Craters of the Moon, Idaho! Cool.
Yes, Idaho was certainly a surprise. Some beautiful parts of that state and I just barely scratched the surface.

Yes, I did, temporarily- it’s a bit of a story.

I removed the flares because the rubber piping failed in a few spots…AGAIN. I bought some better piping and was waiting until I had time to install it and put them back on.

I was kind of liking the look without the flares, so I procrastinated and tried buffing out the wear lines left by the flares - it didn’t work and so I procrastinated some more. I finally put the better piping on the flares a couple of months ago but waited to re-install them.

I had a shimmy that started at about 120 km/hr and my extended warranty was about to expire. I wanted to make sure it was the tires and not drive-line related before the expiry date so I removed the wheel set and put my OEMs back on. This is why I didn’t re-install the flares - the truck would have looked funny with deep pocket flares and the factory wheel setup.

It was 100% the big, heavy tires, which was good news. They need a road force balance and the tires have to be on the truck so they can get warmed up on the drive to the tire shop….so they say. I will eventually do that but I am having way too much fun with the fuel economy and get-up-and-go of the current setup.
Parked next to the Mississippi River in Anoka MN.

They follow me everywhere! Went to early vote this morning and as you can see there's a whole empty parking lot. I was in there for 15 minutes and they roll out another dumpster near me. ?‍♂ At least they left some space between this time.:inspect:?

So we are now being told.
Is that an upgrade or downgrade from being a "deplorable"?
Sounds like a downgrade and wish I could say what I'd really like to! :lipssealed::mad:

Parked next to his new little brother. (I know I’ll catch grief over this- but I like my Hyundais also?)

I’ll post a better pic once my running boards are put on Friday….cause you know I need them.?

Yeah, ya’ll would be ashamed of me. Took my grandson to the orthodontist yesterday morning & the way I parked, I just about didn’t make it out of the parking lot. Took quite a lot of maneuvering.:shock:

Good thing since half of us are garbage. :rolleyes::punch:
My Mom gave me a lot of good advice growing up. She always reminded me that "You are known by the company that you keep." What a wise lady. Still applies today.
