    Just curious, why do you want to change them out. I know they are a pain but if not working it that much they will do the job. Guess what i mean by that it shouldn't be needing tire replacement very often. A few years back other than spoke, thats all we had.

    Honest truth is i want to keep the 24.5 tall rubbers & i didn’t see an option to buy 24.5 Durabrights. Now i admit highly polished lvl 1’s look way better than Durabrights, but i’d rather not have the hassle

    Are those the old style Budds with that funky nut and stud. Those were a pain, and why most went with "unilug" Budds. And yeah, don't do the inserts. I painted mine gray.

    Well, couldn’t be happier. I charged the batteries up & with barely a tap of the key she roared to life. This truck hasn’t been touched in the better part of 3 years. Got her fired up & after letting her run & warm up for a while. I took her for a small ride thru town, at most i put a mile on her. So happy right now. This weekend she is getting a full service. Fresh oil in both rears, trans, motor, new filters, flush radiator, fresh grease throughout. Take the drives off & put on my little utility trailer. New shoes next week. Hoping i don’t find any major mechanical issues this week/weekend. If not i’ll be ordering my interior on Monday. I’ve a long road ahead & this just the beginning, but boy am i stoked about it
