How's your work holding out?

Coombro - running M/C, yea I know they are...in my mind it's ok for running vertically in walls, down to light switches and receptacles, and for whips, etc...but that's about it, unless it comes down to the price game of how low can we go. But then the job becomes cheap and poor quality at that point in my opinion.

Tom - There's a lot of construction work going on out there at Fort Knox right now, military housing as well as commercial building off post. Glad you've still got a job to report to come Monday morning, and I feel for the one's who don't.

Splitshot - One of these days I hope to put a mild lift on my truck and get me some of those bigger tires, what are those, 32", 33"? I bet they cost about the same as both arms and half a leg by now don't they???

Chubminnow- yeah there's nothing wrong with m/c there's a right way to run it ,yet it's being slapped in on projects that are calling for a pull wire system. By the time engineer's catch up to it they go ahead and accept it as to changing it would put dead line in jeopardy. Then there's Ft. Knox where quality was top workmanship. Lots of the corps. guys are retiring and the younger corps. coming up the ranks don't seem to me to know what their looking at and the quality ain't there. Main thing at Ft. Knox is you have your florescent vest and safety glasses. That's just what I've been seeing the past few years. I do it right or I don't do it at all. We as master electricians do have a code of ethics. And workmanship is in the code book.

Chubbs, are you talking full blown suspension lift, like a 4" kit or bigger? Or just a 2" range leveling kit on the front end? If a full suspension kit, I would run 35" tires personally...otherwise I think they look like a roller skate. LOL With just a leveling kit to bring the front end up level with the rear, I like how 33" tires look on those. Cost really depends on what diameter wheel you are running, but yes...they are all pretty pricey now. I want to put a leveling kit on the front of my F150 and slap some 20" wheels with 33" tires on so bad I can't stand it...but even having "connections" my cost is just more than I can stand right now. With gas prices and the cost of the parts, I just can't do something too big and crazy for a daily driver anyway! Holler at me when you are ready and I'll hook you up best I can. You've only got 2 arms and 2 legs, right? LOL

I've had 33's for years and just put a new set on last year...BFG's AT no less. If you are patient, you can get great deals. I got a set of 4 33x10.50x15 for $600 delivered to my door. Another $32 to be mounted and balanced by the local Michel Tire shop. Keep checking around and you'll find the deals.
