First of all, prices seem pretty great! Am I correct there?

lol i like your style! Having parts in places like the dining room is my M.O. :)

I haven't done w/ a large set of tires lol - so does your house smell like the Les Schwab/any tire center inner warehouse where it's nothing but that fresh rubber smell? I'm guessing:
  1. Dining room and approaching
  2. Seeping into the rest of the main areas!
🤣🤣🤣 I like it in a twisted way! I would enjoy the smell, as it brings warm thoughts/happy thoughts!!
BUT the wife... not so much!!🙄
(hypothetically speaking)

But I've had plenty 'Temp Storage' when it comes to purchases for smaller parts for the truck, and being a mart home fanatic; it has been bad!

I'm going strong at 55k (that's w/ screwing them up a big w/ some cupping - cheapo spacers & no alignment - AMATEUR HOUR!!!)

Bastards last quite a while WHEN you have ulterior motives and want some type of rationale to go w/ larger wheels & tires! I want them GONE so I can upgrade wheels & tires to go larger.

Getting off topic below...

With the below parts and real life examples to go off, it's time for 33X12.5 R20 0 offset
  • High clearance crash bars
  • Ford Ranger Lifts 2" Tremor leveling kit
  • Taller rear blocks to match 2" additional height to the rear (apparently I'm the only one in the Ranger & Tremor world who LIKES the rake! No exaggeration; I'm on an island!!!! :)
  • Found that Bilstein makes EXCELLENT SHOCKS, putting the Tremor tuned Foxes to shame.
    • To ensure the travel for extra 2" on rear shock; Bilstein B8 5160s & used their nicelooking black clamp for reservoir
  • SIDE NOTE: I'll be adding AVS Lightshield Pro Wind Deflector and w/ the Amber Led lighting, it adds a visual effect to the very front of hood; making for a stronger look to the front end and I love the lights.
Just an opinion... I wanted AVS part for the slick look of lights, the overall effect should be great and a bonus!
I needed a heart eyes and laughing emoji reaction for this one..😍😂

Mine came with Grabbers. I've got 22k miles on the truck and they're about 75% used up. I never get good mileage out of tires or brakes. Fortunately,,, I got a replacement set back in July at 50% off. $200/tire after taxes and shipping. I need to get them mounted cuz I'm tired of them in my dining room.

You could do what I do sometimes when I get tired of car parts/pieces in my dinning room… I put them in the living room… I wish I had a garage again 🥲 I’m not fond of apartment living conditions..

Makes it/me slightly more insane since I have no legit reason, such as no garage 😝

lol i suppose the reality is that wheels would never make it inside, even with me being on the twisted side!

But the smaller parts - I see what I can get away with!
