This tire shop owner posts info & road force balancing videos on different tire brands. He thinks those Nittos are the best AT tire available.

Door weatherstripping advice. I’ve got replacement weatherstripping that mounts in channels across the top and sides. Is any sort of adhesive needed there also? On the bottom there is no channel, but the door bottom has holes for what I assume are those T shaped plastic clips. The replacement...

Part number? What is the specific purpose of these?

Those Kenda’s are what’s in the photo w the darker wheels above. I mounted the ones we put on the Saltwagon 40 for that photo. I had hoped to just run those on the 55, but those wheels are riveted, and they would not spin due to interference w the brake calipers.

I think Johnathan said the 16" wheels came off a 40 series South American import. The guy was doing a restomod and had plans for something big and flashy. Flashy isn't our mode. I like the look of the old steel wheels. I'm also not a fat tire guy, and haven't found as many 16" tire options as I...

My son found a set of Toyota 16” steel wheels w clips on Facebook marketplace, so I’ve got those to replace the split rims. I mounted the 235/85R16’s and 33/9.5R15’s on the 55 just to get a visual on tire sizes. I like the 33’s better visually than what’s currently on it, so I’m thinking...

Rear view: No clips on the wheels, it had hardware for attaching hubcaps Rear: Front: No manual hubs. Clue me in on the pros and cons of that.

More photos: It's been repainted but supposedly in a factory color. I haven't searched in depth but found one reference to color 276 being Bronze Olive. Factory Aisin seat foam retainers: The seat support was not good, so my quick fix was to pull the seat from Rusty as a replacement. It...

Intro post for a '79 55. Had a '71 intended for a long term build, but I just haven't had time to dig in deep. My son @theglobb had also pulled a '76 (we will call this one Rusty) out of the woods near here that we picked up for little $$. Came upon this '79 that appears to need much less work...

Robert, I put the Saltwagon wheels and tires on to check sizing. 33/9.5R15 Kenda’s. Wish I could just keep them on but the fronts don’t rotate. Looks like front calipers don’t clear the early 40 wheels.

Picked it up recently. I'm just not an online guy, so struggle to keep a build thread updated. Had 2 55's as a long term project to make one decent. When we go this one, I traded one of the project 55's to @Roastchestnuts . I'll look to start a thread soon - help from the experts will definitely...

Robert, I'm trying to figure out tires also. Stuck some 235/85R16s on Saturday just to take a look. Expecting this 2" lift to settle a bit. And I've got adjustments on the front that will bring that up about an inch to lessen the stink bug stance.

And the hand crank !! Teach the class starting with that.

@PIP Any idea if it will fit a left hand drive HDJ80? Would you need a photo of the clutch petal?

Meguiars #7. Somehow "rehydrates"? the paint molecules. Google it. Lots of info
