That's kind of what I assumed. It would probably make a really good trail rig with the short wheel base and SFA, and you get the room for gear inside with the extra cab space.

I was driving home from work and saw this pewter and primer S-10 coming to the intersection from the left. I first noticed how close the front of the bed was to the rear tires and thought it was a crew cab. But when I looked further up I noticed it had an extended cab front half. I had to do a doubl...

I ordered the Dyna Beads. The tires are 305/70R17 Wrangler MT/R's (basically a 34x12.5R17), and I ordered 8oz of beads for each tire, which was the recommendation on www.innovativebalancing.com for my tire size. They're scheduled to arrive tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get them in next weekend and let...

Well...I finally pulled the trigger on getting some of these for my truck after debating for several weeks. I ordered them today, so once they arrive and I install them in the tire, I'll get you guys an update.

Very nice. If you need the number of that guy I've used for parking, let me know.

ORP is nice...I've been to the drag strip for the US Nationals before. I'd buy in advance if you can.

Poor quality pads, "lot rot" (rusted rotors and pads from sitting on a dealership lot), etc. I'd take the wheels off and look at things myself just to be sure they're not trying to pull one over on you.

AZS10Crew

I haven't heard anything specific, but those off-road company type tires (Mickey Thompson, etc.) are more for purpose built trail rigs, so long-term durability and tread-wear is often poor. IMHO.

Consider a new trans (or rebuilt complete unit) as opposed to rebuilding your current trans as well.

Can you use stock ZR-5 rims to fit the 30x9.5s? And do you need 3in wheel spacers in the rear to fit them as well?

I got one similar to that from Napa for $80 a couple years ago to put on my wife's 2003 (maybe) Malibu. It was kind of a pain in the butt.

Also consider the weight difference between the stock wheel and tire setup and 31" mud terrain tires on aftermarket rims. On just the tires alone there's a 13lb difference between stock and your current tires...52lbs extra all around can make a difference too.

Are you absolutely sure it's coming from the dash? I heard lots of 'sloshing' this summer (had a h3ll of a monsoon season this year) that sounded like it was coming from the front of the truck.

You might take a quick look at the gasket on your fuel cap. I had an intermittent SES issue on mine a few years ago. It would come on, then off again after a couple ignition cycles.

No offense to any mechanics on here, but I'd doubt that some guy turning wrenches all day would be an expert on state-wide vehicle modification laws. If you're subject to vehicle inspections, contact your local DOT office and ask to speak to someone regarding vehicle inspections and modifications.

Brule's right...careful of the cheap glass.

Most windshields are usually in the $200-$300 range. You might check with your insurance to see if they offer $0 deductible glass coverage. When I lived in Phoenix, that was standard coverage because of all the gravel medians around the city.

I've seen several trucks with bedliner on the flares. If you use a foam roller rather than the textured one with the kits it would maybe look a little smoother too.

AZS10Crew

It may be close...if anything smaller behind the crew cab seat. Biggest thing is that the seat in the back of the crew cab cannot be slid forward at all to allow installation. I do know that 6.5" Bazooka tube I had in there barely fit, so compare that to the box for your 15.

I would do a BL with that setup and you should be OK...maybe some minor rubbing, nothing a BFH wouldn't help out though.

You might consider Wrangler MTR's also...I had them on my S-10 and loved them.

AZS10Crew

Diesel prices around my area are around $3.70USD per gallon, which I believe works out to around $1USD per liter...if I did my math right.

AZS10Crew

Stock rims and no BL = 30x9.5's Depending on the tire they may rub slightly, but nothing cranking the torsion bars a little won't cure.

Anything bigger (or aftermarket rims with less backspacing) would require a body lift.

AZS10Crew

Good point...I'd imagine that box has a relay or two in it that's acting up. See if there's a part number stamped on the outside and search for it to see what it is.

AZS10Crew

Just measure the tread depth. If you're within a 2 or 3/32nds of a new tire all around, you should be fine.

Maybe a relay of some sort related to the heated seats. Do they work again after wiggling the harness? Maybe just a bad harness connection too.

Do you have any false activation of the ABS system also (ABS engaging on dry pavement when braking normally)? Only other thing...
