Progress Thread Hoopty v2.0 - It All Snowballed

[General karthief]

Tell y'all something I learned a long time ago, now the first set of tires I replaced on the dump truck would not hold a balance and at some speeds with a car on the back it would bounce, just a little but noticeable, my friend at the shop told me to get them trued, he showed me when he jacked one set off the ground and you could see they were not round, once I got them trued they were smooth as glass. Works the same for them big ole bucky beaver ground grippers or street tires like above.

Yeah that's not bad at all. Hopefully it still that low in a few years when I need to get new tires.

Did it a year ago. Definitely take it slow the first week even if you feel good. After 3 weeks I was pretty much 100%

Pfft... I got fixed as soon as my youngest turned 1 (per the wife's rules), He turned 12 two days ago. I had a frozen package of peas on my junk for the first evening, but then was able to perform the next morning (carefully). BEST DECISION EVER!

Make sure you use up any live rounds still in the magazine before you get to the blanks!

I Had to take in a " sample" to the HOT nurse at my Operating doctors 30 days later to confirm no " swimmers" .......
37 years later I have to say no regrets on my part....
