Finally!! PAINT!!!! This is the factory color of my truck, Mariner Blue. It's a really nice color and changes with light. Sometimes it apppears lighter, and other times dark, almost black. Really a sharp color and it reminds me of a Ford color called Washington Blue that I've always loved. So with the wheels painted I thought I'd give it a whirl at mouting the tires with tubes myself. I know! At the time, that seemed like a good idea, but after the first one and a visit to the hospital (well, two..I don't remember the first one) I thought maybe I should let the pros handle it. But nothing ventured, nothing gained!!!! It's actually not very hard to do. Here's how I do'ed it. (Insert very southern accent here): Git you a tube, a tire, and a freshly painted reum. Shove that whaeel down in that there tire, then use them fingers and shove that tube inside. Now, take yer tire iron and scrape up that nice fresh paint, scuff yer fresh white wall, and right when there's all the tension on that tire iron, let it slip back and smack you in the snotter. Then crack you open a beer for a job well done!
