Just curious I picked up a set of remolded snow tires for my car this winter. Curious to see how they hold up.
They are remolded. Whole set cost me $700 shipped to my door. The quality looks great. Today on the ride to the house they were a bit rough, but the shop put 60psi in all 4 corners. At the house I let the air out to the correct 44psi front/40psi rear, that I run, and the drive to work was great. Nice ride, no shaking and no discernable difference in road noise when I rolled the windows down (as compared to my 295/70r18 Nitto Terra Grapplers.

Minus tires and wheels upgrade, but made it on google months from when I saw the car about a month ago.

So, new to now. I also just added bed lights and will get a picture of that to post. It is nice to see what I am doing when getting my gear for hunting.

Newest update. Bought some $32, 35W LED light bars for reverse lights.

About 1 hour to mount and wire them up and I can see as good in reverse as I can forward. Main problem solved was backing out of sidecuts after dark and back onto fire break roads when hunting. Hard to tell where the dirt road and dirt forest stop/start. No more problems now.

Glad I found your thread. Could I trouble you to snap some pics of the areas that required trimming? Have you run OEM struts this whole time?

Truck looks good. I have a Blue Jeans lariat but its pale Adobe two tone. Getting a bit tired of the two tone so I might switch out the flares for blue ones and either go chrome bumpers or vinyl wrap/plastidip the rockers/bumpers with a dark metallic grey.
