Finally finished my chores here on The Ranch in Willoughby. A shower was required before I did anything else.

Update on the wheels and tires. The shop did a great job on the M&B and they told me that the wheels and tires where a great match and balanced out terrific, .001-.005 range they said, whatever that is... anyway, seeing them get mounted on those rims was a rush for me as the tires simply exceeded expectations in the way they look on the rims. Mini Update; FedEx did in fact finally bring the magic nuts and they were the correct match. (Thanks 'Pirate Mike')

Hot as hell putting them on in the garage but it was worth it. I took it for a little ride and re-torqued them before calling it for the day. The truck rides like a truck now and that's not a bad thing because it seems more stable actually. I like it.

All I have is a couple garage pics at the moment... you seen one you seen them all.

I'm never going back to stock now.

Thanks. I'll be running some greens to start at B2SR'15 to get used to how they track before I jump into blues. I'll need to find my footprint again. ;) Maybe I'll get into a ENH run prior.

I'm more looking forward to hanging with the club at the B2SR though -it's been far too long since I've gotten out.

Thanks gents. I went for a little drive today and realized that some plastic had to go. Hope I took enough. Ernie, thanks for showing me a couple years ago where the trimming would be needed because when I heard the noise I knew right where to look. The additional inch of back spacing is in play too so I needed to take much more. I may need to find a metal shop... Or a BFH. Who knows what a stuff will do.

Thanks T.

Bought a 3# one today. Have not done the deed yet. My plastic purge works for OTR for now, which is to say that i can back out of a parking space without rubbing.
I'll get at it in due time. When I do, it will pay the price for being a PITA.
