Sure. Or that might be a great place for a small extinguisher.

Sean,
Thanks for the info on Milo. Regarding the tool kit & jack, watch ebay. I have picked up a few kits on ebay that were not too bad on the check book. The tool kits from 40 series trucks built in the 60's and very early 70's are very well equipped and are expensive on ebay, but the later production trucks have a smaller kit and they do not command the same price.

Good luck

I like the look of skinnies, but I don't know what their advantage is over 10.5 wide tires. Is it more of a preference / MPG thing, or do skinnies work better on mud / rocks / hills / roads?

i can only think of two things that could possibly be better with 9.50's vs 10.50's. one would be tire clearance. i've read tons of threads about whether or not 33x10.50's rub on a stock suspension. some say no, some say yes. i thought i'd go the safe route with 9.50's.
two would be that it is a little easier on the stock power steering pump, easier to turn, etc. when i 1st joined mud, i saw landpimp's 62 with 33x9.50's and loved the look. i don't do much wheelin' with my 60 so it drives on the road nice. just my $0.02
