    I work at BFGoodrich. They were a private label tire we used to make. They were discontinued and were selling them to us employees cheap...Got them for $58 each shipped to my door....they stopped making them 2 or 3 years ago. IMO, they sucked. I didn't keep them long.
     
  11. Ah damn lol Any chance of a random set sitting around? Haha. My one co-worker's husband has the all terrains on his Sierra and loves em.

    I turned the ac compressor into an air compressor. It has a 5gal tank under the bed. I have air fitting front and rear to run air impact, air the tires, etc...

    Here is the build for the on-board-air.

    The 5 gallon air tank

    [​IMG]

    Brackets welded to the frame and the tank bolted to that.

    I put in an oiler I got on eBay for $4 and have the inlet to the compressor ran into the air filter box

    [​IMG]

    Here is the outlet that goes to a check valve then to a manifold block that has a gauge, front air line, safty valve, pressure switch 90psi on 120psi off, and then a 3/8 hose that runs to the tank in the back

    [​IMG]

    The pressure switch wires go to the a/c pressure switch wires that I cut off.
    So this way I can turn on the compressor with the a/c switch on the dash and also this way I can utilize the factory relay for the a/c compressor clutch

    [​IMG]

    Here is a finished pic of the tank

    [​IMG]

    I have a fitting here...

    [​IMG]

    ...and here

    It will fill the tank at idle from 0-120psi in about 40-50 seconds. Not to bad and all I invested was about $50 or so :headbang:
