I don't think you'll have to worry about them leaving or the truck on blocks. Luckily I've never had a reason to need a wheel lock and I hate'm. Doing tire changes and dealing with aftermarket wheels is the worst because you know the salesman convinces them and upsales them into wheel locks and they can never find it when they need it or the shop, or the last shop lost it. Always an exucse as to why they can't get their wheels off.

Besides, who needs a wheel Lock, when you have a Glock? The only lock I need always starts with a G as in G23, G19 or G21.

Before my new BFG's i ran a set of yokohama geolander at/s... They were a nice set of tires. Pretty quiet, lot of traction in wet pavement and pretty good off in the dirt and gravel as well. They were a set of 32x11.5R15.

This is my first set of Yokohamas, good to hear there are some good experiences out there. I was looking at Pirellis but didn't think it was worth the extra $.

I must like spending money or something, I bought a full set of Michelin LTX MS/2 for my R20 (same 235/85/16 size). $125 would be a lot nicer, I'll have to try those Yokohama's out next time I get tires.

The good thing about those Michelin LTX MS/2s is they go forever!! I've heard several people say they've gotten 80k or more miles out of those tires.

I'll get some miles on them and do a little towing later and see how they hold up. I did look wistfully at those michelins though, great reputation and I think they wear like iron right?

Fuel pump turned itself into an oil pump..... Replaced that.

Then decided to do belts, power steering hose, and thermostat housing....

I removed my ac belt, but I'm thinking of getting the crank/fan/PS belt in it's place since I don't know how I feel about only the 1 belt on the water pump.

Painted the hood last week. Needs to be wet sanded and buffed. Too cold for that today so I went gun shopping. See the gun thread.

Picked up my headers from being sandblasted and repainted with flame proof paint. Hope it holds up.
