needs a little work but this was what i was looking for, a beater and have something i could toss stuff in and go

looks clean! good luck with it, i need to sell my bike and get a beater:nod:

thanks! it'll def be useful, i wont be stuck home like i was last winter lol

and the insurance for the camaro is now half of what it was since we dropped it down to part time so my parents are happy about that

Nice truck! Get on that rust spot though.

ur guna be stuck in winter with those tires!!!! lol good luck

lol that will probably be WORSE in the snow than the ss unless you make some "adjustments"

yeah i def will, i plan on getting that taken care of as well as coating the fram with rust bullet before november

haha yeah i'm going to get some new ones

what adjustments do you speak of?

Tires. Something heavy in the back. Etc.

yea what they said, tires and weight in the back. learn how to start in second gear too less chance of spinning the tires. id love to have a truck like that nice find.

yeah i was definetly gonna load it up with some weight, what kind of tires do you guys suggest? i don't want all out snow tires because it will obviously be driven when there is now snow. a good all season tire?

and thanks i was creeping on craigslist for the past few months like a psycho ex on facebook. there are a lot of them for sale but my requirement for an extended cab ruled many out, there were many nice ones though.

Get a nice all terrain tire like the BFG All Terrains or the General Grabber AT2s. Both perform great in the snow (considering they aren't snow tires).

snow tires & a 1/4 yard of gravel, go! lol

hmm how would the general grabbers be as a tire for driving other than winter?

GY Wrangler Silent Armor's....Go!

general tires are terrible at everything.

Nice. I need a truck just in a 4x4!

Yea, these are also a nice tire.

- Justin

General grabbers won't do all that great in the snow and due to the semi soft compound wont last long... if your looking for something that looks more aggressive then the bfg AT. Try MT ATZ or Pro comp extreme AT

Also you might consider something like the Cooper A/T3s or the Mastercraft A/T2s. The A/T3s are new but look promising, and I know a few people (including my brother) with the A/T2s and all have no complaints. My brother has them on his '05 Ram 3500 and the wear has been great, no issues with them in any weather (except mud....dirt roads and sand have been fine though).

I had a mini-class on Friday about how horrible General tires are, and we dabbled in Conti too.

Cooper AT3's look good. We are starting to stock more, look like a good tire. Cannot go wrong with BFG A/T's. 40 years, never changed, still the bench mark.

I have Toyo AT's on my 2500HD. They did well in the snow and dirt roads.
