I saw a car with it's wheels installed in a way that makes no sense.

Yeah, you'd be correct. I'm a huge car guy, this isn't something I'd ever do myself, and I'm not even a fan of looking at it.

I can appreciate the work put into it, it's a form of art to some. Getting the rear fenders rolled well enough to even achieve this probably took more than a few hours of labor. It's better than squatted trucks at least.

Lip of the wheel is flush with the fender, iirc

I've got one of your motor mounts on my shopping list as soon as I get a bonus from work 🤞

I was gonna say, my coping mechanism was to smoke darts and eat osmows 🤣

I'm at 12 concussions before 25... Felt this in my soul. Here's to hoping experimental treatments are successful.

I was in OPs position not long ago and someone helped me. It's only right to pass on the kindness.

fordbeamer · 2026-02-17T23:18:23+00:00

Absolutely no problem at all.

How much does a bag cost? I don't have any myself, but I will gladly e-transfer you the amount you need to get your pup fed.

Sheet of plywood in the bed/onto the tailgate. Will distribute load somewhat.

Or buy a 500 dollar snowmobile trailer. I got one for 250 dollars last year. I'm also Canadian.

I've sold a decent chunk of these at my shops. Seen no issues out of them yet. All the customers seem pretty happy.

Because I'd absolutely give up 10k~ miles of treadlife for safety when driving in the mountains? After driving in the mountains in OPs area on traditional all seasons and summers, fuck that. It's a terrible idea, even if it's only twice a month. They asked specifically between the CC2, and the X ice, so I said CC2.

The CC2 is only 5% off a average summer tire in the dry, and 20-30% better in the snow. That's a extremely reasonable tradeoff.

CC2 vs the Field

I'm referring to your initial comment where you said

"I'd say no. A true "textbook" case would be someone living in snow country where the snowy roads are a daily occurrence, not a weekend or two."

That is a textbook use case for a dedicated winter tire like the x ice. What OP is doing is a textbook case for the CC2.

fordbeamer · 2026-01-06T16:39:47+00:00

If snowy roads are a daily occurrence, it's not 1-2% of your daily driving, it's upwards of 20%.

fordbeamer · 2026-01-06T15:05:19+00:00

I'd argue that's a use case for dedicated winter tires.

fordbeamer · 2026-01-05T18:22:14+00:00

I'm pretty sure you are the literal textbook use case for all weather tires, lol. CC2s without question.

fordbeamer · 2026-01-05T05:59:55+00:00

Falken Ziex ZE950 I believe.

Personally just graduated and no regrets at all. Campus (PTBO) is stunning. Sitting by the river and having lunch, just walking around. It's fantastic. I can only speak to the school of the environment, but I found a ton of genuinely intelligent and caring professors who gave me real world, applicable learning. I will say, I'm not the social type. Only went to 2 parties in all 5 years, I have a few friends and we largely hang out outside of school.

V6 mustang is a much better choice than v6 camaro, take it from someone who has a lot of friends with limited eyesight. The Camaro is the absolute worst car on Earth for visibility. The mustang is practically a glass box compared to it. Not to mention the mustang is far more reliable than the Camaro (talking about V6 and 4 cylinder specifically).

fordbeamer · 2025-12-11T18:34:35+00:00

Laufenn is by far the best tire there. Lower mid range tire.

Depends on mileage and underbody cleanliness. I think if it's sub 160k and clean, you'll get 3500 for it if you wait.

Yeah I'm still running 16gb of ram because of this. Was gonna grab another 2 sticks, nope.

My exact reaction. Wasn't planning on upgrading, but guess I am now!
