I'm able to pull it up through my web browser just fine - might set it to my home page.

My thought was the convenience of checking messages without having to go through the log in process, etc. It occurred to me after the fact (while I was driving around in the truck actually) that I could set it as the home page... this was also about the time I realized that you've really got to zoom in on a small screen to be able to click the correct link within the thread lists. :-)

Also, it was a pleasure meeting Bill today. He's as pleasant in person as he is here. Nice dog too. :-)

Dunno about Firefox, but I'm getting default pop ups everytime I read a new thread or search forums (this jazz started today). It's gotta be an FTE glitch, cuz it's not occuring elsewhere.

It was good to meet you as well, Rob. Boey loved having a playmate in his own yard. I plan to get ambitious today and throw those wheels on the truck. Thanks for making the trek down here.

hahaha, I've got to be in the truck in a few minutes - but I'll get one for you today. I've been a bum about posting pics. (Instead of going to play with truck stuff, I've got a family function to head to - so we'll see how well a Droid posts pics to the forum.) :-)

I thought about getting the camera out, but Dozer and Boey were not going to slow down long enough for a photo-op. He's a cute pup, and got me longing for a second dog again.

Speaking of cameras, my wife ran off with the Nikon this morning, so I had to shoot these with my GPS. Anywho...

Before, 17" steel.


After, 18" Aluminum.


They cleaned up nice. T8R obviously takes care of his gear. When I went to check the pressures, they were all within 2#.

They look good

Are you going to run the tires that came on them or do a switch-a-roonie?

I think I'm going to run them for a while, and maybe switch back to the Rugged Trails for trips where I will be offroading. Between these and the old ones I can avoid buying tires for a year if I'm lucky. Which will be helpful, because I have to pay for a wedding this summer. I have no budget this year.

Quite a few people on the site are having this issue, but it seems kind of random as to who.

You use Ubuntu/Linux, don't you Bruce?

It all seems to be pretty random.

That's right. Since my last post here I noticed that firefox is claiming credit for blocking popups here.
