old ones were long overdue to be changed. only thing left mechanical wise is plugs/wires. only changing them due to unknown age. other than that the ex is ready to go anywhere!

next up is cosmetic, need new cc buttons, replace bulbs in fog light switch and defroster switch. and then i will be done with the ex...until something else breaks. which is hopefully many miles down the road.

Those are some great tires for all around driving, but they arent great off-road, and dont last as long as other tires on the market, but they are a great bang for the buck

the most off road i do is a gravel/dirt road and even thats on a rare occasion. 420$ installed, with a 50k mile warranty. not too bad for what i needed. maybe its just me, but the truck seems to sit higher with these tires than with the no name street tires that were on it when i bought the truck.
 






They might, the wrangler radial has a stronger sidewall than most street tires. After running street tires you are gonna be in love with the handling in snow. I loved mine the 1st winter i had my ex, then i ran michelin LTX's the 2nd winter. I hated the michelins in the snow
 






I just bought a set of those! Let me know how they work out!

right now i only got about 9 miles on them. they area rated for 50k miles. i got the lifetime balance/rotation, so ill see how long they actually last.
