Default Puget Sound/Seattle NW Area Riders Meet HERE!!!

What I really want are ITP Mud Light AT, but am having trouble finding a dealer that can get them in and mounted by Friday. On line, a full set of costs about $230. So, theoretically for about $30 more I can get what I want. Does anyone know a dealer in the Puget Sound area that carries the ITPs in stock?
check RMC they had a bunch of sets yesterday

Unfortunately that more than doubles the cash outlay (2 wheel rear combo is $260, 2 wheel front combo is $230). I just talked with Les Schwab and they have to order these tires and charge shipping to the customer --- that ads $50 or so bucks to the package.

.
No insurance, No liscense. He was stopped at the intersection of Hwy 12 & albany. I seen the firetruck comming so i pull off the road about 75' shy of the intersection. Dude thought the firetruck was gonna hit him so he gunned it in reverse and smashed into me... he got ticket for wreckless Backing, No Insurance and driving without liscense. around 1500 bucks on the spot
What an idiot! I don't get it why people drive around with no insurance or license's. Again sorry to hear about your truck.

I have a question for you guys and i'm hoping one of you can answer it. When i pull my trailer i keep blowing a fuse and i'm not sure why. On saturday when i pulled it down to Capitol Forest everything worked, brake lights, turn signals, running lights. When i left there i didn't have any running lights, but everything else worked. When i got to Renton i forgot about it and went to a haunted house, when i should of went home because my running lights weren't working. When i left Renton at 10, i of course remembered. I pulled over on the on ramp and popped my hood and started pulling fuses for the trailer. The ones that i checked weren't blown but the one that i couldn't get to was blown. Yesterday i pulled it with some niddle nose pliers and sure enough it was blown. Acouple other people have borrowered my trailer and they have never said anything about fuses being blown so i'm assuming that its my truck. Is it getting blown because its to small of a amp? Right now it has a 15 amp in it, should i go up to 20? This is the second time this has happened too.
I've had similar issues in the past with different trailers. A common problem is the ground or corroded connections. The last trailer I had to fix, I made sure the trailer was grounded well, then ran a ground wire to each light. Solderd and heat-shrinked all connections. Those crimp connectors get corroded pretty easy.

Before you decide to go that route, just make sure your pig-tail connection is clean, debris and corrosion free. Once you clean it, get some dielectric grease and coat the connecting pins to prevent corrosion.

The connections may have been corroded and the water from the rain may have been enough to cause a problem.

Life keeps getting more expensive. I can't find the Mud Lites in stock. So everyone is charging shipping and I'm looking at $310. I'm not sure it's worth an extra $100 + for the ITP tires.
