Happy day after Father's day! Sounds much better than Happy Monday right?

Steph, how much your stock rims can be sold for will depend on your area, and how much a buyer is willing to pay. If your rims look brand new, then naturally, they will have a better chance of being sold for close to the new price. However, I don't know the demand for stock wheels, so I don't know how close to that price you can go. (not much help am I? Sorry)

A little more if you include tires with some life left.

Agree, I picked up a set on CL with 10K of tread left for $40 each.

It wasn't bad Sunday AM, got there in plenty of time. After 13 hrs in the air, I was rewarded with some YanJing beer.

I'll try to share something a bit more cultural on the next pic...

Ya I did a search and found a few people selling OEM ranging from $125-170 each...will probably just be getting tires and no rims for now.

I have been revamping my advertising campaign over the past few days. What do you guys think of these?

I would lose the word "cheap". Maybe replace it with "affordable".

And you need to add that you haul away politicians for free too.

Don't make it so affordable you don't make a profit!

Unless it's junk you can turn around on Ebray...

Back from Huck Finn's Jubilee out in Victorville. The trip out and back was "uneventful", which is just the way I wanted it!

A four-day weekend of good Bluegrass and Country, capped off on Sunday with Larry Gatlin and his brothers.

Steep Canyon Rangers on Saturday night was probably the high-point. If you haven't seen Nicky Sanders play Orange Blossom, you haven't heard it played at all! A girl turned to me after it was over and said, "How can you ever describe that to someone who wasn't here?"

For an example, see:


HTTP://WWW.youtube.com/watch?v=MHm2RDyAy48
but he was FAR better than that!

Lesser-well-known acts (to me, anyway) kept the air full of reasons to tap toes all weekend.

The rest of the time we either ate, drank a few brews, or pitched "Washers". In our camp, besides our trailer and a motor home, we had two fifth-wheels arranged with awnings meeting in the middle. Shade was augmented with EZ-Ups, so despite the temperature approaching a hundred, the breeze kept it pretty comfortable. You just wanted to pick a spot out under a tree near the stage during mid-day.

The TST-507 pressure monitoring system is a WINNER! It really sets your mind at ease about the current status of the trailer tires! It checks both pressure and temperature, continuously cycling through all of them in about twenty seconds. I intend to eventually add at least two more sensors for the truck's rear tires. I sincerely believe it is money very-well-spent for those folks that tow!

Morning SoCal!

Gonna be another HOT and HUMID day here in North East Indiana and still NO RAIN on the horizon!!!...the 4th of July fireworks are in jeopardy as we are under a burn ban due to the very dry conditions...we'll see how they enforce that...

Pop...I have a monitoring system for my TT tires that I have yet to install...there are sensors that screw onto the valve stems and then I have a device I plug into one of my power points that shows the status of the tires...I don't think it cost more than $50...but I haven't towed much lately...but we'll be leaving on a 4500 mile trip in a couple of weeks through North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming and South Dakota...I'll be installing the sensors before that trip!

Have a great one!

Joe.
