Nice ! Wish my Willy's MB could do that that good.
Right now. I can't even drive it anywhere.
Though I was able to confirm it runs ! Sort of.

[ferp420]

i love the look of those old military style tires i want to pick up a few sets but i dont think they will keep vary well out here

Shizzle, you like them? I took all mine off I have 10 total. 5 balck from the Jimny and 5 od green or whatever color the 1/6 jeep wheels are. The wheels are designed a bit different between the two tho.

I like the skinny's too though -- can get surprisingly good performance from a tire like that -- I safaried in Tanzania some years back and all the tourist rigs out there had similar skinny's with just two cut lugs per side of tire they were cut ever other though rather than parreled lugs -- I was shocked at what those tires can haul ya thru (while hungry lions look on) makes it a tad unnerving!

We did get stuck once and someone had to get out to hook up chains to the other lander -- yikes we were in leopard country where ya don't even get to stop for a quick potty break
