upgrading to 4.88 gears then since my stock 3.55 gears wouldn't cut it. I'm basically waiting for some warmer weather and for all of my parts to be sold so I can start buying some new ones! Just waiting to find some good deals too - I can get some pretty good deals at work but I'm just exploring all my options (ebay, craigslist, etc.). Was hoping to find maybe some used wheels again like I did with my '07 but wheels are hard to find in a 5x135 bolt pattern.

Well, hope everyone is going to enjoy the weather today. Not sure what I'm going to be doing, but hopefully I will find something outside to do for a while!

I'm taking my boys to the park, then power washing my truck and wife's van. Tried to pick up dog poop in the backyard, at least what wasn't frozen to the ground yet:o Oh the joys of family life

Yes it is. Been thinking of a locker for the rear when I do the gers but we'll see what funds will allow.

Let us know when you are going to do your lift. I could always be a tool gopher or extra set of hands if you need. If you want to sell your LS 3.55, let me know. I would think about buying that from you.

You guys should help me find a good deal on some 35x12.50x18 inch tires. If you guys know of anyone around the eastern nebraska area selling some that are nearly new, let me know. I'm in Fremont.

Terra Grapplers. They have absolutley NO offroad ability.:o




Ive seriously been thinking of switching to 17" wheels.
A lot easier to find a 33 inch tire for a 17 inch wheel, and cheaper...

Thats why I'm thinking about 18" rims compared to 20" rims, I'm 18 right now, so I don't have all the money in the world.
