    Not really somethin I care for to be honest. I’d rather take a low cash price sorry.

    and for those wheel spacers I’m not sure if I’ll be able to check on if I’m able to clear in the rear without em for a couple days just letting ya know

    Narrowly avoided the truck getting totaled on Donner today. Comin home from MEPS.

    Used the shoulder that was unplowed and just wide enough for my truck to slow down after coming around a sharp corner where the road went from really good to sheet of ice. Saw 6-8 cars piled up in front of me and took me probably 100 yards to stop in the soft stuff. Was about to get out and offer to pull the cars facing the wrong way off to the side, but had the gut instinct to not stop where I was. Look behind me after stopping for 15 seconds and see a bunch of cars behind coming in already sideways. so I push through the shoulder around the pileup, and right after I do, I hear a THUNK. and 2 more cars slid into the backside of the pile up and I knew a much larger pack of cars was only 30 ish seconds behind.

    Was going to be a good Samaritan/clear the road for myself but gut instinct told me to move and I was about 30 seconds off from being the middle of a sandwich. Can't even blame them because that was the only 1/4 mile of road on the whole drive I had remotely any issue. it was glassy ice.

    +1 points to my for having common sense moment. and +1000 points to Falken AT3W's for being stupid good in the snow. Will be buying the AT4W's for my next set no matter what.

    The snow is pretty tho :)
    Just bummed MEPS screwed scheduling, and cancelled my date from 3 weeks ago and ill likely miss an application deadline for a boards review that would've been ideal. AND I missed out on 2 good pow days cus of MEPS today....

    Glad you made it out safe with the truck in one piece! It's good to consider helping others, but better to not die.

    Anyone want to get out and do some wheeling/exploring? Even just some messin around at moon rocks would be fun.

    Don't have any friends with vehicles capable still in Reno, and my trucks just 33's skids and rear locker so nothing crazy

    I want to do more proper wheeling but I'm kinda hesitant to push it solo vehicle and no winch. Usually work saturday-sunday though :/
