they were actually awesome tires. they didn't wear out very fast. they are discontinued however, that's why 2 were bald. here's the story. a buddy of mine had the 2 used bridgestones and gave them to me. they had about a 1/4 tread left. i had them in my backyard for about a year when i got a job at firestone. i had the idea of buying 2 new ones with my discount, and running them with the 2 used ones until i could buy 2 more. well it turned out that there were no more. i got the last 2 in utah. i was gonna get 2 different 33's to go with the bstones but then my i decided to do upgrades instead. now i have 35's.

Well that just bites cuz i wanted to get those.lol maybe ill get lucky and stumble on some on craigslist or somethin.

beleive it or not, I actually did some work on my truck today!
I decided to get my new coils and rad. arms put on. i didn't finish today but i should tomorrow.

i didn't have a deep 1 1/8" socket so i had to double wrench these puppies!

F-YOU STOCK RADIUS ARMS!!

here are the new ones.

new and old coils. (i may be the only one on the planet running brown coil springs)

damn, i didn't thing swapping rad. arms would be this much work! BREAK TIME!

i get to use this jazzy crane when i work on my rig. jealous much?

with no springs on her i thought it would be funny to see what it'd look like with a mean rake.

i got the passenger side done, but i had somewhere to be so i'll get the driver side tomorrow. (also get my manual hubs on and weld my rear shock mounts on. stay tuned!

The headlights fit on many vehicles. i bought them new. i got the bezzels and hardware from the junkyard off a 71ish ford truck. the swap is real easy. all you have to do is trim your grill and they bolt right in.

Sweet looking build man. What kind of springs are those? I'm definitely looking to get rid of my superlift 6" springs, as they are ridiculously stiff!

they're uh.... brown ones? i'm not quite sure what brand they are. i bought them along with the radiums arms and shocks from mojavesmostwanted on here a few months ago and i can't remember what brand he said they were. sorry.

Well I didn't get as much done as i wanted sunday. Here's some progress pics.

Here's pics of the new susp.

I finally got the front output yoke from the donor explorer on the rear of my t-case.

I had Cammeddrz giving me a hand. Here he is flaring a new brake line.

Pile 'O' junk.

Then i was a bone-head. i didn't have time to put the hubs on properly so i just slid the housings on to keep the dirt out. Bad idea. me and Caqm go to push it back outside with the fork lift and the hubs exploded!
