Ok thats an easy fix on that. Those twist in blub connectors sometimes lose contact. fix is to change the blubs housing.

Just ordered 4 new rock crawlers to match my old ones from discount tire. They had them for 90/each. So I said we'll that's ok 4wheel parts has them for 67$ each. I couldn't remember if that was right or not buy they said since its the last day of the month they'll go ahead do that price with out verification. So point of this story, if you want new wheel go to discount on the last day of every month lol.

Ill be using the best looking from the batch Klare gave me to mount the spare.

P.S. my old rock crawlers are still for sale.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

What are the wheels you dropped off at my place

[TxPlates]

Those are the ones Klare gave me. Kinda beat up so I got new ones. I needed a 5th so I bought 4 new and like I said ill use the best looking one out if what Klare gave me for my spare tire. Not a bad deal I got on the wheels.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Oh ok well Ill take the other three if you don't want them for the limited sas

[TxPlates]

You're more than welcome to the other three.

Discount has always had a we will match any price deal. However they couldn't touch the son in law deal I have.

Juggling more fur balls than a constipated cat.

[KF5ZXT]

Well god damn, share the details of that set up!

[TxPlates]

No kidding!! What deal could he get on the wheels?

[TxPlates]

Well I received the foam and leather kit to redo the center console lid. I'm not impressed. Oh well, I'll give it a try anyway when I get the trac back.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

Why didn't you buy the $50 one for redline goods that's the one I have in my mounty and it's very high quality

[TxPlates]

This was cheap, thought I'd give it a shot. Never know may work, we'll see.

Becky's dad is a tire dealer. He mainly handles tractor tires for himself and the surrounding farmers. Basically, the community needed a tire dealer after the COOP closed. He found me some Goodyear Forterras. I have to shred some of his fields to pay them off. It is a win-win for me. I love driving big ass tractors and I have new tires.

[TxPlates]

Well I can't field so I guess I did ok.

[TxPlates]

Well I called Discount Tire on Friday to see where the hell my rims were, and they were like oh um they haven't shipped. I said well it's been two weeks and no follow up from you guys so cancel the order. Response, oh well let us check on it Monday and call you, I said ok if they're not here Monday I want my money.

Monday - no call. I called them in the am, spoke with the dude I had ordered them from and he was like oh well I'm sorry let me get that refund taken care of and I'll call you back in a few minutes. 4 hours later, no return call. Called again and he was like oh I had told someone to do that really sorry, is there anything I can do to salvage this deal. Me - nope learn how to keep customers informed and return calls when you say you're going to.

So I'll use paint the ones Klare gave me and buy a spare to use, or look for a used spare.

[KF5ZXT]

Amazing how this shit keeps happening to you.

[TxPlates]

Indeed, I can't figure it out.

[Kris Guilbeaux]

I normally say it's karma but you have no reason to have bad karma
