You can try to disguise your pink pantie mobile  but we all know!
Great looking RIG! And damn that is quite a PM list you did over the summer of 08' 
So how was the difference moving up from the 285 coopers to the 315's? I love my Coopers and they are wearing GR8 and will probably go with them again myself but hopefully after a lift so I can go bigger.

I added a few pm items that I had forgotten about to the list. Lets just say that my wife was very patient with me that summer. 
I really like the 351's so far. The gas mileage has improved on the freeway as long as I'm not on a grade. The S/C provides plenty of power to make up for the lack of gears, but I hate having to punch it to get it to move up big hills etc. I might re-gear down the road as funds permit and add an ARB in the the front and either an Aussie or ARB in the rear. So overall, I'm satisfied with the 315's.
Who knows, down the road when I retire the 80 from DD duties and I don't have to worry about parking garages, I might move up to 37's. Nay has been a pretty good at selling me on the idea with his 37" tire posts.

Thanks Lane. Actually my rig doesn't look much different than the avatar from that angle/lighting and stock front bumper. I'd like to get a tube bumper from Mike at Bump it Offroad or an ARB from Kurt in the future.

I'd do tube. Everyone and their dog has an ARB.

Cool story, very clean truck and I love the two tone paint...something about that combination have always been one of my favorites. The rear bumper too - I'm jealous!
