Also I am looking for a 96-98, 12V, 2500, 4x4, Auto(preferred), Q-cab in good shape, under 200K mi, under $11,000. Know where one is? I am out of Waco, TX.
Like Rob said, come on over and join us, truck or not.

Some of the trucks in the classifieds here are a little pricy, but in most cases you can get a lot of info. Especially if it's listed by a long time member. You might also check craigslist.com.

Also, I have a Putnam XDR Class V hitch on the way. Maybe Sunday I can get it installed while up there.

This should provide a little extra capacity for the heavy tongue weight.

I'll give a tentative "I'll be there" for now. If my boy's ball team keeps winning, I will be at the games. Semi finals are this week, finals next if they make it through the semis.
I'll bring my Cheby if I can make it out there and maybe run both depending on time.

Toyo MT's are $245 each
Toyo AT's are $189... what I have now and are only going to make 36-37,000 miles

Bought Nitto Terra Grapplers @ $175.00 each! Made by Toyo. Have heard some great mileage reports on these...some not so good. Have to wait & see.

At least you didn't have to pay $450 a piece.....good luck with those tires. I had them on my truck and I hated them. As soon as the roads got wet I couldn't keep the truck from getting sideways to save my life...2nd gear take offs were impossible, 3rd would just swing the back end out, and heaven forbid I was on the interstate and wanted to punch it to get around somebody...

For all of you insect challanged folks, I'll buy a bottle of yard spray and put it down ahead of time. I'll just add it to the cost of the food.

Speaking of food.......any ideas for Friday night?

I had good luck with my nitto's. Got 40k out of them and I wasn't that nice to them. The only time they were bad in the rain was when they got bald.

Tyler, you better get busy posting. I noticed in another thread that WannaDiesel is gaining on you quickly! I think he is up to 12,200 some odd posts. He is gonna take your "Top Poster" crown away from ya in a couple of weeks.

Whoopty doo. I ain't had the energy nor the time to post thanks to work. Worked 13 hours monday, 10 yesterday, and probably 12 today, 10-12 tomorrow, and who knows how many friday. Not to mention I think it's my turn to work on saturday which ticks me off. Oh well. Billet shafts shouldn't be to far away.

"Insect challanged"....cute! How about Chigger Chow.
Those Fajitas were excellent last time...my vote says let's do em again! (Who cleaned the pans?... not that they needed much cleaning after Evan & Mike got through )
