They are getting on Justin and I, bad side. First they always seem to strip the lug nuts on his semi (log truck).

Then on Friday just didn't work and was getting us ready to go to Moses and decided to go and get his tires rotated. We drove over to Moses and on the way home i drove. Well Monday Justin went up to town with the boys, and he heard some weird noises, when he stopped he got out and checked his tires. He has a F350 so he has a 8 lugnut tire. There was ONE, lugnut holding the tire on. The rest were gone completely gone, no studs so no lugnuts. He had to leave his truck up town because he didn't want to drive it home. The next morning him and his buddy put his truck on the car trailer and took the truck to Les schwab. Needless to say they had to pay for the new studs and the lugnuts. We had to wait all day long for the dealership to bring them over to les schwab. I'm just glad the damn tire didn't come off when i was driving home with the camper on.
I guess what i'm trying to say is, if you get your tires rotated, changed, etc... make sure your lugnuts are on properly. I know when i get my tires rotated, (in the next day or so) I'm going to be watching every move they make.

Scwab stores are like a box of chocolates....you know the rest of the story [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
Jeff and the Arlington boys have always taken care my families needs. The first time they fail me, ole' Jeffy and I will have a closed door meeting.
Having worked for Lester (the north bend store), I know the routine the tire techs should be operating by. When that system breaks down, it get ugly behind closed doors.

OFC commented that all the LS stores are not equal. We have been dealing with the store in Goldendale for about 40 years and never had a problem. Matter of fact they have saved our a$$s on a number of occasions. One thing I will assure you, if you call the complaint number in Prinville things will shape up. I suspect the lug issue on the logging truck will be resolved promptly as well.

Momentum is everyting when your lacking in inches.. you gotta work it harder. pound it, slide over it, whatever you gotta do.. Full under armour is neccesary cuz swerving to avoind objects in the way is unnacceptable. Bounce over it and keep it pegged. capitol forrest is a 3rd / 4th gear show if im gettin busy. other wise 2nd gear is still plenty to run away.
