Default Hello from missouri

I am in the process of buying my uncle's 01 king ranch and was lookin for info about it online and found this forum so I figured I would join. I havent gotten the truck yet since my uncle just passed away my cousin is in the process of transferring the title to her name so that I can buy it. I am looking to get a new set of tires for it and was lookin at 285/70/17 terra grapplers and was wondering if anyone had any things to say about them or pictures of them on a truck like mine. From what I have found I should be able to fit these tires with no issues and not even have to lift the truck. Lookin forward to postin pictures as soon as I get the truck!

King Ranch, very nice! Be sure to post photos once you have made it your own. Do you have plans?

I'm from Joplin, MO. little town down in the southwest corner. Right now the plans are the tires like I mentioned since it needs new ones anyway. The rear window leaks so I've gotta see what its gonna take to fix that. I've read about the cracked frame, leaky seal or brake light...just need to get it where I can look at it and see what I see. As far as other plans, nothing really. Not really looking to lift it, maybe a tuner later on, I've seen good things from Edge. Other than that just clean it up and enjoy it. It's only got 68,xxx on it since my uncle didn't drive it much.

And dont worry I will post plenty of pictures as soon as it is in my driveway
