heres a pic parked at work, I've put about 2000 miles on it and so far, so good. Had to fix a heater hose leak yesterday, gonna have to change those before winter. Also got some new tires put on and man does it ride better, between the old LT285/75/16 buckshots sitting while I was rebuilding the engine and being low on tread, man these new tires made a world of difference. I went down a size, back to factory, P265/75/16 firestone destination A/T, since most of my driving will be on road and I drive 75-80 miles a day roundtrip to work I went with an A/T versus M/T $640 mounted/balanced, TN tax, out the door. It was the best deal going and these tires usually see 40K or more miles, I use to work for firestone. still averaging 16-17mpg, hopefully with the new, lighter tires and the exhaust upgrade I plan on doing in a few weeks, I hope to see 17-17.5mpg.
