Smile Fresh Meat(s)

Some of you may have seen my red '84 truck before. Here's a few pics with new 33 X 12.5 X 15 BFG AT-KO's, freshly mounted today.
I stayed with the AT's because of the factory siping and excellent snow rating. They are a little bit more aggressive than the earlier model AT's, and should serve my on-and-off road needs perfectly.









Of course, now my used BFG-AT's are for sale. Check the Classified section; I'll post pics of them there.

Technically, you're right...of course. However, back in the day, we would call tires 'meats'. That OK with you?

Smile Ha!

You don't miss anything, do you Corey?!?

That is a 2003 Camry sitting in there...with all of 5,000 miles on it.
That was my mom's car. It is one comfortable ride, let me tell you.

Hard to believe that's an '84. Good looking stance on those 33's!

I need one of those.
Getting 13 miles to the gallon and driving 40 miles round trip 4 times to work a week is killing me.

Smile 35 Mpg...!

Corey...Trudie just took the Camry to Spokane, and got over 35 MPG on the freeway...doing 75 MPH! It has an automatic transmission (of course), and the 4-cylinder engine. Plenty of power!
Pretty sweet ride.
Last time we checked her Honda, it got 39 MPG on the freeway. It is an SI model, 5-speed, and it hauls ass...believe it or not.

Lee, I'm glad someone else on the board has a 3rd gen that gets consistent mileage with me. Everytime I read a post and 3rd gen owner speaks up, they're talking about 18-20 mpg. I could probably use a tune up but there's no way a tune up will get me an extra 5 mpg. It also hurts that 90% of my drive is side streets and not highway (w/ highway, I can get close to 17 mpg).
