    ...and took a few pics of it with the new tires. I think since I have no vinyl roof, buckets and console, it has road wheels and it's a GS, it benefits from having OWL tires. If it was a more luxurious version of the Riv, I might have stuck with whitewalls...

    I have it power timed now and it's running sooooo well! (Thanks Larry70GS)!!

    Greg Schmelzer What are you looking at?!

    Sorry about that, Frank!! :Brow: We came home to a week of sub zero temps, so don't think you have it too bad.

    Incidentally, as we were leaving Temple behind Phil, we noticed that one side of your brake lights weren't working. Can't remember which side, though. Thought you might want to know.

    By the way, that is a beautiful Riv. You cna't even see the bungee cord!!! :laugh: :Dou:
