  1. That is but a fraction of the pictures!!!
  2. Question... HAve you ever seen the installers grab from a different pile of valve stems when installing our E rated tires??? I haven't either... nor had I thought about it till you mentioned the valve stems here Tom... I will say the spare has a metal valve stem... had them keep that one as long as it was good!! http://www.treaddepot.com/group/glst.html%C2%A0%C2%A0.html
  3. I installed the Moog problem solver components and so far so good....
  4. My original tires were only load range D.... But I wanted to upgrade to E and I used the same wheels...
  5. Yes, 80psi and the reviews I read sounded pretty good... I posted 1 link to some of the reviews on the tire but I had also seen some good comments on some RV forums as well..
  6. I finished the Curtains.... Old Fabric New Fabric Installed!! Found the sofa cover at a thrift shop brand new still in the package for 8.00 ( I was looking for a different color, but this will work)
  7. just put Gladiator ST225/75r15 load range E on the RV... NIce looking tire and seemed to have good reviews TreadDepot.com: Gladiator ST Radial - Trailer TiresPlus the price was right!! Less than 500.00 for 5 tires mounted and balanced, along with having them move my original spare to a different rim ( so 6 tires were actually mounted and balanced). I decided I wanted 2 spares for the trailer vs 1. While I had the the wheels off I checked the brake shoes and repacked the bearings. The bearings were definately in need of repacking!!! The front axle more so than the back (thinking the back axle or at least the spindles had been changed at some point as they have a zerk fitting and the fronts do not, also they were full of blue grease and the fronts were mostly dried up red grease) New fender skirts are being made out of fiberglass since the one got shreded with the blowout and the good one is being used for a mold
  8. My Uncle and I went rock hounding several times and I brought back probably well over 800# of Rock!!! Heck, my Favorite one alone weighs about 180!!!My Favorite... I had rocks in the cargo carrier and also on the passanger floorboard and behind the seat!!
  9. And because we had a lot of rain for the past week and I didn't want to go mudding in YabbaDoo my buddy lent me the ranch mule...( I was picking fresh turnips for supper and the dogs were chasing mice) The Dogs and I then headed to one of our favorite spots to swim and fish!!! This beautiful pond is in the middle of a 1500 acre ranch without a soul around except for the wildlife!!! (including Black Bear) I then caught 4 beautiful Rainbow trout!!!My Uncle Rod Master Chef!! We had some wonderful meals cooked over the campfire!!!
  10. I was a little slow at posting but here are some pictures from my fall vacation!! My Uncle and I stopped for some lunch after driving on the Parkway... Our Campsite... Mine and the dogs little Hobo Abode

  19. Found a couple of nice 1st gen'a in a junkyard here in Virginia...couldn't believe they were in the junk yard... The dash and what was left of the body on one of them was Amazing! The green carpet in the o ther was in perfect shape
  20. The dogs and I are enjoying put time up in Virginia visiting Uncle Rod :-) We had some pretty nasty storms come through the first couple of days we were here...but covered the tent in tarps and we stayed dry (and I didn't bring the RV because Florida had too much rain and I couldn't get it out of the yard without ruining my front yard) I caught some trout and picked some fresh turnip greens for one of our suppers hope to go back up and catch some more before I leave... Well, typing this put on the phone is a PITA so I will try to post more pictures when I get near a computer..
  21. Looking good!
