Help in Harrisonburg VA if possible. (1 Viewer)

I am attempting to transport Buster Brown from Harrisonburg (work apartment) area to Roanoke (home base) this Friday. Got the truck and a 2 wheel u-haul dolly lined up. Updated a bunch of mechanical and consumables but the gas tank puked rust throughout the system Monday night so my dream of having it drive home under its own power has vanished. Apparently the new 33" tires I purchased are too big for U-Haul straps. Any ideas, useful suggestions, or two tires I can borrow that fit a 1982 FJ60 that are 30" or smaller?

Thank you sir. Have been in touch with blue. He has 31" that may work

I simply doubled-up the straps length-wise using a second set of straps and steel quick links:

Zinc Plated Finish, Carbon Steel Quick Link 67785584 - MSC

You can buy these at any hardware store. Have used this type of set-up for years for my Land Cruisers with 33X9.50s.

Hmmm. Stopping by Tractor Supply tonight to investigate the quick links. Thank you for the suggestion.

Arrived safe and sound. Thanks for the help and guidance.

And just in time to receive a nice care package.

Sorry - out in Idaho at the moment. Glad you got it taken care of.

All is well. Buster Brown (Jonathan's old rig sitting under the pine trees) is at his new home adjusting well (sitting under sugar maples).
