Thanks! They are 265x70x17. Side by side, they are a little shorter than the old 285x75x16's.

Hopefully, no more than I drive anymore, they will last a few years. I did have them balanced at Discount Tire and bought the life time rotate and balance.

Are you sure about the "no trades"? I can just swing by your house and swap mine for yours.

It's all good, just need to get into a newer truck. I don't have the time like I used to, work is kicking me square in the pebbles the past couple months and now my parents have a project starting up in Corsicana that I'm running. Haven't had a day off since lake Powell the ended July 4th. My time I get here and there I don't want to spend fixing something stupid.

Love that truck though. Will more than likely shed more than a few tears if and when she leaves

Don't forget the races on Oct 15th. The Ranch will be open Friday night. A convoy like the old days would be nice.

IM gonna try and make this. I went ahead and scheduled myself off Saturday the 15th. Not sure if I will spend the night at the ranch or not....maybe i can bring the toyhauler if i get real motivated. I still gotta work Friday.

Will definately come back Saturday evening for the "meet". I hope we have a good turnout. I haven't been to a "meet" in a while. We haven't hardly had one lately anyway.

Who all is in? Me, Charlie, RJ?, .......

Wow! Sure not much interest here. I thought with the weather cooling off, the turnout would be good.

Side note: Has anyone heard from Rob? I can't seem to get get in touch with him..........

I won't make the races during the day on the 15th, but I should be back that afternoon/evening for some BSing at the ranch.

Don't worry Brian - no matter where she sleeps, your truck will always be your baby!
Maybe she'll go to a good home where you can visit...




Fred & I are going to the 10/15 event, so we'll plan to stay at the Ranch Friday & Saturday evenings (gonna be passing by on 121 anyway).
Thanks Charlie for hosting!

Hopefully Brian can make it to Fix Fire , and if Robert can hang all weekend there's an even chance for a fuel filter change (should have enough kibbitzers to form a peanut gallery )... might even get to hear Charlie croon Skeeter Peter to us again.

I'll have Expensive Beer & the Fred Show in tow for my friends!

"There's a skeeter on....." ........never mind.......

Glad you guys are going to make it! Unless we get a lot of rain, I doubt if the burn ban will be lifted by then.
