Check truck miles to know the difference between the trips.

That comparison is actually pretty cool. 

Tire is toast. 3" inch chunk out of the sidewall.  I have insurance on them for full replacement through Discount Tire so I will only be out the cost of a new insurance certificate($50) and the time to dismount and mount.

Discount doesn't know how to mount or balance a tire worth a crap but I keep going back for that certificate. We all do dumb things at some point and good thing you have it! 

Clark and I ran pretty much the exact same speed, if anything i was a little faster at times and he was a lil smoother. My truck is KN cold air, Smarty Jr programmer set on tow mode, recirc delete, straight exhaust with factory cat still, on Sams factory 20s, and i sat it back down completely stock for the trip. No check engine lights or trouble codes. IMO the tires didnt make a huge diff except on the power side, the mileage actually went down turning more RPMs at highway speed compared to the 37s believe it or not, i was shocked for sure.

I was told by a manager at DT that the certificates are only good for 3 years.

Don't think I've ever owned a set of tires that long. :)

Thanks I guess. I  don't know about fearless. I dont think I got crazy on anything this year. You better have some fear of these rocks, cause they can jump up and bite you in the ass when you are least expecting it. (see pics of Clark in Moab couple years ago. No disrepect intended).

Two afternoons of cleaning and finally all the dust is gone.  The inside was nasty.

He did ask if I wanted to upgrade to the Platinum package.

Jared's long sleeved shirt might have been toasty, but he probably didn't get sunburn there.

Yep... I take my wheeling dress cues from landscaping crews. Long pants, long sleeve PFG shirt, gator around my neck and dumb looking floppy hat. Throw some sunscreen on what skin remains exposed (face, hands). I’d rather be a little warmer than have my skin being burned!
