Here....

old guy · 05-15-2017, 06:47 PM

Took on the tail this am, roads were virtually empty

When I rolled thru Fontana village ( am staying in near by Alcoa ) there was only one Z in the lot a 2013+ gun metal w/ a big 95 on the door!

Me wife loved every mile of it as we rolled down to Robinville and back out!
Wished I could have stayed around for the fun and run..... But, we were there!

Guys enjoy, be safe and have fun!

5am tomorrow we'll be back on the road and home in Mich. by 3pm.

Yesterday. I was getting the Z ready for the trip. Jacked it up. Changed oil and filter. Grease the swaybar bushings. Pull the tires off to change brake pads. Installed my YellowStuff pads. Look at the tires. The rears look good. Look at the fronts and crapped my shorts.

Have cords hanging out of the very inside edge of both tires. I knew I was getting close, but not that close.

I had ordered PSS 295's last Saturday. Today, go the the tire dealer. Said he is having a time getting them. Told me that they are being discontinued. He can get them, but it may take a week. So I changed the order to the new Mich Pilot Sport 4S in 285/35-19. Guess what? They will be in this Friday. Not good. Go back to the house. Pull the rear oem wheels and tires out of the basement. Load the rims and tires in the truck. Jack up the front of the Z. Remove the front tires, and load them up in the truck. Go back to the tire dealer. Swapped the oem 285/35-19 tires for the old PSS's. So now I have 285/35-19 Yoko's on the front, and 345/30-19 PSS's on the rear. It should be an interesting drive to the Dragon.

Rusty,
Glad you had the spare oem's to cover you for the trip, it would have sucked if you didn't

Enjoy my brother, be safe!

That was plan B. Plan C was to turn the tires around on the rims so that the cords would be on the outside.

Plan D was to take the Grand Cherokee, which would suck.

That's what I'm talking about, a man with a plan ( actually about 5 or 6) but yeah you're going

Me and Mark (whiteZ34) hooked up. We bypassed that bus fire. Heard it had traffic tied up for hours. When you was behind me. I was to make that turn, but my Garmin had a serious brain fart.

It told me to go straight. By the time I realized it. It was to late to make that turn.

Mark took us around the fire with his bypass.

Thought I needed a rally car on some of those roads.

Too low, and not enough suspension travel.
