South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

i know

 

I'll be doing new tires around mid Feb when my 2016 job bonus check shows up. I'm at 33,000+ on the current Duratracs. Plan is to take them off while there's something left to sell.....Don't want to run 'em until the cord shows....

I MAY get another set of Duratracs. (265/75/16 load range C) They're wearing great, ride great, and they do pretty dang good off road. ZERO complaints. And there's that gas mileage thing!
I MAY be going to 255/85/16 KM2's. Like the look, and they don't rub anywhere on a truck I'm familiar with set up IDENTICAL to mine. Duratracs not offered in this size.
I MAY go 285/75/16's, any one of several brands. Duratrac 285's are physically bigger than just about any 285 on the market....and they rub big time without massive
I like the look of bigger tires. But I DON'T like some of the things that come with 'em. The 265's get me through everything I've tried so far. I like being "streetable". There's still the consideration that I do quite a bit of off roading, and don't want to give up anything there.

Got a feeling it'll come down to a coin toss at some point.

 

oh yea thats the truth

 

Yep....I'm always doing the same thing....Trying to put a positive spin on being old(er). Sometimes we just have to wear it like a badge of honor and go on with life!

 

Well, checking my ol Taco into the hospital today...

 

All this tire talk...

I've still got a BRAND NEW 265/70/17 Goodyear Duratrac looking for a new home. Was only mounted as a spare and never saw pavement (or dirt). Guy I swapped tires with didn't want the 5th.

I'm tired of moving the damn thing around...I'm at the point now that I may just hang it on the wall in the garage.

 

About to leave for a turn-around trip to Columbia...anything need Expressed?

 

What happened?

 

You can use them if you want...let me know and I can bring them next time I'm in CHS.

 

What area?

I've been blessed to have good hearing at my age. Even having been in music all my life, I'm with you on that one. I still like to bump it up now and then when a good old school tune comes on. I have most of an audio system in the closest, but still debating on installing it.

Speaking of music, I met a 42 yeay old work buddy in town, and I pulled up next to him jamming some Aerosmith. He later told the guys at work he hopes he feels as good I I do when he's my age. Then he said, he'll I wish I felt that good now.

I've got a drive line vibe I haven't figure out nor have the time to. I'm hoping it's not my new rear diff. Hopefully anything but that. Probably u joint or rear bearing. It doesn't feel far enough forward for CB.

 

The struggle is real.

 

Never heard of this before today... Was looking up self-rescue stuff.

I wish but not easily doable on my truck. I guess we'll get my wife a new vehicle next while I save up for my retirement truck.

 

Yep!

And yep! I posted about it last week, but no one seemed to care at the moment. 2wd problems.

 

Gotta love Australia: "even a female can carry it", "even a female can do it themselves..."

I am suprised that video is not banned in the U.S., lol! I am sure someone will be offended!!!

 

i must have missed it then but it sounds like the CB

 

I may look at into a one piece if it is. There's a grumpy old guy here that's supposed to be really good.
