Kudos to guys in the venezuelan club depicted for having such a good time and sharing on their videos. I don't think I would let sea water even come close to the rubber on my LC!!

Justin's (aka my81fj) Combat Rig
Justin says (about the tires):
"They are 255/85r16 BFG MT (34x10) and they do rub the inside of the
rear
well at full articulation but not bad. These tires have been GREAT...
Quiet on the road and dig well off road. I treat the "Colonel" like a
pice of equipment/tractor but also use it as a daily driver (100 miles
a
day). Thanks to the 3B diesel it does not break the bank.
I have not posted the pic to IH8MUD but I have no objections... just
don't know how."

Sorry guys. That was a horrible notice. I will do better next time. Very nice to meet with you. beautiful cruiser, Larry. Awesome condition. I am about 90% for next weekend. Donny may come as well. He really wants to weld things for the rigs. We have talked about bumpers and such for years. Maybe Jude will come and we can bring his cruiser back to life in the future. After moving my mom from a 2 story to a 2 story I was a little sore. The ride home was a slightly torturous. Should be healed up for this weekend. Time to get in on some of this teal action everyone is talking about.

Scott, I left that finishing product with Larry. It works great on a buffer. Just buff until the surface is clean. You don't need to wipe off. Enjoy the work!

Thanks Isaac it was a good meeting with you as well, and I enjoyed the lunch and cruiser talk. I'm glad we were able to make it. Good to hear you'll make it next weekend and Donny and Jude are welcome. Rest well my friend I know the feeling on the 2 story apartments I've moved my brother twice and thats the first thing I ask did you get the bottom floor this time and the anwser is always the same no such luck.

Thanks much bud... I need a buffer!
Was awesome meeting all of you. Jude was having flashbacks I'm sure to me asking about his rig. I would love to bring it back to life.
Glad you made it home.
Later and thanks again.
