Hoods69BadBowTie · 05-28-2011, 02:13 AM

Yea I know how that goes I need some new 33"s on my truck not looking forward to shelling the cash out of them. Oh well gotta do what you gotta do ya know!

loudnlifted88 · 05-28-2011, 07:57 AM

^^yessah... but i guess its gonna have to wait because i lost the rear brakes in my truck and my other truck has a spun rod bearing

89chevsj · 05-29-2011, 12:01 AM

sounds like murphy's law has hit you hard! Hate to here about your stepside though. wait, why not switch engines out and drive the stepside again, itll definately be better on gas anyway.

loudnlifted88 · 05-29-2011, 08:42 AM

because i already got a new motor for my stepside just gotta put it in

benoit454 · 06-02-2011, 03:50 PM

same here and I'm 26. gonna have to either sell my truck or sell my fourwheeler to pay bills and such, wife's car needs tires, truck don't, wife's car is better on gas then the truck by a little bit.etc.

ChevLoRay · 06-02-2011, 05:48 PM

Oh, to be 19 again....or even 26. I wouldn't care if I had to learn everything all over again.....

I just paid $650 for 4 tires, mounted and balanced and filled with nitrogen. I feel like I got out fairly cheap for a set of Geolander HT-S, OWL 245R70x16's.

It's all relative, but since gasoline is 10 times what I had to pay in '65, I'm glad tires didn't follow that markup. If that was the case, the tires I bought in '65, would have cost me almost $1400!! And, that was for 4 tires from OTASCO.
