Pile that i was able to pull out of the interior yesterday:




Now its just chilling in the shop:




And got my tube bender put together on the stand. I'll have to pull it off and add a brace to the stand with some paint:










And a panoramic of the shop, I cleaned all day and its still a mess:

Well I finally went and did it.... I bought some tires.

They're 38x12.5.15 TSL SX on Allied Beadlocks 15x10 with 3.75" BS.. They've got a good bit of tread life left especially in the middle where he grooved em some. For the price, they were the best deal I've found in a while, especially considering to come with a set of name brand beadlocks.

Here's one from the front since I forgot to take it earlier just to show how wide they are. Ignore the driveshaft:
