    I nearly wore my brake shoes completely down in the rear just using the stock parking brake in moab so I think a Hydro will work better.

    Also replacing useless radio in this truck (sounds terrible and car is so noisy it doesn't pay to have one) with a nice CB setup I think.

        People want way too much for used AT tires holy shit.

        $600 for 20% tread TSLs, $800 for off brand 50% treads...

          Years ago I actually gave away a set of (4) 35" BFG AT's to a guy with a beat Suzuki Samurai. Probably had 50% tread left.

          Apparently I did not know what I had.

            I don't think people on craigslist know what they have either, used tires are not worth 50%+ of their retail price. Age + Wear is real on tires.

            Really just wanted a basically dead set to see if 33s would fit on samurai.

              We just got brand new BFG KO2 AT tires at Costco for about $850-900 installed. Are AT tires made of gold in BHAM?

                The options I want are like 800-1100 for 5 installed, but people on cl with 50% tread ones want 800 its just lol.

                Im stuck between the Grabber X3 and the BFG KM2 now. Although it doesnt matter as there is no point buying till I buy and install YJ springs with missing link.

                  I wish, that set would be $1500 up here. I'm trying to offload a set at 70% tread for $600

                    Thought I'd show off my two other rides. My 2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and my 1997 Ford F250 powerstroke. The silver Jeep on the trailer is my dad's '83 cj7 with an SBC in it.

                      Uh oh, I may have a problem. ...new project just unloaded.





                      Been neglected for a few years, came complete with dead mice!



                      Whole new world for me. Lots to learn.

                      Filling trash cans today.

                      What you all know about rust repair and seat recovering?

                        Rust repair depends how bad, if there are holes you need a welder and a grinder.

                        If its just on the surface, a sander and a couple cans of por15.
