    You have a great looking set up how do you like the big bunk? By chance can you tell me what all you have in it and does what does your drive run off? Also do you have a 2 burner setup as well?

    Pelican for dinner must be a Kiwi thing if you wait til Tuesday Spyder will show up too. I guess what happens in the big bunk stays in the big bunk.

    Dude you aint right. Blair cut his visit to Florida short so we met up for lunch at the red onion in lee fl. He injured his wrist so had to head home.

    I didnt ask how he hurt his wrist, but i have my suspicions.

    I know. Maybe I was dropped on my head as a kid or bashing it while working on equipment and being exposed to all kinds of fumes have done me in.

    Hope Blair is okay.

    You might have jinxed him.
     
    blairandgretchen and spyder7723 Thank this.

    Getting 2 new steers on as i type this. Truck had 11r22.5s on it and going to low pro.

    A big benefit off being leased to a carrier with some buying power. These tires will be more than 400 cheaper than if i had to buy them on my own.

    Dang, what are you putting on it? I know we get a good discount but $400 off? They must've inflated their price. Lol.

    My 8 new Yokohama lugs, mc2 or something like that, 11.245 cost me just under$2400, mounted,equal, sales tax plus $12 a tire fee to the company and with the sale of takeoffs. I think that was a fair price.
