New Tires
 
I picked up my Michelin XL 11.00x16's for my Jeep project. These things have some serious tread and they are heavy as $h!t. I cant wait to get some wheels made and get them on the chassis.

No, it wasn't me. The Jeep won't be road-worthy for a long time:cry:

Service Tire finally broke down one of the military split rims for me only to find that these things have an inner solid rubber run flat device, tipping the scales at ~125lbs. They weren't quite sure how to remove it so I had to use my backyard engineering skills.

Almost like the tire was built around this thing...

Also, I finally got some solid floor and rocker panels welded into the Jeep cab
