    Yup.

    12mm offset is just over 4" BS though.... So in theory yours should tuck in closer to the inside than mine.

    :confused::confused::confused: I'm lost haha. Your tires are also over 2" wider than mine...

    Currently my tires are just barely out of the fenders. Barely

    Maybe mine stick out a little bit more than I thought.... Haha

    Yours should be at least 1/4" farther in than mine though. Close enough.

    Haha ok that makes more sense, yours are a lot further out. I found a picture as well. Looks like the actual tread doesn't clear the fender but it just enough to fling rocks

    Don't get me started on that. Sams Club has been the biggest pain in the ass. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. Originally told me 2-4 weeks. Checked back with them after weeks 2,3, and 5. and they kept telling me they were in, but just couldn't find them. Or their computer was wrong. Each time I dealt with a different person which made it worse because nobody knew anything about anything. And to top it off, I had to drive there to each time find anything out because they won't answer their damn phone and it doesn't give you an option to leave a message. Twice I was told by whoever was looking for the tires that he would have someone else call me about it. The last time I heard that was Thursday.

    I was working up the courage to go in yesterday to ask for my tires or get a refund, and tell the GM about the service I got. Which I NEVER do...

    And then I got a call yesterday morning(four days since I was told I'd get a call back after he got back from his lunch break) from them saying they were on backorder and should ship this week and be here next week.

    I've worked retail for a long time. I understand shit happens. I understand there are things out of your direct control, especially in giant company. But to keep shrugging it off and not doing any research until I was kind of a dick about it after 5 weeks is terrible. All it would have taken is one five minute phone call to their distribution center to find out they were back ordered.

    I don't care that it would take seven weeks if I knew up front. But saying 2-4 and then telling me they are back ordered after 5 weeks is unacceptable.

    Anyway, I don't normally get worked up about this type of stuff. Sorry if it sounds like I'm being pissy but the way their employees handled it really rubbed me the wrong way.

    Oh one more thing...I'll be asking for my money back for what I paid for installation. It does include a pretty good warranty and lifetime balances, but if I can't trust them to call me back or answer a damn phone I certainly won't let them touch my truck.

    Nothing truck related lately other than getting a p0750 code the other day. Cleared it and haven't seen it since though. Something transmission related so I hope it's nothing serious. Has been shifting normal before and after the code so who knows.

    Anyway, since my tires still haven't shown up I decided to buy some guns to let off some steam at the range.

    Haven't shot them yet but plan to this weekend.

    You going to a range? I've been wanting to hit the indoor one in the valley. I just picked up a used M&P 40

    Wait, there's an indoor range out there? I thought that closed a long time ago. Or maybe I'm thinking of the one in anchorage. My plan was to go to the free range on Maud road in Palmer but I may have to check out the indoor range too lol.

    Looks like they're only open in the evenings. I'd like to check it out but I gotta be back in town before they even open lol. I think maud is where we'll go if we can find a target or two to take with.

    Maud is currently just a rifle range with paper targets allowed I think...
    The proposed pistol range will be built this coming summer iirc...

    Bit of both haha. So I'm guessing it's frowned upon to shoot pistols at a rifle range? We may just go to sutton if so.

    The other part of the :goingcrazy: is I have four large pieces of rubber waiting to be installed tomorrow.

    Well when I went it was packed with someone waiting to get on the benches, and the targets are aways away for my ability with a pistol haha. If you plan to go there and will want to sit, bring a chair lol. No benches yet iirc.

    :worthless:
