Well, the 32's are going.I tryed two on the truck for a day [on the back] and it cut my mpg in half! :shok: So I'm going to see about either a set of 30s or 31"s tomorrow. Also took the rollbar out of the back since it was so rusty. I've been trying to get the pictures off my camera but my computer says it needs to format it. I try to format it and windows say's i cant :annoyed: I'll firgure out something tomorrow....

I wouldn't think 32's would change it that much. I went from 29's to 32.5's and lost like 5 mpgs tho till I regeared..so I guess so. find a nice set of TRUE 30's that actually measure 30" when mounted up. They'll look fine.

Thanks! I also just found out I can crank my T-bars without voiding my warranty, and I may have found a nice new set of 31"s to replace the 30"s... [two are quite worn...] Any ideas on what I can do next? I was thinking the black style headlights and tinting my taillights, aswell as painting the grille and raised hood part in gloss black plasti dip [is that stuff any good?...]

black headlights look awesome. From what I've seen plastidip is pretty sweet, i might do my rims with it just for fun.

The 2wds are easy to lift , shackles are pretty cheap , go to the JY and get some 2" blocks for the rear..

Very ticked off. Someone at school hit my truck with the door of their car and left a nice dent and took some paint... Then someone kicked my door and left a shoe print! How would I go about fixing the dent and paint chip?? Would duplicolor color match spray paint work?

eww...Its hard to say without seeing the dent. Even with a Colormatched duplicolor, you'd still see a difference in paint without sanding down. It'll never blend right. touchup could hide scrathes but I'd guess your dealing with a bigger issue. If your looking for a temporary fix, I guess you'd have to get some paint on there ASAP before rust starts. And If I had to use a rattlecan, I would def stick with Duplicolor.

I may be buying a set of 31" Kelly Safari TSL's soon. But how many turns would i have to turn my T-bar bolts to make it look right? I dont want it to look low with stuffed fenders...

I have a bit of a insane question... If i took my truck to ford next summer, or the summer after that, [a.k.a by the time i get some money] Would they be able to make it a 4x4 for me?... I dont care about cost. I'm just kind of regretting now not getting a 4x4, and not thinking about our shitty winters... And I'm not allowed trading it in on a 4x4 so... yea, would they be able to do it?

I highly doubt that they'd do it... you'd be better off taking it to a customization shop (like Spyder Offroad! in Horn Lake, MS :icon_rofl:) and letting them take care of it.

Well, would it be better to just find a wrecked 4x4 And swap it over?
