South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

Haha yep going to be an HVAC Controls technician. Most of my job will be driving to different job sites and building programs to run the HVAC systems in the buildings. Then loading that software into the controllers and testing each device. On top of that, my Taco will be garage kept most of the time cause I get a new company truck to take home

 

congratulations

 

Thanks man I appreciate it! Can't start till after we finalize the new house though...so it'll be Feb 6th before I start unless we close early.

 

Morning fellow southerners

 

Speaking of moving to the new house

If anyone is looking to buy a John Deere riding mower, I have a like new one that's gonna be for sale. Can't use it at the new house cause it's overkill so it's gonna be truck money. It's the John Deere D-125. Hydrostatic with the 20HP engine and cruise control. Paid $1899 for it new at Home Depot and it only has like 40 hours on it.

Now isn't the best time to sell one but I'll take $1200 for it if anyone on here wants it. Can send pics also. Can include free delivery as well

Question all. 255/85/17 st maxx or 285/75/17 nitto ridge grapplers ?

 

I'm wondering the same thing on size myself... not real sure yet

 

She got a 2012 Honda CRV AWD, a big upgrade from her '04 Honda Accord

 

Im listening lol. Wondering if going 255's will cause me to lose traction...don't wanna sacrifice traction if I'm gonna be going down steep inclines like we did at Choccolocco

 

Yeah, I wanna avoid having to change control arms if I can help it. I think 255's will achieve that but I've been hung up on the traction thing

 

I'm probably as high as I'm going. At least till it's paid off. (Long time from now)

 

I've got uca's. I will need spacers though for the 285's. I already have the cmc. But I drive a lot. So my big issue is daily use

 

Chocco wasn't that steep, well sideways on the Hard trail i got stuck on was kind steep.

 

Steep enough to make me 3 wheel lol probably more of a combination of that and being off camber

 

skinnier tires = more ground pressure, wider tires = less ground pressure. wide is good for flotation in mud and sand, skinny good for rocks . I like the 255/85's myself for my next set. the difference in width is not too much

 

Nice! Thanks for the info that's the way I'm leaning, just wasn't 100% sure on that

 

for the numbers.....

255/16 vs 265/16 = 0.75" ground clearance.

 

That's nice! Doesn't look like much of a difference at all on that chart
