Got the 285/70-17 Goodyear Duratracs put on today.
Here it is sitting on stock suspension (NO level and NO wheel spacers)
Definitely WONT Fit w/o cutting/trimming the Crash bars. I plan to get the Readylift crash bars and have already ordered the 1" level and 1.5" wheel spacers (I want a little poke ?)

LOVE how it's turning out.

Truck looks great! I got the Lariat FX4 and since it was a Super Cab where I couldn't get it with the Tremor package, I bought the suspension and added it on myself. I am looking to get better more aggressive tires for foul weather travels. I'd like to get another set of rims for them too so I can just swap them at home whenever I want. Did it that way on my previous Rangers. I have always been a fan of the BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A K02 tires. My 18" rims came with the 265/60-18 Hankooks. (not a fan BTW). I'd like to get another set of rims and mount a pair of the K02s in 265/70-18. They'll throw the speedo off a little bit but not too bad.

Easy fix for the speedo is to correct it with Forscan. The cable is like 30 bucks on amazon, and the license for the software is pretty cheap too. I describe my process in the link below.

Two things.

1) Vietnam vets comment earlier in this thread really chapped my ass. I can let a lot go. (Warden would argue that point.) But probably a good thing I missed that one in the heat of the moment here today. I may well have ended up banned too. Not gonna lie. Still bugging me. To any Vietnam vets on here, I salute you. Cold War vet myself but I served with Vietnam vets. Damn good soldiers. Shit circumstances. Did their duty. Did it well. I'll shut up on that subject now. Sorry. Hit a nerve.

2) Duratracs - on my POS (Frontier NISMO) years ago, 2nd set of tires were BFG All Terrains. Loved those tires! But 3rd set was GY Duratracs. OMG did I love THOSE tires! When the Tremor needs tires I will be looking at Duratracs regardless of how these Generals do. Seriously was impressed with the GY's.

Mud grip? Better than BFG. Wet roads? Better than BFG. Snow? OMG! There are snow tires that cannot touch the Duratracs.

OK 3 things.... WTF happened here today after my last visit this morning?!?!?!?!? DAYUM!!!!

Edit: Had to come back this morning and reread this entire thread. I quickly read it last night after a work day from hell. Reading it this morning I'm still rather WTF? Wow. Went ugly early. Go figure.

Vietnam vets in regards to restaurant discounts.
Need to let it go... but I am smoking hot here. Completely bullshit comment. Need to take his ass to the wall in DC.

The disrespect is just over the top.

No one has fought for OUR country since WW2. Most have fought for other's counties. And what really sucks is that those other countries have no sense of appreciation for them doing it.
Know what you are saying, and somewhat agree with the sentiment. But don't think your words quite conveyed it the way you meant. All good though.

silly things
Morning Wes. Just my 2 cents. Probably want to drop those type comments here when having a discussion. While I think the same thing here with some of the posts, I don't say it as it can tick people off. If a guy owns his truck, whatever he does to that truck is not silly to him. People are different and like different things. The people that like things different from me can't help it that they are wrong, :LOL: but I always support their right to like it.

Well, except for those Carolina Squat guys....
