    Thanks everyone for joining in on the journey. The boxes we picked up at the Coca-Cola distributor were syrup (Diet Coke and Coke Zero Sugar) for our soda fountain machine in Orion. We used to get them here when we volunteered at Yellowstone so were hoping that we still could procure the flavors. Sondra was getting low...dangerously low!

      Shelf life on those BIBs is too short for domestic use, unless you're drinking like 15 oz a day, which means you've got an addiction problem.

      Thanks, John. We do it for our travel memories and because of great people like you that have an interest in this lifestyle. We always said that one of the core tenets of the channel would be to give back to the RV community and help to answer/show others their own path to RV travel. So many have given of their time when we had questions during our research phase that we felt a pull to do the same through the channel. We sincerely appreciate your time watching the channel.

Love each video - this one resonates with me, since new tires are on my must-do list before Wyoming winter hits, though nothing like what it costs you. Glad you found a good place to do the work.

    Last August, 4 days into our month-long western trip, we had a flat tire on our 5th wheel while staying at a Harvest Host farm outside of Rapid City, SD. We were headed to Billings to stay all night with one of my childhood friends and her husband. Dave took Linus to the other Stanley Tire location to have them repair the tire and change out the spare. They treated us like gold!!! Great people there!

    I separate my tires into three categories: Steers, Drives and trailer, and I replace them on different schedules with my steers being replaced at the highest priority. Also, some heavy duty tires can be out of round from the factory which makes them hard to balance. The fix is to have a shop (a reputable one) shave them.

    for soft ground for your landing gear, make some 1.5 to 2 foot square sandwiched plates out 2x4's in the middle with 1/2" plywood on both sides with rope handles. Its cheaper than the Wrecker. Oak Slats from old pallets will work instead of 2/4s then glue and screw

      That steer tire is similar to a dump truck tire size.18 k lbs capacity.
      The typical otr tractor is 12,000 lbs a little less. But 6 thousand is typically the rate for 3 axel brand name tires.

In California from les Schwab tire center for the outrageous price of 5,200 dollars. Next time I'm going to Montana. Love your channel thanks for all the great work putting out the content.

    That's actually a very good price for 18 tires. I'm sure going to an independent tire shop saved some money. A couple of months ago, I took a trailer to one of the big truck stop shops to replace a tire (sidewall damage), and the bottom line was around $800. A roadside tire change from a blowout can go over $1000...

    You caught a wolverine on camera crossing the road! Wolverines have a very characteristic walk and gate - they move fluidly and quickly - on longer legs than a badger. Badgers are close to the ground and ‘waddle’ when they move. Wolverines are dark brown fur color while a badger is a mix of grey, black & white fur color. While admittedly a very rare sighting, wolverines populate the state of Montana, especially in the western third of the state near water sources. Over thirty-five years traveling throughout Montana I’ve seen three wolverines but I’ve never captured one on camera. Your wolverine sighting was quite unique and very fortunate!!

    So impressed you got such a good deal on 18 tires! Very savvy shopping I honestly thought it would be at least $10,000 .
    Loved the beautiful spring and that beautiful water.
    Happy to know you are safe on the new tires. Have fun till next week 👏👏👏👏👏

    That’s pretty wild getting the tires that way, but I would do it too. I want all my tires (four) to be the same age. Plus that Missouri Breaks place was cool. I love finding the head waters of rivers and looking at maps of the river basins. Sooo interesting.

    Having been in the tire business for almost 40 years, tires are an “O’ Shi#” purchase. People are rarely enthused to spend their money on tires. As I always told customers, just remember tires stop your vehicle!

    • @bigtruckbigtravels
      @bigtruckbigtravels  Місяць тому +2

      Yes and they keep it rolling! Never fun to shell out that kind of cash but it's worth it in the long run... so you can keep running! 😆 🤣

      As an otr operator. I replace my tires just above half tread. Never had a tire issue since I owned my truck , up to 120,000 miles a year. If I had a trailer I would definitely have a trailer tpms system along with plumbed air system to the trailer tires.
      I get a great price when selling and get new tires at full tread for maximum water slush snow dispersal.
      Side note as a company driver never had debris pop a tire under 8 32 nd tread thickness.
      Measure tread depth weekly to check for upcoming suspension weak to resolve allignment issue before it eats a tire or tires.
      Safe travels.

Thank you for the post sharing what you picked up at the distributor we were left hanging on that one! More beautiful scenery and boy David sure can find the places to boondock. He and my guy Gary would get along famously, both Google Maps folks! Tires may have been pricey but they sure are important! Another very enjoyable video, we will catch you next Friday morning!

    Hopefully the more aggressive tires wear decent for you. When we ran otr trucks years ago our trucks that ran lighter loads went through them like crazy, they didn't have decent wear patterns. Our trucks that stayed heavy all the time did better, the tires didn't cup the tread. But they were nice in the dirt, snow etc.

    Glad Sandra got her soda fix. Nice price on your tires, open shoulder should help if you end up driving in snow ever. If the tire has the 3 peak snow rating you would not need to chain up if you ever did get caught in a snow storm in the mountains. I think you guys avoid snow pretty good though. If the picture of the wolverine turned out good the State may like it, some state have a web page for reporting the more rare animals in the state. As always enjoyed the video very much, stay safe and healthy.

    All things considered it seems like not a bad deal on that many tires. I try to put the truck tires on the trailer when they wear down most of the way and then let them age out on the trailer, by then the truck already needs new tires so the cycle starts over.
