Default Been doing a little work on the Hoe

Added a little lift. It has a total of about 5 inches now. Running 33's. It's about time for some new tires going to try out the cooper at3s next I think.





Pics really don't do it justice I gotta hop to get up in it now. These truck ahold have come this way from the factory.

3" body lift Bradford. Im not a fan of BLs but this suited my needs. I just wanted to clear the tires with room for flex offroad when hunting. I wanted to just go ahead with a 6" suspension but $$ being as tight as it is this will be fine. I dont hard core offroad anymore just needed a little more clearance for hunting. i also have 3" blocks on the rear and the torsion bars are cranked slightly. Needed the rear blocks for the saggy springs and big tool box I have in the rear.

Shoot I didn't pay for those STTs (and wouldn't) they came on the wheels when I bought them. Going to go with some cooper AT3s more than likely. I ain't paying what they want for those fancy tires...they're rediculous enough as it is.

Im so pumped, been wanting one of these newer center consoles for a looooong time. I found a guy parting out a 2003 Sierra on craigslist and gave him $30 for it. I already had a spare cubby to remove the tape deck. I have a couple 12volt USB outlets and regular sockets coming off of Fleabay to add to it as well. I spent some time on the road this weekend and BOY is it nice to have REAL cup holders. Its it temporarily right now till I finish up wiring and trim work.

Finally got some new tires on, went with the Cooper AT3's. Ive been very pleased with them so far, great ride, quiet and do well offroad. 285/75/16 LT load range E tires so hopefully they will last on this heavy bastage.
