Paul, good to hear they work well in the snow...I haven't had a chance to try them yet in the snow yet. After getting the glow plugs resolved and whatnot, I may have to run up to Tahoe or somethin'...haven't been up to the snow in quite a while.
My dad was kind enough to cover the tires (and the front-end work) for me...came out to $161.99 per tire, from a Big-O at Quartz Hill in southern California, about an hour and a half north of L.A. on the 14 freeway. I still need to get a replacement spare...
George, once I get out of school and actually have enough $$ to keep fuel in my truck's tanks (and/or enough yard space to start making biodiesel), she'll see more road-time.
I'm going to wash the entire truck after I get the plugs done, and we'll see how she looks with Tristan's old hubcaps. But, no amount of washing will take away the few spots in the black paint where my uncle's step-dad wore the paint down to primer from too much waxing...she still needs a paint job. But, that's another "after-I-get-out-of-school" thing.
