I have no idea this one lug was almost "soft" all the extractor sockets bit right through the thing without a problem, It initially started from using the stock under the seat wrench a while back torqued on an angle (my fault) and it was F*ed since then and like I said everything just literally dug through the lugnut.

Drove it to work in case I have to bull through the SuperBowl crowds downtown here. Luckily I deal with minmal road closures, but I am only a couple blocks from the stadium. Actually coming in early this week to take off early Fri afternoon and avoid some of the craziness.
My first post on this site after lurking for a while! I got new tires today: BFG Rugged Terrains in 255/70R16. I've only driven a few miles on them but so far so good. Handling seems better and the TB is definitely a little taller.

Thanks! They are supposed to perform between the OEM Long Trails and the BFG ATs. They're fairly new to the market I believe but they have some good reviews for our platform.

I went to autozone to try and get LEDs for the interior lamps. found out they only had one in stock. Bought it anyway just to try it out and later try and get my hands on the others. I put it in and its pretty bad ass, but then i came home and found a set of ten of them on amazon for the same price i paid for the one stinkin bulb at AZ. Can't wait to get others... It's gonna be lit up like yankee stadium in my truck!

I bought a set of center caps for my new wheels:
Went to the dealer to find the part number, and they wanted $27 each for them.
Purchased for $75, shipped.

I did take a look at those, but decided not because I couln't find the size - and I think those are larger than what I need.
Edit: those are 3 1/8" front diameter and my wheels only have an opening of 2 5/8".

Me007gold - The first pic of your truck makes the truck look real clean.
HARDTRAILZ - Great choice in tires.

changed transfer case fluid...this weekend i'll change my moms. I hit 100k miles two weeks ago. My mom who bought her truck the day before me is still under 50k. Both bought new in 2004.

Today, I blew my rear u-joint on my rear driveshaft apart. In the middle of a busy road during pre-rush hour. I called Triple A.
The double bad news is that my transfer case leaks a steady stream when my driveshaft isn't in there. If it didn't leak, then I couldn't use 4HI either because of massive front wheel torque shake.
I call it the February First Curse. Last February First, I was in an accident in which I hit a guardrail and got hit by a semi.
