Yea, winter fuel SUXXXXXXXXXX
As far as what the stroker is gettin' for christmas......
It WAS to have been a set of babies and chip
............instead
it's gonna be $800 in tires, and I spent all day today doing upper and lower ball joints Those are stone ******** to do
Here's a tip passed on from my Jersey bud NJKen.........
Toss the new joints in the freezer and warm up the knuckle with a little heat.........
Ken
I should have it back running tomorrow.
Besides, I bought the white womans Dodge some new headlights
...Silverstars
and polished up the lenses as well. It gets REAL dark out here in Neckville
Now if I can just get that boost issue resolved................

Janet Reno? Holy Cow, I thought it was a picture of you
What kind of tires are you putting on. I just slapped on a set of BFG All Terrain KO's and I think it was right in the $650.00 range.

Naw, she's better looking!
I looked at them as those were what I had before but I couldn't find any 285"s less than $212 ea
considering last Oct-53k mi ago I bought them for $155 ea.
Wound up getting Wild Country XTX 285/75/16
Had them on my '90 IDI and got 50k+ out of them and they handle the wet clay we call grease around here pretty dam good!
Found a set of Nitto Terra grapplers 295's a local guy was selling
for $500 but they won't fit my stock alloy rims

295's are the biggest ya can squeeze onto the stock alcoa rims, ask me how I know;p ;p
Tried putting on a pair of 305's & they would not fit with any degree of comfort/safety.
THink I paid a tad over $800.00 for the BFG/AT-KO's & ifin I had to do it all over again, would look at the new Goodyear MT's. Have a friend who's got them on his Banks equiped Dodge and they really work well. The BFG MT pattern is not as "bold" or agressive & the sizes are not quite the same. While I liked the BFG MT's (285's) they just were not what I was looking for
