#41 of 373 Hey Carl! by newquad Jul 01, 2000 (11:13 pm)
Just wanted to say hi to another fellow Bay Area person on the list. I live in Albany, but worked in San Ramon at the hospital there the last 4 years. Just changed to John Muir. Glad to see another quadder in the area!

#43 of 373 TIRE & WHEEL UPGRADE by pttaylor Jul 02, 2000 (5:31 am)
What size tires will look best (and not rub) on 15x8 split-star wheels going on 1998 Std. Cab 2wd SB Dakota (replacing factory 215/75R15s on 15x6 factory steel ugly rims!)
#44 of 373 RE: TIRE & WHEEL UPGRADE by tjump Jul 02, 2000 (11:54 am)
31x10.5 is what Dodge puts on the 15x8, I doubt going larger than that would be safe w/o altering the suspension. I have no idea if different tire designs/tread patterns would make difference, but they may.
#45 of 373 RE: Tire & Wheel Upgrade 2 by yooper_romad Jul 02, 2000 (4:21 pm)
On the two wheel drive go with a 235 75R 15. These are roughly 30 in tall and aprox 9.5 wide. The 31X10.5 may rub when at full lock on a two wheel drive as the suspension is lower and of a different design. Also 235's are normally less expensive and there are more options in tread patterns and load ratings. I use Goodyear Wrangler H/Ts on my two wheel drive Dakota, with real good wear. These are an all season highway tread (where I spend most of my time with this truck) and they work well in snow.
#46 of 373 Hi Susan by carls5 Jul 02, 2000 (4:56 pm)
Thanks for welcome. I am very familiar with both SRRMC and John Muir. Both are good hospitals, as far as hospitals go :>}}, with excellent doctors, nurses and staff. Carl
#47 of 373 Way to leave out your fellow CA Quadder! by quark99 Jul 03, 2000 (1:03 am)
Welcome Carl and Susan.........yes, I live in Brentwood CA (see earlier post on this board)....it's the Brentwood in Contra Costa County, not the So Cal suburb of OJ fame...lessee, about 10 air miles from San Ramon, and about 40 miles down Highway 4 thru Pinole and Richmond to Albany. I was born in Oakland, grew up in the "bad part" of Richmond, and finished out high school in Palo Alto, Mountain View, and Sunnyvale, so I'm definately a No. Cal kid. Nice to see a couple Bay Area-ites here on the members board! I'm always on the lookout on for fellow quadders on my daily commute down 580 to Hayward, so if you see a nut waving to you from a Pat Blue 2wd Quad, it's probably me. BTW, I also take the back way home occasionally, either up 680 or 24 to good ole' March Creek road, and sneak home thru Brentwood's "back door." Great road to "toss" the Quad around a little. Welcome!
#48 of 373 Welcome Skip by carls5 Jul 03, 2000 (2:29 am)
and sorry that we missed welcoming a fellow Californian. I'll be looking for you on the local highways. Keep your eyes pealed for me, be hard to miss my intense blue truck with a matching cab high shell and a grey haired old fuddy duddy driving it. Carl
#49 of 373 Meet your members Suggestion by bookitty Jul 03, 2000 (12:11 pm)
I have noticed that we are posting technical or mechanical items in the "Meet your members" topic. I feel that this topic would be better served by "sicking to the script" and posting technical and mechanical chat in the general or maintenance sections. Just a suggestion to help stay organized. Welcome all of you new and existing members. Bookitty
#50 of 373 Boo---we are all existing by quark99 Jul 03, 2000 (2:31 pm)
members. (I see dead Quad owners...) Sick to the script? That would be ralphing on cue? (Nevertheless, you make a good point...)
