    Got some new tires for ole blue

    I've been wanting to get some new tires for this truck ever since I got it. Finally pulled the trigger on some 35x16x16.5 Boggers. They'll probably never see much mud, but they look cool

    They're actually not as loud as I thought they'd be. The truck was already pretty loud on the highway for various other reasons that they didn't make it any louder.

    I wanted to make sure I got at least one pic in direct sunlight because it does make a big difference. I took a couple pics when I got home from getting them mounted and I was a little disappointed. There wasn't any sun, the truck was dirty and the wheels hadn't been polished in a while. Now that I got it all cleaned up I'm feeling a little better about spending the cash on the tires.

    Haha, well none with these tires yet, but here are some with the BFG's...





    I think it squatted less than an inch with an 8' bed full of wood... yeah the rear springs are a little stiff, lol

    The woods beater Ranger sees most of the wood hauling duties now though. Hard to justify using the blue truck when I can bounce a piece of wood off the side of the Ranger and not care too much.



    I go camping a couple times a year with some buddies down near Elkins, WV. I'm always tempted to load up big blue with some wood and drive it down there, but I'm a little leery of driving a 42 year old truck 6 hours round trip. I think I'm gonna man up and finally do it when we go next spring though.

    If the truck has been pretty reliable since you brought it home, I think it will be just fine on that trip.

    I flew into St. Louis and drove my white one home 600 miles.

    I like Rangers too Dan. This is my third one. Had a nice two tone brown 2wd 87 with the 2.3 and a 5 spd as my first vehicle, lol. I like mine in the 4wd variety though. Someday I will build a 4wd with a strong V8 and a manual... someday. Gonna beat the hell out of this one till it dies though. I put a limited slip in the rear and had to replace the transfer case with one I got off CL for $45, but after that it goes anywhere I point it. Been thinking about a cheap drop in locker for the front just for good measure

    It's been fairly reliable. I had to make a new alternator bracket for it, but other than that it hasn't caused me any trouble. I drove it a little over 200 miles home from Virginia when I bought it. I'm 95% sure it would be ok, but that last 5% worries me, haha
