sooooo note to self make sure you have the right size of exhaust flapper before.

1. using steel wool on chrome stainless flapper so paint will stick
2. finding where your buddy put the saw
3. cutting your exhaust

My buddy cut the exhaust and we both sat there and realized we didnt check the size. and well its a 4in flapper not a 3 1/2. so 15$ later i have a flapper on the way...

Haha, need to get those pizza cutter tires updated on your trailer Scott;-) Couldn't help but notice the irony of your 07JUN post.
"...drag the trailer out from behind the WMO hahah" and your 3rd pic is you pulled up to a fuel station island:cool:
Thanks for the stack dimensions. I've been wanting to get out to measure mine for sometime now.

yea its exhaust is 3 1/2. haha the irony...was running out of time so i didnt pump from tote hehe. i think im keeping the 900x20 on the trailer so it doesnt get any taller. maybe down the line i'll switch to 395's. i'll have to talk to brad. i would have to get 3 more? or you think just having 1 spare in the truck would be fine?

Your truck looks real sharp with those 395's. I'm thinking 1 spare should be OK. However, if you're thinking about bugging out in her. I may want to have at least two spares.Have you tried putting a 395 in it's current spare tire location? I've seen a couple pics of guys just getting by putting a tire there. May be bit tight though.
Did you get your flappers from Jegs on ebay?

Yea i love my 395s' was curising 63-65mph saturday. burnt through some fuel ahahhaha fuel throttle up hills hehehe. yea i thought about the spare going in the spare tire location but im already going to put it mounted in the bed standing up right in the right of the front of the bed. and mounting one of those ship boxes from brad on the other side. what im going to do is making is so only 4 of the 5 stave spots on the troop seats fold down.

yea i ordered my 3 1/2 from jegs but got the other one from my gfs father.
