    And better looking than my Toyos. Was there a noticeable change in mileage?

    wear wise yes, mpg ehh, kind of gave up on that when I lifted the truck and added a winch. but they are much lighter than other brands. I have 265/70/16 and they are 38lbs each so possibly better mpg from when I first had the truck. I had some balding bf goodrich on prior

    Is there an app for TW? If not is there anyone on here that could develop one? I know there is another app called Taco Forum

    No app. Used to work on some weird forum app, but it got hacked and then Bob upgraded the site.

    Mobile browser is better IMHO. All features work.

    If I didn't have bad luck I'd have no luck. Some of you may recall that I tore my left bicep tendon in January. Well I just tore my right one. Going in for a MRI tomorrow hoping to get surgery before end of week. Just shitty timing as I'll be in therapy for 6 months again and have my arm immobilized for 3 months. Oh yea and we were supposed to move this coming week so I guess I'll be hiring movers instead.

    Oooof, ouch man. That's horrible, sorry to hear it. Though - you're probably going to be one step closer to being the bionic man after the surgery. Yikes! Definitely empathize with the 'no luck without bad luck' feelings, though!

    ...on a random note...not sure what to think when you 'like' a post like that. :spy: . Not sure if supportive...or sadistic.

    Sorry man. My brother went through that, claimed it “threw his stroke all off.”

    Hope everything heals well.
