What do you think of the tires? I have the same ones and I get all kinds of questions on them, and I really don't have that many miles on them to share with others. What BS & width on the rims are you running?
Awesome writeup 
I also got my screen name from my F-body
When I first started using the interweb, I bought a brand new 98 T/A
Hit the local drag strip the next day and beat a pair of older Viper R/T 10's and a modded Cobra
When I pulled around to the burnout box on my last run, the announcer said "Here comes the SNAKE EATER" and I've been stuck with the username eversince
Here's an old sales video I made:

They aren't the greatest as they have no sidewall lugs on the tires. They also don't do that bad either and aren't that loud on the highway, driven 7 hours to the outer banks 4 times with them now. Quieter than the old RTII's.
I can't remember the back spacing off the top of my head but it isn't much.
Width is IMHO too wide and wish I could get them cut down. they are 9 or 10's if I remember.
I don't air down too much with them for that reason.
For the price for me they are just right though. Can't wait till the military decides to sell off all the MTR's they have sitting around.

Cool clip
I do miss my f-body's and someday will have to break down and get an 05+ GTO to make up for it.
I remember when you had the 98 for sale and I was contemplating it.

Good story Al.
Yeah, I'm kind of addicted to Mud! Yours is coming along nicely.
How do you like the 4.88's?

Old bumper, stuck a little too far out. I always liked the way it looked but I got it hung up a few times last year. I really liked the unique look of the bumper and never thought I would sell it but two things happened at once. One a guy that had seen my truck in four wheeler last year contacted me about how much he loved the way it looked. I figured that would be a good home for it to go to. And two I was offered a killer deal (trade on some old tires) for a modified high clearance ARB from a buddy of mine.
After I removed the old one I decided to paint the grill and the light frames. So off they came.
Painted grill
Bumper installed, much more clearance and even more when I do a hawse fairlead. I might chop the ARB some more.
Finally installed my winch

If you are ever in the 80's forum chances you've seen the new LED reverse lights everyone is buying. Didn't think much of it till I ran into a tree stump testing out my cruiser the other day because the stock ones weren't throwing out enough light.
First is the new one and stock one for comparison, next is both of them together, and finally the amount of light it threw on my house from 50 feet away (the last pic had the flash turned off, This is how much light they throw out)

Amazing. Who do you order from, part # and is it same size for LC & LX?
Have you used winch yet and if so how do you like it?

So back at the lowes car show I threw my business card into a drawing for a company that sells after market accessories.
Last week I got an email saying I had won and was about to just pick something for my sisters car until I saw that they actually had something for the cruiser. I figured what the hell as they were free and ordered these smoked LED taillights
They throw off a little more light than the stock ones and hardly use any power. They don't line up as well as the OEM ones but well enough and if I decide I don't like them i'll just sell em.
They do make an old rig look new though

in the end for your setup diesel is the way to go- my 60 with lt-1 is absolutely the the best utilitarian/hwy setup ever- sound of a 3" exhaust is like a nasty 'Vette and you just smile the whole time smoking porsches.
I like the "smoke" look they have, I have the regular ones from Ebay but if you ever decide you want to get rid of them let me know I would be interested in them. What was the company name you won them from? I wonder if I could order a set?
Thanks!
