Any word on TW Avs meet up again? I missed the one last year


On another note, I blew a tire in the Lexus on my way home from work last night. AWD so I gotta replace all 4, any tire recommendations? Usually Discount Tire on ebay does their $100 off on $400+ in Oct but don't see anything yet... I'm sure the second I buy new tires the offer will come up

 

If they can make it to Fairplay, i can shuttle from here and schedule my maintenance in Montrose or grand junction. Needs to be done in a week or two...but no rush.

 

Those were put up there after OSHA said that the 4” angle iron on top was not safe to belt to while walking across the arm because it’s not “weight rated”. That’s what the horizontal safety ropes are there for now.
Back when I came through the apprenticeship we would run across the arm unattached.
OSHA takes all the fun out of everything.

 

Get more coffee anyways

 

Any 3rd gen guys here running 33's?

Would like some pictures if possible and to know if you had to do any trimming/spacers ect.

This thread has too many pictures for me to decide on

Thanks!

 

Install now, clearance later

 

Trying to get an idea what I will get myself into other than lower MPG

 

Most likely cab mount chop, other trimming will vary but would be mostly plastic trim. If you install a front armored bumper that would take care of the need to trim anything at the front end of the wheel well. @Coop68 did have to flatten his pinch weld, but I believe that also varies depending on wheel offset and alignment.
Thus the comment from @thegr8punkin of install now and clearance later, but those are the areas you may have to contend with

 

I’ll sell you some 4deez

 

@bot102

Install them, they will self clear each turn...

 

If you’re worried about cutting/trimming go with pizza cutters. They will require much less

 

Plus I think not a Load E behemoth and save the additional weight too

 

Nah... my pizza cutters are heavy load E

 

If I sell my current tires at the highest I can get for them, best I can afford is 1st gen KO2's

Unless of course, @CharlieCafe buys my P229 . Then some bumper funds can go to that too

 

That is what this truck was running. OME springs with BP51 shocks.

 

Nope, not petty at all. Bark less and wag more is how I like my dogs.

But before animal control does anything, in the Choice City of FoCo, they need 3 separate complaints from separate households.
Be the first, and maybe speak to your other neighbors and see if they are annoyed too. They might jump on board.

 

Soooooooon

 

I dig it

 

I drive on I25 from Westminster to Greeley and back 4 days a week for school. I could see that being a problem

 

Have you thought about running 2 sets of wheels and tires? I dropped from 33s to 31s when I was putting a ton of miles on my truck for school
