    It's cheaper than a lifted Texas truck? Maybe he can lift the mini van? Or put an air suspension in it.

    You gave up on open deck, and went to van.

    Well looking at the mini van of course it wonders all over the place.

    The rates were the same. So I went van. Right now rates are better. So I get it in begining of July and mid November have to go back to van? When rates die?

    I just switched a bunch of my searches from van to step, step is the same or less.

    Because it was a much more affordable vehicle to drive when the wife was having to make 80 mile round trips to the hospital 2 times a week and I was laid off, soo it happened. Now IF I could just get her too work on it then it would go away in short order. (The hospital trips
    were for breast cancer treatment so I was abit easier to convince)

    I asked tire dude if I could put 44's on it, he said I was in the wrong shop for that.

    Maybe in Arizona. It has a different pattern than dry box. I told the guy flat or step. He is like flat is easier to get but I want you to get a step. Step can pay more, but flat is easier to get reloads for. Step sets you up for the RGN track, which I have no interest in doing
