NEED 315/75-16 SPARE?

[LEANINTREE]

I'M GOING AFTER TIRES TODAY OR TOMORROW, AND RATHER THAN PAY THE TIRE GUY EXTRA TO DISPOSE OF 2 BAD TIRES AND 2 NOT-AS-BAD TIRES, I THOUGHT I'D SEE IF ANYONE NEEDED A 315/75-16 PROCOMP X-TERRAIN FOR SPARE. I'M CHANGING OUT BACK TO 285/75-16'S, SO I DON'T NEED THEM, BUT I FEEL ODD ABOUT BEING CHARGED FOR THEM TO 'DISPOSE' OF SOMETHING THAT THEY ARE REALLY GONNA JUST PUT ON THE RACK AND RESELL TO SOMEONE IN NEED (LIKELY OF A SPARE THAT IS THE RIGHT SIZE).

SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER HOLD YER PEACE...

If you did not live so far away I would take one.

[Walking Eagle]

If you still have a tire, find out how much to UPS and I'll send some money over before you ship.

Zip code here is 80216.

[LEANINTREE]

HOW SOON WOULD YOU NEED IT JEFF? IF IT ISN'T SOMETHING IMMEDIATE, I CAN HOLD IT UNTIL THE NEXT POSSIBLE CHANCE TO ROLL IT DOWN THE HILL...
DON

[Walking Eagle]

Probably mid March.

Im thinking if you had two extra i may take the other off your hands if you still have it.

DONE DEAL. (I THOUGHT YOU'D PROBABLY BE ANSWERING SOON;))

THERE WAS ONLY 2 DECENT ONES (THE OTHERS ARE TRASHED...BIG OL' BALD STRIPES...)

I'LL JUST STASH THOSE 2 UNTIL WE CAN MEET UP.

[Walking Eagle]

I may be coming through your area around Feb 6th, I'm taking a week off from work. Not exactly sure what I'm going to do.

[2000 xlt]

Sounds good to me. Let me know if i need to do anything. shipping or meet up some where some time. No hurry at all. Just good to have a spare.

Thanks again.

John

Don, out of curiosity, what is the approximate travel time between Denver and Grand Junction with good weather?

[mattadams]

If I remember right, about 4 hours. Sound about right, Don? Maybe 4:30.

[UrbanCowboy]

That's correct Matt, assuming you dont make any stops and generally go faster than the speed limit.

[Tray]

If you can get out of town before all of the ski bums, it's a 4 hour trip. Otherwise it can turn into a nightmare.

[LEANINTREE]

YEAH, WHAT THEY SAID. IF YOUR COMING FROM *MY* DIRECTION, IT'S BETTER (MOVING OPPOSITE REGULAR HEAVY TRAFFIC). GOOD CONDITIONS, NO SLOWDOWNS, AND IT'S ABOUT 4 HOURS. IF YOU PLAN TO LEAVE FRIDAY NIGHT/SATURDAY MORNING OR RETURN SUNDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING, IT'S ANYBODYS GUESS. LAST WEEKEND, COMING IN ON SAT MORNING, WESTBOUND TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER FROM EISENHOWER TO FLOYD HILL. COMING BACK ON SATURDAY NIGHT, EASTBOUND WAS STACKED UP PRETTY GOOD (AN AMBULANCE COULDN'T GET THROUGH). SUNDAYS ARE WORSE EASTBOUND.

[UrbanCowboy]

If you really want to cut down on the time, Go on Christmas Eve around 8pm. There was nobody on the road. :lol:

[Tray]

As long as you don't go on Friday night, or Saturday/Sunday mornings, it's a pretty easy drive.

[Walking Eagle]

When I take my week off starting Feb 7th, I may waste a couple of days taking a ride in the mountains. Don, what is your schedule during the week if I wanted to stop by and pick up the tires. If I pick mine up, I'll pick up John's at the same time.

[LEANINTREE]

7-5 WORK (M-F),
EVERYTHING ELSE, AT HOME. I'M BOOOOOOORING. JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN AND I CAN EITHER MEET YOU OR BRING THE TIRES TO WORK THAT DAY. EITHER PLACE IS LIKE 5 MINUTES OFF THE INTERSTATE.
DON

[mattadams]

Just go to the Wendy's, thats where I usually meet him! LOL.

[2000 xlt]

That would be awesome Walking Eagle if you got it for me. I'll have to buy you a 12 pack or something. Let me know what you like...

Thanks again

john

[LEANINTREE]

MAKE SURE IT'S SOMETHING SKUNKY AND STANKY THAT'LL MAKE HIS TOUNGE TURN BLACK AND LOLL OUT OF HIS HEAD... THAT'S GONNA BE THE ONLY WAY WE'LL GET HIM TO SHUT UP ONCE IN A WHILE...

GEEZ, YOU'D THINK THE 'SUPERGLUE-CHEESBURGER' WE GOT HIM TO EAT LAST YEAR AT BANDIMERE WOULD'A DONE THE TRICK, BUT NOOOOOO....

:kick: <----- BOY EAGLE, YOU'RE GONNA HATE THAT MATT GAVE ME THIS EMOTICON TO USE... :upto:

LEANINTREE

[Walking Eagle]

Don, I'm planning on coming over on Tuesday. Anytime after 12pm will work me. You let me know what time and place is the easiest that works for you with your work schedule.

If Tuesday does not work, any other day next week is good for me since I'm taking the week off. Except for Monday, I'm taking the truck in to see what a little modification is going to cost.

[LEANINTREE]

TUESDAY THE 8TH? IF SO, DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE HORIZON DRIVE IS OFF I-70? I WORK IN THE AREA, AND THERE'S A FEW PLACES WE CAN MEET (LATE LUNCH?)
WHAT DO YA LIKE, BURGERS, TACOS, PIZZA, VI???? EITHER THAT OR I CAN JUST GIVE YOU EASY DIRECTIONS TO MY WORK (EASY EASY AND 5 MINUTES FROM THE HIGHWAY)
DON

[Walking Eagle]

I'll just stop by your place of work on the 8th.

[LEANINTREE]

ALLRIGHTY THEN...

GET OFF I-70 ON HORIZON DRIVE EXIT
TURN NORTH
SO STRAIGH UNTIL THERE'S AN A-10 FIGHTER JET ON STICKS IN THE ROAD.
TURN LEFT (WEST) ON 'H' ROAD
FIRST BUILDING ON THE RIGHT THAT SITS NEAR THE ROAD. LESS THAN 1/4 MILE.
GO TO THE FRONT DESK. SAY 'PAGE THIS M*****F***ER"
EZEZ...
DON

[mattadams]

dont forget to ask to see osme of the cool 3-d toys! :).

[Walking Eagle]

I made it back, the weather was fairly decent. Ran into a little snow at Vail Pass and the Eisenhower tunnel. The only bad part was my driver side window washer stopped working, so I played hell trying to see.

Thanks Don for the tires, and remember it's an A6 Intruder from the Marines.

John, I have your tire, we can work out a time or wait until our next meet?

[2000 xlt]

Ok sounds good walking eagle, Thank You Again for picking that up for me.

Thanks again Leanin tree

JOHN

[LEANINTREE]

NO PROBLEM GUYS. SORRY I COULDN'T INVITE YOU GUYS IN, BUT IT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ANYTHING SPECIAL... WITH MY OUTFIT OUTSOURCING MOST OF IT'S CURRENT MANUFACTURING, OUR FACILITY IN GJ IS PRETTY BARE OF ANYTHING INTERESTING. :roll:

BTW JEFF, HAS ANYONE EVER TOLD YOU YOU'RE A TOTAL WILDMAN? DUDE, YOU DROVE *8 FRIGGEN HOURS* FOR NOTHING MORE THAN A COUPLE OF NEARLY DEAD TIRES... :confused:

DON

[Walking Eagle]

Besides driving 8 hours for two tires, my dad also bought me a nice steak dinner on the way back. Plus saw some nice scenery, it had been awhile since I had been past Copper Mtn. Also, with almost 150,000 miles on the truck, I like driving. Oh, I was also advertising the club name by showing off the RMFTC banner and Matt was going to pay a dollar per mile.

[mattadams]

will you take a two-party, out of state, bad check? LOL
