Nice lookin truck. How do you like the Ground Hawgs? I thought about buying some a long time ago but didn't. Do they perform well?

After it was painted I could not stand all the different colors... Is is really a half @ss job I sanded and Bondoed the rust bubbles and painted it in about 2 hours in my drive way.... Didn't even wash it or pull off the pin strip!!! I'll do it right one of these days. For the time being I just wanted it all one color. As for the Ground Hawgs I guess they are Okay.. They rock in the Mud but they a Bias Ply so they beat you up pretty good on the road and they are heavy. I have a intake, Weber Carb, and Header on the truck but even with that and the 5.29's they don't turn over as fast as I would like them, I guess I also need to clarify that I'm a mudder... Out here we don't get much for rock, just deep nasty evil mud, although I have went to the west part of the state a few times and went trail ridding, nothing crazy I was in my '98 Z-71 but it was fun, I have yet to get this truck out there.
