Washed my truck today and got an idea. Took the tires off my van(H2's) and put them up on the truck. Whatcha think? They are 35's. Yes, a leveling kit would be required, but I do have a spare set of unused H2 tires and rims laying in the shop.........

Looks good man, however.... If you get better fuel milage, I say go for it, but with Diesel at 3.40 a gallon, I'm hurtin on fuel costs these days, especially when I'm averaging 3k miles a month. And I think you drive more than I do... :roll:

I know, I know...but DAMN :shock: , dino-oil up here is only 3.19. This is why I make sure I fill up before I venture down into da beach with its 3.60 BS

bet yall would be pissed to hear that mexican diesel was $2.50 a gallon and actually ran a hell of a lot better in the dmax we were driving...give us you tired, weary, weak, and we'll make gas prices higher...so why are we paying $3.40???

Nope, I run normal low sulfur #2 thats still readily available up here. The stations up here with USLD are 3.50 to 3.60.

And also tell me why diesel in the US is a dollar higher then anywhere else in the world, including europe which is strickly USLD??


If I can find a reliable source for constant cooking oil, I'm going to start making bio again.

This is so true. The stockers are drivning me crazy.

I did notice something odd yesterday. When I took the stock tire off it actually felt heavier then the H2 setup. Maybe because the OE wheel is steel and the other AL...I plan on weighing them tonight on the scale for FYI sake.

There is a guy on base that put them on his Dodge. He kept the H2 centercaps and it looks weird. The Dodge center caps look good though.

Be careful though, I forgot where it was or where I read it, but some guy was making biodeisel and got fined big time from his state because he wasn't paying fuel taxes.

The only way they can tax you is if you make more than your allowed or storing more, and selling it
