UTAH (and Surrounding Areas) BS Thread

Damn....I'd just had my tires rotated at Discount Tires the other day.

 

He went to big o tires (they are not known for quality work) so you should be fine.

 

Big O do mine, but if you think I don't hit em with a torque wrench after, you're silly. Corey and the gang at the Sandy shop are solid guys, but ya know "trust but verify"

 

Depends on the shop. Sandy on 90th and 7th E and the one in Spanish Fork are solid shops.

 

Or too many ugga duggas at the tire shop...

 

Or both.

Had a guy ask we if I had a tire iron the other day at the store cuz his "wasn't working" trying to change a flat

Pulled out my breaker bar to go help and the tire shop that put those things on however long ago had ROUNDED OUT all 6 bolts!

 

Gotta be super picky on who you let touch those things apparently

 

It was pretty impressive actually. They were almost perfectly circular. That's how bad it was.

 

DIY security lugs...

 

So secure, even YOU can't take them off

 

I did this accidently to my truck, the stock nuts are so short you easily round them off with the factory lug wrench. Interestingly the 200 series nuts will fit and are 8mm longer.

 

if i remember right, the Camry studs fit us and are just a touch longer too for more engagement.

 

Jesus!....

 

Would love to.

The home buying process is grueling and frustrating, but at the end of the day its worth all the blood sweat and tears. Congrats my friend.

 

Drove the Transcontinental Railroad Backcountry Byway on Saturday. We were drove up past Grouse Creek and then into Montello, NV prior to starting the actual Byway. We found out we would have been fine avoiding Montello. We were out for about 11 hours but if you cut out Grouse Creek and Montello you could shave a couple hours off. We also spent quite a bit of time walking around exploring off the old railroad grade. You have to drive pretty slow on the railroad bed to keep an eye out for old railroad spikes, we spotted a few, luckily all before puncturing a tire.

If you enjoy the desert and are interested in the history of the railroad or the area it is a nice trip. Here is a picture from what is left at the Terrace Cemetery. I would remind anyone that does visit to leave behind anything you find. The area has been looted so much that it is becoming really hard to find evidence of the habitation. Someone even looted the grave markers from the Cemetery.

 

Epic day yesterday. Visited Omaha, Gold and Juno beaches in Normandy, France.

 

That's one visit I have never made, and I hope to do so one day.

But I gotta give you flak. You came all the way from UT to France, and you didn't visit UTAH beach?

 

Yeah, I know. It’s part of a cruise, which I didn’t set up. I’m kinda gravy training. Just glad to have had the opportunity to make it here.

It’s freakin epic. The trip isn’t over yet. I attempted to bribe the tour guide. He wasn’t having any of it. He said we have a timetable.

 

Anyone know of a place that sells used toppers??
