switched back to street shoes
No off-roading planned for the next several months, so instead of laying down expensive BF Goodrich rubber on the pavement, I switched back to the old original stock Pirelli Scorpion ATR's.

For off-road, I agree.
For looks, I agree.
For handling, I agree.
For cost, the BF Goodrich ain't cheap. (and the stock Pirelli's were "free" considering they came with the truck)
For road noise, the BF Goodrich are noisier.
For smooth ride, the BF Goodrich give a stiffer ride.
You can't have your cake and eat it!
It's a compromise. September is my next off road adventure, so I'll just save the expensive BF Goodrich rubber and smoke the Pirelli's until then .

I forgot to mention that the stock Pirelli 20" Scorpion ATR's have a very noticeable cold weather "thump" for the first 4 or 5 miles. Very annoying. The 18" BF Goodrich TA KO's do not suffer from that problem.

There were two cracks on my backup camera so I went to Canadian Tire and purchased a new one. Switched the bad camera for the good one.
Then I had an extra monitor on my hands. What to do......what to do......got it! I placed it in my back window. So now I can look at my monitor mounted on the front windshield, and if I decided to turn my back and look out the back window I can still see what is not in my line of sight.
The two monitors, plus my backup sensors, I should never ever back over something, into something, or miss when hooking up to a trailer.

Decided to fix the broken lock on my tailgate.
Turns out there was a stick inside of it, and that it hasn't been used in a long time... Now it works perfectly fine!
