Sitting for a year - any suggestions?
my truck was dead for 11 months get the clutch and transfer case and about ten other thing fixed. All i did is check everything thing and fired it up. Wait I did change my oil before i parked it there was 8000 or 9000 on it so it was time.

Tire Update
The toyo m55 is one of the hardest rubber compounds that you can get in a ten ply. I would run 45 in the back and 50 in the front. The only issue is some people are noise princesses and can hear the tire and don't like them. But i drive the first year of the 24v all i here is the engine. But like i said for the three sets i have run of the past 300,000 miles i loved them. They are like concrete when it come to rocks and drive where you shouldn't be i have never got a flat in the woods.

First winter snow are you ready?
I started running it 2 months ago and i did the same thing had to look at it to make sure it was the right stuff. Have you noticed any difference. I have noticed that i don't have the injector and pump rattle. I have 150 hp injectors and they have sounded like a midget with a hammers since the day a bought them and for the most part it gotten much better.

Tire Update
I just took off a pair of Toyo m55 off my truck that had 82k of them. I love the tires but they are expensive. Where i live 90% of my forest road are large rock mixed with some dirt and they hold up great.

I have my grill blocked with a rail road crossing sign that fell over magically and land in my truck. I cut it to the shape of the opening and drilled holes and i zip tie it to the grill. It works great and warms up ten time faster.
