Little bit chilly for sailing isn't it?

 

Holy crap busy day.
Get a little snow on the ground and everybody panics.
It took me probably 45 minutes to eat my sandwich today.

 

Its a small harbor called Hen cove all the boats are pretty much launched and hauled by the owners. The big boatyards probably still have a few kicking around.

Its not to bad. I have really good foul weather gear with nice insulated sailing boots. The only thing that gets cold is your face. Its like skiing except you have salt water hitting your face.

 

Fran, what tires did you end up getting?

 

I got KM2s same size. They ride awesome compared to the Xterrains.
I think that has something to do with the construction. The old ones where bumpy and didn't like to balance.

I hope these tires are as good as the old ones offroad though As for street driving im liking them already.

 

Leaning towards 33x10.5 BFG At's for my next tire. Basically same weight as 32x11.5x15's, less weight that 265/75/16's. I like my duratracs, but want more tire and don't want 33x12.5's due to weight.

 

I can see your dinghy....

 

The 10.50s will behave a lot better wont be to much different in power. Plus you can use your stocks rims. although they will touch the frame at full lock. I ran mine on the stock 15 aluminums I still have 5 or 6 of those things.

 

That's the hope. It will be a while until I need new tires, unless I destroy my current ones...

Could always run small spacers too.

 

I tried the 1/4 spacers. You will need longer studs they are just to sketchy. They only hit the frame with the edges of the sidewall lugs, so I wasn't to worried.

 

That was part of our AOR when I was in the CG.

 

Sweet then your familiar with the whole area. I have a mooring in Hen Cove, my dad has one in Hospital cove right up the road. With the chart room right in between the two. And bassets island to hang out on. Its one of the best if not the best anchorage in buzzards bay.

 

What do you guys think?? I wont be able to reply to you guys till after 8:30pm tonight, so don't think i'm being dickish!! Toytec ULK

 

Looks good. Hows the alignment specs?

 

It looks like a whole new truck. Much better looking.

 

Came out pretty good actually. My buddy said it wasn't far out. Steering seems to track a little though. Don't know if thats normal or just the tires

 

Probably the caster due to lift. Aftermarket UCA's will fix that.

 

We just had our yearly get together out on the causway to scraggy neck in September.

 

Just found out all of the McGuard lug nuts on my truck are messed up--2 were cracked and another had the cap with the keyway engraved snap off like the first one. Replacing these 4 nuts with gorillas for sure now. Heads up if anyone has these keep an eye on them or just get rid of em

 

Thanks Seth--The Toe was out farther than the camber. I thought i could see the camber in at the bottom but it's an optical illusion. Or my buddy smoked some good stuff today.
