..., Don't ever waste $26.49 on Dorman lug nuts from AutoZone. I sure hope they give me my money back for that crap and put them where they belong.

Highly recommended. We use the open end lugs on our race truck.

which turned out to be a bit of a mistake. The hex portion is short enough that when they seat there's only about 1/4 inch sticking out to engage with a lug wrench. They work but we want to trade to the long style

Here's a short writeup on the benefits:

New Radiator, the stock one was leaking. Got it at www.radiatorbarn.com, it is the same one DPG sells, a CSF 3 core brass tanks, copper cores. Solid construction, very impressive. My electric fan hardly ever runs now, and I still need to play with the adjustments on it. When I have it where I want it I don't think even on a 90 degree day the fan will need to kick on at all unless I have been sitting at idle for some time or I am loaded and hauling up a long hill. This thing COOLS.

um no you didn't sound like a dick at all. sorry if keeping salt off my rims happens to be a side benefit of running snow tires for the winter. they're nice rims, and just about every set of aluminum rims i have seen start to corrode by the center caps from salt eating thru the clear coating. if i can keep the salt off them for one winter i will have nice wheels longer. if that makes me a pussy in your book i'll take it.

Looks sweet man.

I have pretty much the same setup, and I'm going to 265/75's on moabs this summer.
