What is your personal rig? This is my first diesel rig, and I love it. Its a 2002 GMC 2500HD, 6.6L Duramax LB7, EFI tuner with Edge Display, Devils Down Water Methanol Injection, EGR Cooler with EGR Delete, 5spd Allison Auto, 4X4. 175K miles. Great truck.
2000 f350 crew cab long bed, 7.3 with banks stinger + (4" exhaust, upgraded intercooler and piping, turbo, exhaust brake, transmission controller, etc. aftermarket aluminum trans pan and rear end cover, polished headache rack, and 04+ Harley davidson headlights. Just over 100,000 miles, I really want to get a DP tuner chip to take advantage of the upgrades I have on it already.
2013 F350, 6.7 Powerstroke. 42K miles, bought it new over 2 years ago. It's been a great truck and I'll buy another one. Bone stock and it will haul ass, pull a load and is comfortable. The most powerful stock truck I have owned.
I upgraded the XL steel wheels with 18" Ford Lariat wheels I bought off Ebay. What is everyone running tire wise in the 18" size? It's getting time for tires and my BFG's have been great just want to see what else is out there.
I have been running 18" BFG Trail TAs at 80 PSI on my 06 F350 FWD and averaging 50,000 miles per set. The best tire for snow traction I have came across. Often loaded to the max with no failure issues to date. I am changing my F550 FWD to the same in a 19.5 when I need tires next.
05 f250 (190,000) 6.0. Run Goodyear duratrac in summer and the studded version in winter. It's my plow truck for our mile long driveway and hardly ever have to put chains on with these tires.
Only picture i have on my new computer. 2012 Ram 2500 4x4 Long horn edition with the 6.7 cummins. Always been a slight bit partial to the rams and am very happy with this truck besides axle seals going out at 45k
05 3500 SRW duramax, all stock with 302,000 miles on it. I bout a set of vision (Rickson) 8lug 19.5 wheels so I can run a heavier tire they have been great. iv had them on the truck since the first set of stock tires wore out!! the 19.5 tires live a LONG time on a pickup truck..
Thank you Sir......Nice rigs my man....looks like you got all the bases well covered.....Wish I had a roller like you have pictured. Used yo rent them allot but never purchased one which now I regret not doing.

Thanks. The roller was a rental, as was the dinky dump trailer to haul it in since they were out of tilt-beds. I do a lot of gravel ranch roads/driveways and parking lots so I usually line them up to roll as many as I can in a day.
On the truck note... I love the Cummins, but after owning the Dodge/ Ram for awhile it feels pretty flimsy compared to the SD. The Ram's body panels feel like old Coors cans.
I run a Ford F350 also. I bought one in 2011 and traded it last week for a 2015 F350. Only problem I had with the 2011 was the urea tank froze and broke a nipple off. Guess it was my fault as I had filled the urea tank to full for January in Minnesota...lol.
