Thanks! I live near Camp Dodge in Johnston, though I'm not in the service.

I think I'd have a really hard time switching the paint scheme when it comes time to repaint. I love that combo.

That black and gray on my 97 F-250 got so many positive comments compared to my all raven black 96 F-150.

The two busy bees. Although one goes to work with me every day, so it rarely gets to see a trailer on a weekday, but weekends come and it's on lol.

Hahaha I'd never own a Prius.... Anyway I have 15x8 dick cepek wheels with 35x12.50x15 cooper STT's.... I had to cut a small notch off the inner bend of the bumper on both sides bc it wanted to rub at a slight turn in reverse...

Those are 15" rims? Look bigger than that. I'm going to have a 6" lift, trying to decide on 33 or 35" tires. What engine, tranny, and gears you running and how is it power wise?

This may surprise ppl but I have the 4.9L 300ci with the M50D 5speed and I'm running 3:55 gears... They are 15x8 man lol trust me the price definitely changes from 15 or bigger... And the ol 4.9 will still turn those tires over on dirt and mud, I haven't really noticed a power loss at all and if there is it is minute.. If you go 35s you may have to trim the inside of the bumper a little, it literally took me 5 mins on both sides and you can't even tell I did it bc it's on the inside roll
