Trucks- The good bad and the ugly.

Incidentally I need to pick up a sleeve and ball to tow... Dealer wanted a small fortune... Anyone know where I can get something decent? I'd like to find something local like at a Wal-mart or Autozone or somewhere like that... Harbor Freight? Any advice would be appreciated...

Wal Mart will have the Reese brand, unless you need more than a 5" rise or drop that should do. I ended up getting on of those rapid hitch deals because I need about a 6 inch rise, and all I can say is that it is awesome. I also felt more comfortable that it is rated at 10,000 lbs and the Wal Mart ones are rated at 5,000 lbss.

Good luck with that. Unfortunately, the factory installed hitch is not exactly a standard size. I ended up getting one from the dealer

My valentines gift and new toy transport vehicle. It is a 2007 that I picked up used with a whopping 700 miles on it. It was a smoking deal and I could not pass it up. I have been a GM guy for the last several years, but I'm sure this will treat me well. Does it count if you buy a gift for yourself?

Awesome! You'll love the Toyo MT's they last forever and are the quietest mud terrain I have ever had on a truck. Are they 35's or 37's?

Toyo's are great I had 33" on my Tahoe. These are 37" I hope they do last forever or at least as long as I own the truck. This vehicle is my company truck and all expenses are reimbursed, I might get grief on replacing such big tires. So far everyone at work has just had great comments. We will wait and see what the bean counters think when it comes time for new shoes as CP3 calls them. Thanks for all the imput. I have enjoyed this thread. As my wife said last night, "You boys and your TOYS". At least I'm not spending my coin on many other bad habits I could have. Just Trucks, Tige, and Sleds.

I had to go black it matches the Tigé . I can't wait to get hooked up and head down the road. It is still to dang cold here, I may have to head down to Talltigéville. Last year we got out on March 15th, the lake still has a good layer of ice on it. I thought global warming meant it would actually be warm.
