    33x12.5x16 Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ run about $345 each, i've been putting off getting these tires for 3 years, but my pro-comps were baby butt smooth.

    I also forgot while at the pilot (i wish i had taken my video cam out had i known how long it was going to go on for i would have. BUT a hippy bus, a old cabover school bus painted primer dark grey, with the back half windows covered with paper, the back bumper extended 6' behind the back of the bus with a shelf stacked as high as the roof with bags and foot lockers and crap. They pull in and park next to the cat scale. 2 hippies jump out with hikeing backpacks all loaded up and proceeded to walk around the TS looking for a hand out (nothin new there right?) WELL then another one jumps out, goes to a side box on the bus and pulls out a 5gal gas can, and goes pump to pump asking for fuel, the O/O's were quick to tell them to take a hike BUT i did see 10-15 COMPANY drivers give 1-5 gallons a diesel to them, about 4 differant hippies took turns getting out and trying to get free fuel, 2 guys and 2 girls, sometimes they came back mt some times with 1 gal, sometimes full. They did this for about an hour, takeing breaks inbetween rounds then they all piled in and left. Oh and they had one hippy on a Dirt bike too, not sure why they didnt put there crap INSIDE and the dirtbike on the back of the bus but whatever. I just found this funny and ODD that drivers would just give fuel away like that....


    i should have at least taken pics :biggrin_2557:

    At- I've read your whole thread and been following you right along and glad to hear there are some good jobs out there in the industry. Looking to move to the great state of Texas so Lone Star works for me. Im sure you've answered this already but I don't remember from the 107 pages I've followed over the past couple months, but do the have apu's or idle policy?
