The Yokohamas are pretty good on wet roads. I havent had a chance to get them off road yet. And they are pretty quiet on the hiway. I'm hoping to do some wheeling over the holidays.
The seat covers i bought from www.wetokole.com

It looks good but I don't think I like the wheels sticking out so far. It reminds me of a certain group of people who like to lower their vehicles and put low profile tires on with the rims that stick way out.

Yeah.. they do stick out kinda far, But, at the time i was thinking of going with another 3 inches of lift (body lift)on top of my rancho 3" and stuffing 33-35's under it.. Then they wouldn't look like they stuck out that much... They only stick out 1.5-2" out. And it made a really big difference in how it handles.. the stock 8's let the tire roll over more in the corners.. With those 10's the side walls stay pretty rigid.

32x11.50x15 on 15x10's, you'll need a susp lift or a body lift to run them unless you stick with the 8" rim with the factory off set..

rivermaniac: I have no complaints from the rancho lift as of yet.. Other than i wish it was about 2" taller. It didn't effect my ride at all other than the shocks being stiffer. And yes those are weld racing rims.

Hawk:Yes you are suppose to be impressed.. remember i'm the guy who would never buy anything unless he had to.. And nice score on that Sprigfield..Am i suppose to be impressed? ;) i just put together an AR. Havent had a chance to shoot it yet... Had to polish the trigger and all that cool stuff b4 i take it out..

how did you customize your speakerbox? I have a similar box but its a two part. One part the stores the jack, the other just a box. Did you do it yourself? It looks awesome, hope I can do the same b/c (2) 10" jbl in a banpass box takes up the whole back seat!

Ntense: The box is made by MTX. It's a custom box that you can buy made for a dakota. Jonas hooked me up with a good price on it. It's one piece made of plastic and totaly sealed.

McLaren: It's made by AutoVentshade®. I wish i would have bought a factory one that didn't require double sided sticky tape to attach it.
It's been on there for 5yrs and hasn't fallen off yet so i guess thats a bonus. If i ever want to take it off i'm going to have a helluva time gettting all the glue off..

Christopher: Thanks, I'm not sure what color dope is but, i thought it was green.. ;) must be that mexican red hair dope.. lol
