Those damn 20's get pricey. I need to put another one on the back of the truck. I had one get a nail in the sidewall in August, and had to replace it. I'd like to at least get the pair the same mileage, need to do that this next payday. Damn tires are 365 a piece!

I have Mickey Thompsons on the truck now. I didn't buy them, my son did when he had the truck.

I run the same Goodyears that came with it from the factory. They've worn really well. With religously rotating them at ever 6K, I got 60K out of the last set.

Steve GG 11-01-2013 09:48 AM

That is good. I have another set of wheels and tires in the garage that may go back on the truck when these tires wear out.. Which may be pretty soon since he didn't rotate them when he had it. I got them rotated and the front end aligned a couple weeks ago.

I need to look into new shocks also. Not sure if I'm going to stay with the Ranchos, or maybe go with something like Bilsteins for it.

I have Ranchos on my truck.. Changed them out about 60k ago. The originals were slap wore out.

67nukeford 11-01-2013 10:00 AM

Mine are gettting worn. Been holding out as long as I could, but it's time to change them. I need to start pricing them out.

Every so often you find a buy 3 get the 4th free..

67nukeford 11-01-2013 10:19 AM

Yeah, I'll have to keep my eye out. I'll have to ask around, and see where guys are getting them.

Steve GG 11-01-2013 10:30 AM

I probably should look for shocks for all my vehicles. They are all getting long in the tooth..

67nukeford 11-01-2013 10:40 AM

I want to get them done before it gets too damn cold, also!

Steve GG 11-01-2013 10:43 AM

I will wait until next spring before i even think of doing it. I may have a hole in the garage so I can do it inside by then.

67nukeford 11-01-2013 10:49 AM

I should have my new heater in the next few days, so that will certainly help. I don't work in the cold-period!

Steve GG 11-01-2013 10:56 AM

I don't have a dedicated heater in my garage. I have several portable electric heaters though and a diesel/kerosene forced air heater and a kerosene space heater.

67nukeford 11-01-2013 11:06 AM

This one I ordered is a portable, 240V electric forced air. It'll work until it gets really cold. I just need to hope for a warm winter!
