GJ!

sounds good. yah, definitely doing the work at your own pace is better than letting someone dictate your day. plus, you know it's done right the first time.

If I had a car to haul it out there maybe... I'm gonna just leave it on the front curb and post a craigslist ad to come pick it up. I can pretty much guarantee it'll be gone within an hour or two of posting.

@ your haboob (hungry) dog.

yah, when i have appliances, i just put a note on there "works, free to take home" and usually by morning it's gone.

Well, it doesn't actually work, so I can't say that. But usually when I put a FREE sign on something, no one takes it. I've found the best way is to put a sign on it that says $50. Someone is guaranteed to steal it that way

so tirerack told me just now the RE11's are backordered for 2-3months.

and no longer available in 285/35/19 size.

Yup! I just don't trust myself to screw into the bumper and not fudge up something else.

it's really not that hard to do. just slap the pieces on with mounting tape first, then drill 2-3 holes per piece on your set, and screw in.
