    I'm sure they have a recorded call where I stated that I only received 4 of the 5 ordered.

    I'm not looking to score extras. I just want to receive what I ordered and paid for. It sucks when you spend days (weeks?) researching and finally come to a decision, find the right vendor and spend the money, only to have FedEx screw everything up and make you wait.

    Psssht...

    My buddy Chad Dotzler jumped his Mom's Corolla about that far when we were in high school, and didn't crash. We did, however, think we were going to have to take the guy riding in the back seat to the hospital for a minute. Turns out he just got the wind knocked out of him. That was scary for a minute!

    Sadly (although probably for the better) that bridge has since been demolished. It was legendary! Anyone who grew up near St. Francis surely knew about it.

    Haha! I might have to get the coordinates from you so that I can see how the 4Runner does on it, lol!

    I got nostalgic and decided to look up pictures of the bridge. I can't really find any great ones, but this one is decent. Fun fact: I once got into a fight with the kid who lived in the house on the right side of the picture. :rofl:

    Here's a better depiction of how the bridge just changes pitch abruptly. You can see the house from the other picture at the bottom of the hill.

    And here's the other side, heading westbound.

    I don't think anyone did. IIRC, he pushed me down and ran. :rofl:

    Before I post them for sale, thought I'd give you hooligans first crack.

    I'll be selling two sets of 5 tires. One is Goodyear Wrangler Duratracs, load C. The other set is currently on the Taco, Mickey Thompson Baja Boss ATs, standard load. Both are 265/75 r16 with good tread remaining.

    No firm price on the Duratracs, probably looking for $300-$400 on the Mickeys. Slide into my DMs or text me if interested.

    That's an excellent price on the Mickeys. Ask the guy who just bought a set! Had to have 33s though...

    Any reason you're willing to state publicly that you're ditching the Mickeys? Hoping to have mine on the truck early next week. Curious to know if you had any issues with them.
