That bronze color wheel looks really good.   
Did you ever reattach your spear tire after the dogs chewed it off?

Funny that you mention that (Reattaching the spare tire) On the list for today or tomorrow.

But:
1. Have a Bengals game to watch today
2. After the game have to drop off the Jeep for the 5.13 gears

But yea, gonna fix that for sure!

Confession: Now that I changed to the 35" tires, I really don't see much of a difference, and the truck looks silly with those roller skates on there.
Just have to keep reminding myself how much the big tires rubbed off-road

Wait, I know how to fix that!

Open up the wheel wells and bolt on 40's!

Yea, that sounds like a good idea (NOT)

I finally got off my buttox and repaired and remounted the spare tire.

Coming out of this back surgery and solidly on the mend, it is sooo good to get back to working and projects.

Gentlemen,

I am closing this chapter and opening a new one

The Duramax truck has served me well, but my needs have exceeded its capabilities. Therefore, I have placed the truck for sale in Marketplace

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/949982372609838

I have made another truck purchase which I will soon introduce here on the build thread pages.

The Duramax truck has been great and it currently is in great condition with, really nothing major wrong with it. I feel it will work hard for many more years, but just not for me. Honestly, I know it is just a metal thing, but I will miss seeing it in my driveway. I hope it finds a really good home.

I am having some interest. The selling season is still 2-3 weeks away. When it warms up, I will tack on another $1,000
