Ya the sides are going to have steel diamond plate going from the bumper to close to the fender flare. My welding teacher said that he should have the steel sometime this week.

Retreads huh? . . .I guess you plan on donating "gators" to your local highway at some point. They look good on your truck, however, retreads are not even close to the structural integrety of a new tire. Be careful man. Lookin good tho.

Probably should do some research before you just run your mouth, there are multiple threads on this issue, as well as articles documenting the reliability of these tires. But hey, dont let the facts get in the way of your argument.
