Hey fellow Michigander, I know the feeling, "Happiness is a warm engine" The guys from GR area had a good week! How's freedom 21 and Steve from Saranac coming along? Still want to do the pic of flatfenders at the Bridge. Congrats. Joe W

bolted tub down so I could figure out my saginaw swap. New joints in my drive shafts, and got them installed. Brakes are all bled out too. I like it better as a jeep instead of a pile of parts!

I'm thinking of going with 32 x9.50 swampers, the town and country's there are around 28 ish inches by 7 ish...i think the 32 would be about right. Had a 33x12.50 laying around I test fit...umm yeah...no way
