I've been needing tires on my dually for awhile. When I got stuck (saturday) in the wet grass, spun, but didn't tear up the yard, I knew I had issues. Later that day, towing my 20ft enclosed down the 2-lane back roads, I was traveling about 15mph. Went to pass the bicycle while climbing a slight grade, I added throttle and spun the tires with ease.. Now, these tires (Firestone Transforce AT, 235/85-16) aren't bald, by any stretch, but they are getting close to their end of life cycle.. I decided to look for tires. My sizes were 215/85-16, 235/85-16, or 245/85-16. I searched and searched, and 6 tires seemed to average about $1000 or so, shipped. Locally,…

No wildfires out here, but this is what part of I70 on the west side of Indy looked like when I went home about 3 weeks ago. I crossed a bridge over a river that topped its banks and all of sudden it was like driving to Key West only lower.

We were on our way home from Donnelly, Id. this afternoon. Highway flashing sign said, "Wild fire ahead 29 miles." Mike said, "I know where that's at. It DB's ranch. I drop you off at the house Mom, grab my gear and get a fire truck. That was at 2:30...It's now going on 8PM. Winds have died down up at this end of the canyon which is a good sign. I'll leave a light on for him. Say a pray for all of them. Mopar Mom

Well I got around to building a spray boom to put on the fourwheeler today. Did my math wrong though. I have a 1gpm pump on sprayer and thought I could safely handle 5 nozzles without overworking the pump but the pump is to small to handle that much flow requirements. Aside from that it works great. I have a ten foot boom and only 70 dollars in it. But will have to upsize on pumps which will be another fifty dollars. - - - Updated - - -

Alright, looking for anyone who lives in Missouri. Need to see if you have seen or heard anything on the news about this:Just recently, within a few days or so ago, my wife had some of her extended family murdered. I guess it was 6 people murdered and the guy was shot and killed by the police.If anyone here lives in Missouri and remembers hearing about this, please, I would appreciate a link to the story to share with her family.

My daily driver is squealing with the brakes... I'm really disappointed with the serive life of the pads that my mechanic has been using. Honestly, I don't drive slow but I believe in inticipating my turns & need to stop & prepositioning my vehicle in the corrrect lane... coasting off speed (like getting free gas) before finally using the brakes. It seems like every year I'm replacing brakes & the shop charges are not cheap. So, I'm going to just stick new pads on it myself. But what to get? The prices are all over. I'm out of touch with the better/lesser grades. What to get? Where to get it?Thanks, guys!
