I still like shooting them. I was in the ravine a couple weeks back because the puppy had grabbed a chicken and had her down in there and I needed to teach the pup a lesson. Well, the widowmaker was only about 50 yards down in the heavy brush. Stu's method is still the safest. He's like my smarter, more cautious brother in the 'International Brotherhood of Obsolete Truck Tires and Wheels'. Of course he's Grand Foobah of the IBOOTTAW. Sorry for the hijack, and sorry they are widowmakers. Oh, and I have six 17.5 tubeless if you need them.

OK, I'll bite. I get the last TAW as Those Are Widowmakers. But what's the IBOOT before that?

So the question is, did he have the acronym correct? Do you include the smaller words? Could it also be, IBOTTW? On second thought IBOOTTAW looks better.

Yes, I saw his original, but thought it would be better to make it into something like "I Believe Others Observed That Those Are Widowmakers"

Are yours split ring type? I have 6 that are. They are on my 66 F350 and use 6 lugs. Mine even have good radial tire and tubes and I can't seem to be able to even give them away.

The whole running truck will be going on the scrap barge this summer.
Even the bright grill and custom cab trim I guess.

Wait a minute. Why are you scrapping a running truck? Is it drivable? Do you have pics? How hard is it to get it to the mainland?

I also thought it looked better with the small letters in there. Arctic, why not just shoot it and roll it into a ravine? You guys got so much land up there it won't hurt a thing!
