Loaded the tow pig down. 13 tires, and a couple hundred pounds of metal scrap. Still isn't even down to the overload.






Cleaned up the shitty chrome.

After dealing with my tow pigs fiasco...



I snapped a pic of the steering box.



And managed to semi accomplish some of the OBA crap. Turns out there really is no room under the hood for an air compressor so picked up a truck box to keep it clean and dry.





Would have finished it up but the Viair only has 6 ports on the tank and I need 7 if I want an air hose and a hardline for the front locker. Not to mention the box is narrow and I need a couple of elbows to finish it off.

Mounted my good tires



Hopefully the truck will be on its own weight Friday. The rear should be tomorrow after the gears and perches are on. In the photos the rear is sitting 4-5" low IIRC.

Cleaned up the pair of balding TSL's





The one on the left still has a little bit to go. They both still have 1/4-3/8" left of tread so hopefully they last me a season.
