    When singling out 9.00 x 20s?

    I'm pretty sure he isn't going to have a heavy load in the bed, I understand where you are coming from but look at it realistically.

    got a flat

    I had tried to air the tire up, but the air was escaping almost as fast as it was going in, The truck never came with any lug wrenches, and I figured I wouldnt be doing any good without a torque multiplier, the bottle jack that came with the truck needs fluid as well, I already knew that though.

    had to call out a service truck to get it changed, and when they tried to fire up their air compressor, the rip cord... well, ripped. He had to call his boss out with another cord, it was not a good time.

    limited slip on M35A2?

    what about a spool with a lockout hub on the axle, have 1 drive tire for normal driving, then flip the switch and have all the traction on one axle that you need, still have the other rear axle helping you keep tracking straight.

    HD Brush guard?

    I have planned on building one when I return from deployment using no less than 1/2 inch steel plates, and 3/8 wall tubing, then figured that in the process the existing bumper may need to be reinforced and boxed in for added strength. But then again, I am an overkill kinda guy.
