Amazon 7 #1 January 23, 2008 My warranty if up on my truck so I thought I would trick it out a little... nothing really fancy... just some nice agressive 35" x 12.5" tires on some nice 18" rims... I thought for a few minutes about the 38" or bigger tires.. but shit... that was over $4000 dollars... and with a lift.... hell that was more than the brand new Dodge I bought in 1976 I am not liking the 21st century pricing right now.. I am still not sure how much I want to lift this thing... Tomorrow I get to spend the day checking out some of the local shops to see if they can beat the Les Swaub price for that...

Amazon 7 #4 January 23, 2008 No way man.... I saw what the price tag for the tires on that thing cost...At least that program is who is paying for these... but I would prefer to spend the money on other things. I got to walk all over the first three...87's Number one is postponed from flight ops still ... they have to get number 2 and number 3 done so they can break them.. THEN number 1 can fly...

Misternatural 0 #7 January 23, 2008 You know you Boeing people are killing the stock price with these delays, investors are starting to murmur "go with Airbus."Now they promised that you will get to jump out of that thing right? can you invite us all too? I mean shouldn't they use well trained jumpers for payload in case something goes wrong? Oh as for tires try Tirerack.com...awesome deals shipped to your door.

I did that too...crumpled up the license plate, thankfully that was all. It's still on there 4 years later. Been wondering when I would get a new one.
