I switched from the Michelins to the Goodyears. Much smoother ride (more rubber on the road vs riding on knobs). If you're going to be doing mostly road miles I think its the better tire. If you're going to do a lot of offroading then the Michelins are probably better.
I'm actually just south of Canyon Lake in Spring Branch. If you want to bring the truck over to my place we can compare things side by side. One of the big things a lot of guys are finding is that the circuit breakers and relays are in the wrong spots. You can check the CB cover against what...
We're getting my wife set for a trip to WV (she's taking Herbal Medicine classes and they're going back to treat people in the back country there) and we were shopping for stuff for that and getting excited about the upcoming trip to Big Bend. Anyone that's even thinking of going please jump on...
Sun was shining for part of the day so I snapped a couple of pics of th whoopie light. You can see by the front angle shot how low it sits compared to the cargo cover. I don't think it'll make too big a difference at night as it'll cast a lot of light but during the day will only be seen from...

The only real issue with the truck side of the new tailgate is that the center hinge is missing from the bed. Rather than source a new hinge, rivets, getting everything lined up so it didn't bind, etc, I just decided to pull the tailgate side of the hinge off. Since the tailgate doesn't...
Picked up the new tailgate last night and to my relief it fits! I knew it was the right size just wasn't sure they'd get the hinges located the same on all the trucks. If the gate isn't a NOS piece then it was on a very low mileage truck. Physical condition is outstanding and even the bumpers...
