Can you send a link to those tires?

what he said^

Here ya go.... Tire Recappers | Car, RV, Truck and Commercial Retread Tires

I will add that while these are priced well, I'm not an extreme crawler. The sidewalls are pretty thin compared to a 200-300 Cooper or similar. Basically I wanted the traction for snow and blm driving I do. I figure if I get a good 1-2 years, I'll be pretty happy. These are the same tread, however one says Goodyear, another firestone ect... part of the bargain of miss matched walls. But I don't care!

As long as your realistic with these, and don't do a ton of highway driving, you might like them as a fill in till one can afford the next step up. (As in my case)
Merry Christmas!!

Looks great, would you mind sharing some of the paint details?

It's just primer I welded in passenger and driver rear quarter panels, welded in a new rear sill support and cover installed new body mounts in the rear. Bought the hardtop sides from cruiserparts.net cause mine were rotten. Now it's just time to enjoy until I can tear down for body and paint.

How was your experience with cruiserparts.net?

 

[nelsonjm624]

I know a few who have bad experiences with them, but I always ask for Mike Decker he's always done me right. If your military he"ll give you a military discount over the phone. So I can appreciate that.

Is the front clip still in original paint? It looks good.

Yes the front clip is the original rustic green, and it'll be going back to that here soon.

That's awesome tstepp920 I haven't met any cruiser heads here in N.C. yet. Hit me up next time your close.

 

[tstepp920]

Thx I will. I want to check out the upper panels. Weighing body work $$$ vs. buying some good ones

That's what I did man it was a great trade off saved a lot of time too.

Drove it, camped in it, bonded with daBoise in it, hiked from it and climbed mountains from it. No problems, technical or otherwise.

Hey Marc,

No, they're not... But, they are only off leash when the temperature remains below 50* and the rattlesnakes are denned up... The current temps have stayed below 40*, in some locales and below 30* in others... I'm much more concerned with Mountain Lions right now... Hence the .44 Mag.

Thanks Mike! It was a three dog day... The pit bull and the border collie are my Granddogs... The mystery man is me... Keeping my face warm... It was cold!

It was warmer in the cave...
