You sir, have a very discerning eye for tire boobles - I myself would tend to go off of feel versus looks. And that is how come I seemed to get randomly slapped in the face.... In crowded places.... Where I have to "feel" my way through....

Rusty I think I found the point of impact that caused the tire damage. I marked the 2 spots for you.

Sean, if you look closely, almost no real pair are exact matches. The ladies are very aware of this, I’ve heard many of them mention it before.

Bad Truck Behavior?

Anybody willing to confess to doing something a little "bad" with a truck, 6.0 or not? I'm not talking about running a granny over in a crosswalk bad... Here I'll go 1st to give an example:

Back in my 20s I played racquetball a bunch. Met a friend at our favorite club which had a parking lot and more convenient street parking. I had a little Toyota truck and got a prime spot on the street, last one before the red curb began -- left a whole couple feet behind and room for the guy in front to easily get out, say 4'. Finish game and come out to find new car in front with only a couple feet of room and a compact car behind, pulled right up to my bumper (he was well into the red zone).

No power steering and manual trans, BUT a super HD after market rear bumper... Guys I seriously tried to jockey back and forth several times, but I had parked close to the curb and couldn't get out, like at all.

I might have lost that day too, but I got ...

I pulled up to the front car, put it in reverse, rev'd the motor and dumped the clutch. Three times...

Very comfortably able to pull out of my newly lengthened parking spot

Went down and pulled a U turn, not to gloat, that was the way out and home. No head lights (left) or front turn signals, or grill, lots of stuff on the ground including leaking coolant, crumpled hood. He/she likely hasn't boxed a truck in (or maybe anybody) again. But he likely keys every Toyota he sees....

Man, I hope he's not a 6.0 owner now, like h-e-r-e

That's my story, anybody else?

Scott

Nobody, your a baaaad boy Scott , now go stand in the corner for 5 min,
Oh wait just remembered , I was about 14, took my dad’s 3/4 ton 4x4 out with out asking , my buddy and I lock it in and was wheeling fun , except the snow drifts covered the large boulders to keep people from entering the Lake, well yea we didnt see the rocks but felt something , on our way back home the truck vibrated , really bad , I coasted in the normal spot dad parked in and went to bed, it was about Ten years later that I told my dad what happened , he had a really great memory and knew exactly what I did, I twisted the drive line like a pretzel , just before he passed away in 2015, we went for a drive to the lake , he was a great hunter , awesome fly fisherman, he also wouldn’t let me drive that day, but he drove me to the same spot where we had crossed the rocks and we’re on the frozen lake for some time before we crossed again back onto the road, , life lesson and big laughs , we cracked open a beer sat on the tail gate and talked for hours . I miss my Dad
