Woke up early and brushed/ cleaned the tires... Also made a "marked up" ad on CL... I may keep em or flip em depending on market.

I saw these on craigslist and just picked em up. Barely fit . Had the door ajar light the whole way home... Thought they were 33/11.5/15 but they are 33/12.5/15. Couldn't beat the price. Gunna see about mounting and clearance issues..lol theres more fender there to make the radius sharper- Mackadocious916

Today I dropped her back off at the shop who did the brake bleed. They had quoted $60 for brake adjustment, and e brake adjustment. I then got in mail $25 off, and "next time you stop by free oil change" text, so combined both and got all that for less than $40.... So glad I did because for some...- Mackadocious916
