You auto guys sure do have to spend alot to hold horsepower....glad a clutch is all I need, but sometimes shifting gets really old...

Yeah. Tis true. BUT, doing a 10psi 4wd launch and having the converter lock up in 2nd gear and knock you back in your seat is so worth it.

I swear these BFG's are cursed. I've had them listed for god knows how many months, lowered the price down to nothing. Have had several buyers that back out last minute or don't want to pay shipping and yesterday a guy who I've talked to in the past commited to buying them. Today a jeep cherokee t-boned the front drivers side of his truck and he isn't sure if they are going to total it. ***???????? The gods do not want me selling this tires. Hopefully they won't total out the truck and the guy can still buy em....I'm about ready to burn these dang things...

It's unfortunate...but the used tire market has always been very low. Kind of like used CTD's w/ extra HP.
I stole a set of 285/70/17's, BFG A/T's, with 1/2 tread on them.... for drag racing. I told the guy I did not want to 'win' if he felt he was 'losing' but he could not get a decent offer anywhere else... and he and his wife were fighting over them still being in the garage. He had them in the classifieds for 6 months w/ no offers??
I feel your pain Bryan...those are great looking wheels!!

hahaha, nice mike...nothing is $650 for the set but I might re-think that depending on the member...I have to wait for this guy to follow up on whether or not his truck his totaled but if someone has or knows someone who has a serious interest let me know. Otherwise Mike's suggestion sounds pretty nice...
