glad you're happy with the rig chuck, i knew you would be. and i'm stoked to see it go to somebody who really enjoys it.
the knob on the ebrake handle is for cable adjustment. should be fine right now. try not to drive off with the ebrake on. that's a great way to wear them out.
not sure about the plug, post a pic.
as for tires and rims, i have a set of steel split rims but they're at a buddy's place in TN. yours for free if you want to cover shipping them to you. like i mentioned before, i'm not a big fan of split rims.
i think 16" rims with 34" slinnies would be the way to go.
a soft top in seattle? you're funny! i've spent some time up there and know all about the washington sunshine. it sure consists of a lot of moisture.
last but not least, we've seen plenty of pics of the troopie. how about more chick pics?!
good times.

Agreed.
I'll get lisa, lori and liz (the misses) to pose for me. Post em up monday.
As far as tires, I may have to try 18 inch rims. The diameter of the 33x 12.5's on there now is about 32.8 inches. a 235 75 16 is around 33.2 I found a smart tire guy at a goodyear shop here. He's looking into the tallest skinniest tire we can do.
However i did notice that even with the 33's on there now turning hard left does rub on the steering joint.
Hmmm 35', possible but my left turns would be wide in deed. May help remind me since i need to swing wide on left turns anyways....
good thing is i had the 33's alteast balanced. i can do 60 now with out soiling myself...that left tire was, oooooooooofffffffffffff....
more soon.

Series Land Rover. 900x16 tyres were a standard feature and these machines were commonly used by utility companies
This tyres would fit your 45 too.
They are real tall, saw a Landrover some weeks ago with such tyres.
I drive 7,50x85x16 / 7,50 inch wide in mm =190,5mm
235x85x16 / 235mm wide in inch = 9.25 inch
255x85x16 they are tall as the 900x16 I think.
....tall enough for me
Cheers
