Dude I can't wait till it arrives. Already planning on a club invite to help out.. There will be beer.

I'll send you a pic of my rear frame, that way you know which rivets to grind and punch out for an exact fit. Other than drilling the holes for the 1/4 protection it should fit like a glove.

Paint is down and the 3rd coat is drying now. Will let them sit over night and tomorrow before boxing/crating up this weekend...

Mike the little box is for DaveGonz. All the hardware, spring pins, tire mount, etc.. is in the large box.

Great, gonna make Davegonz share the shipping costs . All this comes right in time before I start a new job. So next weekend will be the only free time I will have.


On a separate note. if you guys had the chance to either get the goodyear MT/R tires or the BF Goodrich BAJA ( Both E-rated) which one would you go for? Both are humvee take offs.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I hope its there before then.. NO word yet...

I would go with the MT/R I love that humvee tire...

J

 

[The Phoenician]

Yeah, I hate the MT (the ones I have) but have so far heard good things about the MTRs. And BF Goodrich is legendary overseas. It might just come down to cost. No hurry just yet, maybe in a paycheck or two.

 

[TRAIL TAILOR]

I like the tread pattern, looks like it would take you anywhere in any condition...

J

 

[The Phoenician]

Yeah, the issue with goodyear was their weak sidewalls. I agree with you on the pattern.
Speaking of which, the bajas look like the Nazi SS symbol.

HEIL CRUIZER!!!!
