YAY! That looks awesome! Nice work.

Fixed up a Shappell S4000 ice shelter I got for free. Used an entire roll of gorilla duct tape for the tears and fabricated new tension poles as the originals were either broken or missing. Looking "functional". [emoji41]

That's where I'm at right now. My previous experience starts gnawing away at me to "BE PREVENTATIVE!" :biggrin:

Stood in the garage and took in the smell of the new Nitto's I had put on. (Gotta love that new tire smell....even after a couple of weeks.) Then hopped in my Subaru and went to work.

Sitting at work TRYING to find something to do. Budget for current project (web development) cut and waiting for next project to get funded. Ugh. :no: So, I just browse GMTNation constantly.

I remember the last time I had to change brakes on my 2002 Taurus (It's gone now) the guy at O'Reilly's said that the factory rotors were basically "pot metal".

WOW! :cool: Until I bought my TB I thought pad/rotors was a <50k requirement!

Yes they are 255/60R18. You have a good eye! :biggrin: The Michelin Latitude Tours I was running had 63k+ miles and were hovering around 4/32...so, yes...basically slicks. :yes:

I'd like to say thanks to everyone who pitched in with ideas and advice. I appreciate every post. I'd also like to note that the UBJ clearance was 1/4 inch on BOTH SIDES with the Nitto's. Go figure. :confused:

Ok....Got the Nitto's on after work today. Before... After... Before... After... Saved my ass on the way home too!! Some jacko swerved into my driver door to avoid a fender bender and the combination of new tires and my lightning fast reflexes avoided a nice little collision by mere...

Cube farming it and reading every post I can get my hands on at GMTN. ALSO!!!!!!!!! Tires are in at DT. Having them put on today after work! :thumbsup:

Stood in front of it and contemplated replacing this..... With this....
