Hey John what kind of wheels are we talking about.

Hey Chuck: New P/U on new wheels. I have been a Chevy owner my entire life, but two design issues may force me into a Dodge Ram, which is not a bad choice at all. #1: Fender wheel wells that are essentially square and have absolutely no classy look whatsoever: #2: Placing the urea container directly behind the passenger wheel and below the frame. That is just dumb, in my opinion. I use the 4x4 function on my truck and that tank would be crushed in short order. So, unless Chevy wises up, they have lost my business.

Moved on to the next thing...
We are planning a possible trip to visit my brother in the Lake Tahoe area next summer or fall and may try to plan it around attending an HOC Rally.

Perhaps this rally is the one!

How far away is this rally from Lake Tahoe?

We'll be coming from Denver, Colorado.

Hi John, We camp at Tahoe a lot! We can leave the Reno/Sparks area and be at Lake Tahoe and set-up in 1-hour. Go roads to and from. We'd love to have you at the Rally in 2015. If you need any additional information, please feel free to post on this site or send me a PM.

John & Debbie, Looking forward to the new set of wheels. Sounds like Bob & Bo will have a new Bighorn at the Rally also. You won't be disappointed with the Ram truck.
