So I ordered these wheels for $112 in a 16x10
And these tires for $174 in a 305/70R16 10ply for my DD.
Want to get some milage out of the tires, plus now my current 33s in the mud tire get to go on the wifes IH pickup.
Also can't wait for the bbq!

Pretty sweet package. Should get a little more mileage with them compared to the MTR's. I would still like to put some 35's on, but I've been getting rub with my 32's while flexing the front. They rub on the spring. I guess I can't complain since its wheeling pretty good for only 32's.
Here's on that rubbed a bit. This is that off road course I was telling you about. It will twist ya up a bit.

Did you take her out wheeling? I still haven't seen that rig in action. Or is this still from memorial day weekend?
I'm not sure yet if I have to work the morning of the bbq. If I do work I wont be able to make ribs, but could make something that doesn't take as long. If I don't work I can still make whatever you need.

This has been an ongoing issue with it running like poo, I putthe carb on that motor maybe 5 years ago, and ive never cleaned it.. It managed to get almost plugged solid on one needle and seat, and a metering rod was stuck also.. I'm waiting for some backordered gaskets to show up, along with a high flow intank fuel pump so I can see how it runs with a clean carb..
how late do you work?(if you do) I'm thinkin whatever food you bring will get eatin.. sounds like the valleyball net is going up, and of course alway a spot to sit.. thats my plan
I have a big old freezer I'm layin on the deck and filling with ice as a cooler so ther will be a divided area for peoples booze.

Well if I do work It would be until 130, and the girl would get off around 230. So plenty of time to get out there and all but not much time for anything I would need to cook beforehand. So if I do work I could always make scalloped potato's the day before and reheat them once I get there.

About 5 to 6 hours total. Prep, dry rub, and sitting time 1 hr, slowly cook in the oven for about 3-4hrs then grill for 45 - 1hr on charcoal grill. And it takes up a whole oven and grill. I'm actually going to make some Sunday so I will get a better feel of how long.
