Went last night and met up with a guy halfway between Minot ND and Bismarck ND to buy a set of factory 20s. Great shape and I got a great deal I think. They only have 8k miles and I picked them up for $850. Then I took the truck and wheels in this am to get the wheel balanced on the inside and had them put on. Man oh man it really changes the look and I feel it improve my ride quality. 20140423_122105_zpsopyyqlah.jpg

looks good. Rant incoming:

Bismark has some of the worst designed shopping/parking areas I have ever seen. I was in two different ones when I was there and both stretched for blocks but only had entrances or exits at the bookend intersections. You literaly had to drive through blocks of parking lot to leave or get to a resturant, while being a on the other side of a 4 inch curb from the main road the entire time. I guess many people there do badly with turning into traffic?

Yes the parking down there is the worst. And I'm telling you I don't think any North Dakota people can drive normal. No offense to any of you out there.

He lives in OK, he's used to it. I can say many people in Tulsa and OKC are some of the least attentive drivers, driving some of the biggest heaps on the road.

Does this mean 37s are out now?

not necessarily. I'm not losing but an inch or so. Won't look too much different but let's hope it will ride a lot nicer

I've thought about putting my stock block back in and cranking down to but I like the way it sits to much. I'd prefer it to have to lean if I changed anything

Iv been in over 36 states and the worst drivers I've seen outside OK are Arkansas and New Mexico.

    • Because that is IDIOTIC, much like this question. They've already been forced to do it by past administrations - why would you roll that back when it's a GOOD thing?  WHO IS ARGUING FOR LOWER MILEAGE???? 😂  NOBODY IS!!   I'm certainly not! What I want is RELIABLE vehicles again that are worth the price paid!    I don't get your logic here ...   In 2003 I paid $2,200 for our '86 Grand Marquis. It's STILL running and I've never been inside the engine, aside for the timing cover since it was leaking, so I threw a new timing set in since that makes sense. Transmission is ORIGINAL. Electric pump in the gas tank is ORIGINAL. Rear end is ORIGINAL. I'd have to hit my head REAL hard to want to pay $60k or more for a car that still can't come close to the comfort, seating and storage space, or reliability of this one. Nothing is even in the ball park! Hundreds of thousands of brands and models have been built and sent to the crusher while this one keeps on going!   https://postimg.cc/Z9XRrCSg   I've got a whole fleet of cars, motorcycles, and a truck close to this age for summer and winter. No one could pay me enough to buy anything built this century. I have zero use for any it.
    • Since I'm the one who has to fix them when they break, I'll take vehicles over 30 years old all day, EVERY day, over ANY modern crap. Have you attempted any repairs on anything built after 2006? It's a friggin nightmare, and gets worse the newer the model year.    If I had the will or desire, I can make any car of any age outside of a Model T (I don't have THAT much will ...) just as powerful, comfortable, and have all the tech the new stuff does, and get pretty close in mileage, too. I prefer SIMPLICITY. The less the vehicle has, the less to fix WHEN it breaks, not IF.   I'm glad you snot-nosed punks don't like them. More for us, plus that keeps the prices from climbing more than they already have.👍
    • Bringing this thread back on topic. I just noticed the incredible lack of bright chrome across the entire new lineup. Even the Denali has tinted the brightwork in the grille and has none elsewhere. None of them have chrome bumpers. As far as I can tell there aren't even chrome mirror caps. I'm curious if this also happens out back? Are there no chrome rear bumpers either? This is quite the departure for GMC.
