$2500 for a set of tires and wheels.....ARRRRGGGHHH

Recommended Posts

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:S

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...

No way man.... I saw what the price tag for the tires on that thing cost...:S:S:S

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...

Mountain sumpin or other.. from Les Swaub...and they were on sale.. package deal... You can come check them out at Prairie if you want;)

They are not on the truck yet... waiting for the lift first..I think I will just stick with a 6".... the 12" is just... a little more than I want right now...:)

You know you Boeing people are killing the stock price with these delays, investors are starting to murmur "go with Airbus.":P

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.

Beware of the collateralizing and monetization of your desires.

I go out and play in my 4x4 lots more... freaks out the good ole boys in the mud pit when they see a 2003 Dodge... and most of their are old beat up POS..and yes I was doing that within 6 months of buying it.. I bought the thing to use..and only I get to abuse it:P

Well the 03 Diesel 4x4 was pretty spendy at the time.. but its paid off.... and yes I have a few dings but nothing really bad... well except where I backed into the damn boat trailer... and this freakin tree in the parking lot.. I suppose I should get a new tailgate.. but hell... I like its battle scars.

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. :D
