Just spent way too much money for a set of 20" BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A's.
Goodbye fuel economy.

I'm quite sure that whatever you make for a living could be had for a much MUCH cheaper price if I had a kid named "Korean muther fuckin Champman" also known as Kim making them...whatever it is you make. Pizzas? lol

My last set on the Chevy last 75k Mike's with no blowouts on the side wall and had get traction in the snow. Loved them. What I have on the diesel too and they're holding up tremendously.

Wife bought a Toyota and part of the deal was I get free car washes from now on. They gave her dealer plate covers for my truck and that's how they tell who to give the free car washes to. They do it for all the cars they sell and somehow she talked the guy into a set of covers. Sweet. That Arkansas mud usually takes me ten bucks worth of car wash to get off.
She got a nice lookin car too. Low miles. Brand new tires. Clean history.

Ahaha no. Had nothing to do with her choice.
She did well I think. Got a '14 Camry LE with 30K miles. Appears she got a lease car just as it got two years old and was about to be 'pay by the mile' on someone. Don't know but it's clean compared to the POS she was driving. In a few years it'll be my turn again. Mine only just went past 80k tho so it might be a while. Hell I'm running on the original spark plugs still. :lol:

I tell you what if I said "go get me a new puppy" right now I think she'd be on a quest. She's been asking how come I'm not asking about a puppy. For several dog-generations I've been getting a pup at or around when my working dog is seven. That gives the adult some time to work with the pup and show it the ropes. Don't always work out tho. We'd just got Milo when his predecessor Buddy got sick from that dog food scare thing and croaked. He was one heck of a rabbit and pheasant dog but sort of sucked at waterfowl. Maybe it was best that he not train Milo.


Congrats to the new puppy owner. Sweet looking baby. :thumbsup:

Whoa. Them tires....the $1200 ones. Walmart. (rofl)
Their records show that we never came and got the tires so they put the amount charged back onto our card. (free tires!?!?)
Oh I deserve it after the two shitty days I had with them but somehow I bet they'll straighten it out on Dec 26th so I better not spend the money again. It's tempting. That's almost TWO used Beretta shotguns worth.

My 2002 Suburban was over 226 k miles, needed rocker panels and doglegs done. Got one side done but cold weather snuck up on me. Last week a local used car place I have bought several cars from had a 2004 Yukon Denali. 128 k miles, and absolutely no rust anywhere. Crawled under it and the frame doesn't even show any surface rust. It was a consignment car so I know the dealer didn't spend any money on it but it is just about mint except for a couple of shopping cart dings.It also has the 6.0 motor which will come in handy hauling the Grady White up some of those long hills. My biggest problem so far? When I tune in my favorite classic rock station it tends to jump to one close by. Next week after deer season I will pull the stereo out and clean and tighten all connections.

Have found that the 6.0 in the Denali's is a world of a difference from the stock Vortec 5.3 in Tahoes/Yukon's etc. for boat towing. We pull a 23 ft bay boat, it's fine behind my Tahoe with the 5.3L but dad has the 6.0 and it's like it's not even there. Sounds like you got a good deal to last a while

I got $100 Cabela gift card from Karen's mom for Christmas and I ordered an auto inflate PFD. The cost was always an issue but that excuse was now gone!!

Those are much more comfortable and out of the way, but I have always been concerned with "what if it doesn't inflate" when I hit the water factor. If you test it, will it go back flat for you afterwards? Is there a gauge showing whether your CO2 cartridge is still good? If you test, and it works, is replacing the cartridge easy? How wet do they have to get to work? Will getting caught in a heavy rainstorm trigger it?
