Building My 06 at a Snails Pace

Looks good, really like the new tires :drool:

I'll be interested to see your feedback on them in a few months, and ultimately how long they wear compared to BFG/AT's.

BFG needs to redesign the AT IMO.

Nice job on the lights, a good addition.

Thanks Dave, by the way, you sure have done a tremendous amount of really quality work on your truck, awesome.

I love the tires so far, but not a lot of mileage on them. Had about three inches of snow yesterday, icy this morning. Traction is very good. BFG really needs to upgrade the AT. It's a great tire, but I think it is showing it's age in it's design. With the small amount of winter driving so far, I will never go back to them. I haven't put much weight in the back of the bed yet, and I don't slide around at all. With similar conditions and the AT's, with 200 lbs. in the back, I was still sliding around. These tires really bite good. I am wondering if I added additional siping to the AT's if that would have made a difference, I don't know. I know a couple of people that have had their AT's siped aggressively, and like them in the snow.

Been pretty slow about adding stuff, but got a couple of items done.

I didn't like the way the curve of the fenders matched up with the ARB, so I had the bumper modified. Also, really wanted fogs in the bumper, so had cut outs put in and installed the ARB fog light kit.

Big thanks to Kirk (Applejack) for working during his day off and getting the bumper powder coated.
