Ya I found a set of bfg a/t's for 150. They where 33/11.50/15's. I didn't have the money to get them. I've been looking all over cl and can't find tires.

Most of the ppl around here run tires till their bald or close too it .

So Wednesday on my way to work my driver side rear wheel bearing decided to bite the dust, going 70mph down the interstate. Had to leave it in a not so good part of town. But on to some pics.





The bearing did try to spin on the shaft and kinda gauded up where the bearing rides, but my dad took care of that with a file. Heres some pics of the bearing though.

Finally got around to hooking up my autometer oil pressure gauge. Cold idles around 75 warm idle at 25, under accel 75, cruising at 55.

Had to change my starter yesterday. It had been going out for about a week-2 weeks getting worse about ticking and spinning over really weakly. Here's some pics I think the starter I pulled was the original. Here's a pic of the new starter and the toyota Denso tag on the old one.˟





Tag on old starter.˟

So finding up here soon I'm going to be making some tube bumpers seeing as I got tubing for Christmas from my dad. Also got some seat covers and a steering wheel cover from my fiancee (spelt right?). Which look a lot better than my torn up bench seat.

Here's a crappy pic of the truck with the new tires.


Also today I'm fixing my water pump leak, doing valve lash, changing tensioner pulley and ps pump belt. Also wanna try and fix my alignment and crank the t bars. I don't think there cranked like I thought.

You will be very happy with those tires. I love mine.

lil_red_yota

I love them so far!! I've been driving back and forth to work and got to test them in a lil bit of mud today getting into the shop here at my moms to do the other work I listed. I had lil bit of speed built up in 2nd gear with 4lo engaged and it went through it effortlessly!! Unlike my old tires that I had to be hauling ass and I still had to work it thought the same stretch in the yard.
