Shop Time w/T.W. Friends. Where is your wallet…..poll

Whatever they cost I'm passing it along to customer, I'll make my money cutting the old ones off and welding these on. I'm trying not to do more than I have to on this

 

I never seem to be that lucky.
Did you guys get severe storms?
I seen the fire damage on the news about Colorado and many without power there too. That's a bummer deal.

 

Danny isn't far from me, we had bad winds (for here) last night and this morning with lots of rain then snow.

 

This is where my problem starts, I had it narrowed down to Cooper AT3 4S or Michelin LTX. Now I've seen the Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015, gotta start shopping again! I have BFG KO2's right now, best tire I've ever had, until they get 15,000 miles on them. At that point, I hate wet roads because they have little grip. Dry or snowy roads they do great, but not when it's wet. Which Yokohama's do you have?

 

Did you use the word 'fetch'?

 

At least it is paid for!!

I am guessing where the shop you can`t shrink rap and store it outside?

I am thinking more a trade show display That is no longer needed .

Is this a business account or a person working from Moms basement I would get the boss to deliver it back.

 

I have parts




Rewiring shit before I even test the components.




it still works.
Just better my way

 

Whats wrong with Fetch or does it have a meaning that Delta09 would use??

 

Nah, nothing wrong with it, it's just old school; like going to the market.

 

The m/t g003 in 265-70-17 from nitto a/t's in 285-55-20. It took me no lie probably 4-5 months before I pulled the trigger. I'm very happy with my choice. I would do it exactly the same over. My truck rides drastically better than before.

 

Good afternoon Shane and company. Hope you had a good Monday.

 

I've got the A/T G015's, 235/85R16 E load range. I've put ~ 28k on them so far and they've done great. Wet/Snow traction is still good (they got a workout last week in the snow that Northern NM/ Southern CO got).

Edit: Updated with tread depth pics. Tires are rotated every other oil change (~10k miles)

 

Yes. Old school like “Maurice, fetch me the TV Guide so I can see if there’s a new Andy Griffith coming on”

 

I've got these 16" TRD wheels for my truck when the time comes for new tires. Just haven't decided on a 265/70/16 that would be equal to factory or going to a 265/75/16 about a inch taller.
I think they'll look nice though. Also toying with the idea of a inch or so lift in the front.

 

Don't forget if you lift the front you gonna need that ECGS bushing, especially if your truck already has some miles on it.

 

I don't want to lift it that much, and there lies the dilemma...risk buying a fixed height or purchase the spanner wrench adjustable type.
I ran close to 40k miles with the wife's truck as high as can go pretty much so 100k miles total before I change the bearing to bushing.
A long time friend who's probably the best driver I've ever rode with...like clutching the the grab handle pucker the sphincter baja off road...he's running the Bilstein 8112's and said they soak up the bumps at speed very well.

 

Reminds me my 2nd gen had some spacer lift on the front to level it (also had to do the bushing a couple months into ownership) but over the years the rear sagged so much it had a slight Carolina Lean, even with replacement leafsprings. Throwing a couple bags of sand in the back and it was not happy. It was sitting on the factory Bilsteins that had almost 150K on them

 

I remember that, can't believe it is still there. Should charge storage.
