    I would say that's there water getting in there. I put new bulbs in the Volvo using the "extra" bright bulbs from TA. A world of a difference. The lows are twice as bright, so I got the highs in the "silver" from Sylvania. Now the back roads of PA and NY look like daytime.;-)

    So then i go do my taxes......$5100 hellllllls yea! So i went and bought me some rubbers.......33" rubbers :biggrin_2559::biggrin_25522: for my truck. Got one Hell of a deal Tires are $407 EACH, i got them for $345 EACH AND Buy 3 get 1 Free!....so I got FOUR 33 x 12.5 x 16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ, Mounted Balanced, Valve stems, Alignment check, Lifetime Free unlimited Rebalanceing, and life time road hazard (includeing sidewalls) all for $1,287!

    This is what i got:

    Tires will be here mon or tuesday so my dads gonna come get my truck and drop it off so they can do all the work.

    Anywhere else for these tires would have been $1600 + shipping + mount & Balance :biggrin_2555:


    I ALMOST went with option TWO: 4x4 shop, and got Same Tires except in 36" with a 4" Suspension lift.....all for $2500 Installed


    BUT i figured for right now, i stick with my 2.5" suspension lift and 33"s. As it is i have to hop up into the truck. But i gotta do something soon my dads winning. His truck as of last june has 33"s and a 4" body lift, He's about to put 38"s and a 6" suspension lift on it to....cant be letting him win now :biggrin_25523:



    I already have a load for monday, i have to be in Rome, GA by 11am Monday morning to load going to IL. Kinda gonna ruin sunday for me since i'll have to go to bed at 8pm but oh well.
