  1. Remember Russ; you need an LT tire that's E rated for your truck. That tire you linked is a P rated tire.
  2. I find it "stressful" to drive fast, weaving in and out of traffic. I much prefer for all the idiot drivers to pass me. Even in states where the Interstate speeds are 75mph and faster; I usually put around 65-68mph and get my usual 20mpg or so!!
  3. National Lampoon could make a whole series..................and sequels......................for all of the 57 states in our country...............about the "STUPID" drivers that are out on vacation.
  4. In the immortal words of "Forrest Gump"........................."Stupid is, as stupid does." All in the need to save 5 minutes of driving time!!
  5. Tire Rack has nice reviews of General Grabber AT2's. At a real nice price also.
  6. Brake controller???? What's a brake controller???? I see many part-time towers that actually downplay the importance of this item.
  7. The wood that I cut, split and stack this year won't be burned until winter '15-16!! I've got the wood for this coming winter...............I'm looking to get about 2 years ahead.
  8. I'm jealous. Haven't CSS any wood since back in March. Need about 2 full cord to be a full 2 years ahead in firewood. The next-door neighbor has an ash tree that evidently has succumbed to the first stage of EAB. Gonna tell him the next time I see him that I'll take the firewood for free!!! Probably about 1/2 cord total. Heck..............free and close is good!!
  9. All you "mutha's"!!!!! Just kidding you guys!! Whatever y'all are doing have a great time and be safe!!
  10. Filled up today just as the DTE on the Lie-O-Meter hit 0. Wound up with 720 miles on the tank and filled up with 32.4 gallons for an average of 22.2mpg. Probably about 80-90 miles of the tank were towing my work trailer.
  11. Just think of the fuel mileage increase if you did have your truck aligned!!!!
  12. If'n you're driving thru Chitcago to or fro; you've got a place to stay here at the humble dump. The log has been removed...........
  13. How do you feel about.................Santa Claus, Indiana??? Never order bacon in Effingham, IL..........................because you'll still get ham. Farmer City, IL.................guess who lives here Harvard, IL...............not what you're thinking; thank God Loves Park, IL..............not a *** paradise Biggsville, IL..............not so big Red Bud, IL................regular small town St. Elmo, IL...............not where the movie was filmed Sandwich, IL...................I dunno Sparta, IL.................not in Greece Vienna, IL...............not in Italy Woodstock, IL..................the same as in the movie Lemont, IL...............where yours truly grew up!!
  14. They look "real purdy" Yabba!!!
  15. The one trip of mine back from NoDak that I've referenced a few times here was in temps of about 20*F. Twas roughly the same temp at home as when we left. We did have a 10-15mph NW wind blowing us home; but I was running the truck 75-80mph, and still got right at 21mpg. Just the truck loaded to the gills with 3 guys, 2 dogs, and hunting gear for 4 days. Just saying.
  16. My low fuel light just came on driving home from work today. Here's a picture for y'all.
  17. No, a small subcutaneous tracking device, so that when they find their way back to the rest of the Jihadists......................we can bomb them back to the stone age. Wait they're already living in the stone age!!
  18. In far southern Illinois there is a town called Dongola.
  19. Explain please.
  20. Here you go.
  21. I live just South of Richard Bong State Recreation Area. It's in SE Wisconsin.
  22. Still on the same tank of fuel from my above post. Just thought I'd add this picture for y'all. Took it whist driving today to go dog train. Shows the level left in my fuel tank and how many miles I have (at the time) on the tank!! Enjoy................I sure am!!
  23. The name of the town mentioned offends me!!! Stiupid kids.
