I hope I have this right.

Sunday February 21, meet at 9am at the Drinkwater Tim Hortons in Duncan. Leave 9:30am sharp. Expect some exploration where ever there is access. Please post up if you are planning to attend.

(I am wussing out on this one:meh:, have fun!)
 
I will not be able to make this one as well since i had already promised the family i was taking them downtown for the chinese dragon dance. Have fun i will be looking for a weekend in the beginning of march.
 
i think the old man is in with his 62 and i might possibly take my pick up out and see how that does...

Glenn, looks like you got your new tires/wheels - what did you end up going with and how do you like the 315s?
 
They are the 315/75/16 MTR with Kevlar (Goodyear 10% factory rebate on till Mar. 13). They are very smooth runners on the highway (a bit noisier) and brought my high range gearing back to the equivalent of 4.11s with 33s. It is a little early to tell but they run so much better on the highway - I think my mileage has actually improved. My cruising range is now between 2,000 and 2,400 RPM.

The Mickey Thompson rims I bought were suppose to be 3.625” BS, but as measured they were 3.75” the wheels cleared the callipers and TREs fine - but the tires hit the springs and pitman arm on full lock to lock. I had installed ¼” spacers and that stopped the rubbing on the springs- I will have to adjust the wheel stop to stop the rubbing on the pitman arm. They are a tight fit upfront – and there is no way to run chains upfront, without a small body lift, I think the back will still fit chains. I like the firmer sidewall of the 16” when aired down, the Truxus when aired down, wallowed around the corners in the gravel.

These are still early reports and I will let you know more latter, with more miles on them.

They look good Glenn. Bummer about the BS on those wheels though. I assume you moved your front axle forward a little?
That's likely my next tire size so it's nice to have some input on the different models out there. Have you had them in the wet yet?
 
Hi Chet - still got the Sidekick?
