Slow week....

Not a whole hell of a lot going on this week. Been working out like crazy - surfing (well, paddling - it was flat) on Monday, weight Tuesday thru Thursday, and Yoga on Friday. It's nice being busy. Work's been a chore with major ECO's being pushed through and the Manufacturing/Planning be big ole babies wanting Engineering to do more of their work. But, I'm sure you all don't give a rat's ass about that. Hmmmm, what else can I write about.

Well, there's the ever illustrious truck and what I'm going to do with it. I've found my wheel and tire setup :)

This is the BF Goodrich Radial All-Terrain T/A KO Tire. I'm going to get it in the 31" x 10.5" x 15" size. I can't wait. It's your basic A/T tire with a nice beefy size and enough "ggggrrrrrrr" in it to look good! The upside to it is that I can get it real cheap for the type/brand of tire it is. The down side is that it's not that cheap in general.

The wheels I'll be getting to match my nice BF Goodrichs is the Mickey Thompson Classic II's. They'll be 15" rims with an 8" depth, 3 5/16" back-spacing and room for 5 bolts on a 4.5" bolt circle (stock for my Explorer). I was going to go with the American Racing AR-23's, but couldn't justify the extra money and they also would be a helluva lot harder to clean than the M/T's. Everything I've read on these rims is great! I can't wait to get this set-up installed! Oh, by the way, did I mention that this whole set-up will get shipped to my house - mounted and balanced - for the low cost of just $890? Unreal, right? I can't wait!!!
