Fresh set of shoes.

After much front end rebuilding, and way too much time on the alignment rack, got the truck ready, and jammed on a fresh set of Hercules Trail Digger MTs in 35x12.50 /17. Got the best of the old set mounted up and put in place under the bed too!

In the shop getting them put on...


At home.
Sorry about the BBall hoop, it was a better shot than with my wife's car in the way...


They roll out pretty good, although I need to have the balance checked, there is a little bit of a vibration that I can feel in the wheel between 65 and 70...

Overall, I am happy with these tires, hence the second set... Well worth the $$. They dig like crazy in the mud, and shed water REALLY well in the torrential rains... Not sure how they would handle snow and / or ice, and honestly I don't care. I don't get much of that stuff here in Coastal Texas...

Winch mount brush guard, mount up the Winch and the Pro Comp off road lights. Repaint. Or replace the nerf bars.

Gotcha. Now if I remember correctly it's a little difficult to install a winch on these trucks with the design of the front end. How were you planning on installing it, or am I just losing it haha

Not sure if you are old enough to remember the Chevy Luv pickup, but a friend of mine in high school had one, and part of his road side emergency kit was bailing wire. That i pretty much what held that little truck together after a while...

With the right rims they should fit, but the better question is, why would you make your first post in a forum trying to hijack someone else's thread?

If this is what shoes look like on a f150, what does a fresh pair of boots look like?
