Cowboy was waiting on me when I got back from the powder run and instructed me to get the show on the road.

Looking good. What size are those tires?

255/85-16

The new “tall skinny” we all used to love. The Yokohama’s measure out 32.5” x 9 on a City Racer 16x:5 wheel. It’s a perfect match.
 
Does anyone make a decent set of jump seat straps? All the ones I get from the usual aftermarket are s*** and fade and fray in 6 months

I've been working on a set of straps that should be pretty near indestructible. If you have a couple weeks I can get a set out to you. Consider it a donation... Black, OD or Natural?
