I guess that's why mud bog trucks use small tires?

Ask any farmer/rancher why they use smaller tires on their work trucks. Mud bog trucks push tons of horse power. This isn't a debate, its fact. 5% of truck owners leave the pavement weekly. I see no need for huge tires besides looks.

Speaking of tires......that problematic tire is flat. Again. Not sure why, as it's been holding air fine all along since being repaired, but enough is enough. It's awful early for it, but I'll get an appointment to have her winter tires put on. 32" coopers, I'm curious to see how they look.

Haven't posted in a while. I got bored this past weekend and plastidipped the little plastic piece on the antenna to match the truck. Also finally had a nice day here so I finished putting in my LEDS now all of the outside lights are led and got the fog light halos wired up. Next I'm going to get the right bolts to fix the gap in my radio. I'll post pictures tomorrow

$200 for the alternator and $85 for labor. Taxes were the rest. Unexpected auto repair sucks but I need my truck. Can't steal the wife's minivan lol.
