Thanks, we don't really get much snow, maybe 4-6" max on an average winter. Take note above where I said I went overboard. I was thinking about slapping A/T's on and then thought, "what if I wanted to play in the mud a little?" Others told me I wouldn't regret going with M/T's.

Certainly looks like you are set up for pretty much anything mud or otherwise. Well maybe not the highway..........
Enjoy your new sneakers.

Same for me on a Jeep Wrangler I had. Those big lugged, wide tires suck in slush and anything but deep snow. Jeep handled better in 2wd than 4wd

Nice work.
Just came from TL forum where a douchebag thinks his all-season tires will be fine for winter driving.

I live in Buffalo and yes we obviously get snow but there are a large amount of people in this area who believe the same stupid-ass thing. My wife and I both have AWD vehicles (335xDrive/530xiT) and we put Blizzaks on them every year. Why not take full advantage of the technology and ability right?

IMO big cities it isn't really necessary. Toronto for example sends an army of snow plow trucks and hundreds of tons of salt, enough that 99% of winter the roads are just wet with a bit of slush.
Truck looks mean with those tires, and in great condition for its age!

north side of Lake Erie gets a fraction of the snowfall we get on the south and eastern point but your point is well taken.

TL is fine, Still trying to figure out why the hell it won't start without the automatic trans range switch. It has never worked with this Richiev6 module. I sold my turbo kit to Friesm2000 so he's got that installed and such.
As I told juniorbean, it rides like shit but I think it's because they forgot to balance the tires. Beyond that I have been willing to expect that the tires will be much louder (which is no problem at all) and that the ride will be bouncier.
I got mud tires because I might try a little bit of offroading. I've never really done it before. There's a park about an hour and half away from here:

The odometer says 234k on it. I have had it since 215k and I had the 350 replaced this January at 232k. I'm looking forward to many good years with this truck.
Thanks for the compliments guys.
