    Well, first of all it is more "humid" out there than a scuba dive in Hot Springs Ark.
    The tires were ALL low with only around 25 PSI per tire so I had a "Woo Hoo moment" and for a second I thought I'd 'gotta flocky' (no that's not a dirty word just one that us kids used, back before dirt, to mean Got Off Lucky). I put 36 PSI in each, crossed my fingers "ouch", said a prayer and backed out. &%#&%@ she's still rubbing and it's at the front passenger side top outside fender well lip. Yes, I did have a passing thought about getting a 2x4 and a fulcrum but didn't so it's probably off to the shop I go at sometime if I can find the time.

    I did also notice that the Cragars were showing some surface brown stuff and we don't put salt on the highway down here. So that's my afternoon project but I want to wait until it "warms" up some more.

    Roger, you could have hit that proverbial nail square on the head with the BBros idea.

    thanks for ALL the input, Y'all,

    Em (it's time to get out of this hobby)
