Default Got The New Toys Comin

None of it was planned, but it all seems to be happening all the sudden. I have the 19.5 inch Rickson rims and tires on the way, a dual stearing stabilizer ready to mount with custom bracket's I had to make, a new adjustable Elbow for the turbo and new high pressure inner-cooler boots on the way. Merry Christmas to me.

They're comin with Hancook 245/70/19.5's already mounted. Muddy found em for me as a used set. $800 for the set of alluminum rims and tires with 80% tread still on em. Guy put em on his Duramax and dind't like the way they slowed his truck down, no comment.

Kids comin home from school for Christmas, he don't know it yet but I got his vacation planned for him already. The front and rear diffs both need to be checked out, has never been done since the truck was new and installin these toys should keep him busy for a while. I'll be the guy handin him tools stayin clean.

Man, I like the way you think I have a boy coming home from college for the Holidays. Getting a list of things to do. First I'll have him start with the list my wife has had for me for the past year. LOL Make sure you post some pics of those new wheels. I would love to have some on my dually but just can't justify the cost.

Just picked these things up from the truck terminal a few minutes ago. They're all wrapped in shrink wrap and it's dark out though so I haven't even been able to really look at em yet. They drew alot of attention and questions at the terminal though. Had 4 different guys come up askin questions about these things. Now I need to figure out what kinda lug nuts they take so I can get em mounted.
