Amazing! Truck looks night and day better, crazy how much of a difference wheels/tires make. Also, link to that simms tee? Didn't know they made one with a 40 on it...so awesome.

Posted these in another thread, but hey, these sure are nice. Scored these with some other parts on craigslist.

I picked it up at Rivers Edge West in Bozeman a couple of weeks ago. It is listed on the Simms website in the new clothing section.

All that activity going on today and I wiped the carrier bearing on my Dodge. Which is a total bummer because I was going to drive it this weekend to go chuck some dries on one of the most wild rivers in Montana. I am not driving my Tahoe down 50 plus miles of super gnarly forest service roads, and it's too far of a trip for the 40 right now, plus it's the whole family going for a volleyball tournament.

@Bludozer you still making a trip west?

@Bludozer you still making a trip west?

I am! Unfortunately it did get postponed a bit. Still beyond excited...wish I was heading that way on a trip right now....and one day after that, permanently.

What size tires are you running and what paint color did you use on your rims? I want to take mine off and repaint them. Plus my new spare rim is black so I want them all the pewterish color.

I shot those rims with a dark machinery gray from the rattle bomb cans. Tires are 33x10.5 Maxxis Razrs.

That’s what I run, 33x10.5’s but BFG’s. Seems to fit the vehicle best for originality yet some increased capability.

It's nice to run 65 without all the vibration that I had from the last set of tires, I had never had the last set balanced since I have had my rig. Top that off with the instant power steering like luxury of turning 10.5" tires compared to worn out 12.5" tires, so far I'm pretty impressed with the Maxxis.

They are aired up to 32 psi currently.

Hell yeah

What PSI are you running your razrs? Did you chalk test?

They're at 32 psi currently, I haven't done a chalk test yet. I may try to today.

What an awesome thread. Great work, @rkymtnflyfisher.

Using a 40 for what it’s made for.
