New Tires!

YAY! I just got new tires today! They are 37 inch Super Swamper TSL's, and they are really cool! They just barely fit under my truck with the 4-inch lift. I also got some new wheels to go with them. Pics up soon!

Congratulations on your purchase! I just got all new tires on Friday too ($700). How much it set you back?

Well, they were $600. They were used though, with 2,000 miles on them. Original price was $800, but Les Scwab (sp?) dropped them $200 because I also had to get wheels. Les Scwab is pretty awesome. So I literally got them for half price, and they are in excellent condition.

If I'm not mistaken, half of $800.00 is $400.00, not $600.00. Is there something you left out or did your calculator let you down today?

Well, either way you put it, that is one heck of a deal. I am still glad I got my tires, my truck rides so much better, and they help - because I don't have shocks! Not to mention, it feels like the truck has more power...no more bias ply tires for me...

Oh, I forgot to metion that a new pair of these would cost $1300. So I even got them for a little more than half off. Sorry about that.

I've made my living for 20 years writting and debugging computer software. I look for mistakes in computer code and fix them. I'm afraid it carries over to my personal life too. If I see something that don't make sense to me, I naturally got to ask about it. I should probably quit doing that.

I have spend lo these many years working with a rather obscure operating system called (of all things) Theos, which stands not for the greek, "god", but for THE OS.

It is a multi-user, multi-tasking OS and before Windows was even born and Al Gore invented the internet (insert evil grin here) I was using Theos to connect two dumb terminals to a Radio Shack Model II computer. At that time it was called Oasis.)

I use Windows XP Home edition to connect to the forum, but I think many of the members here know more about that OS that I do.
