Did a bit more work on the bumper. Got the rear frame channel caps cut out, then figured out I built one of the mounting brackets backwards. So the rest of the night was spent cutting the bracket apart and re-welding it in the correct orientation...



Also, I picked up this gem last week. 1966 Stevens M416. Original and Solid, just needs paint love.

Plan is a complete rehab, add steel bumpers & side steps, make a lightweight lid, and spring-over with 33s. I'll be starting a separate build thread for this project.

dukie564

yea i've been looking for a while now. Everything i found was in worse shape for 1000-1200.

I got a steal on this...just had to drive 3 hrs each way to bumble**** Virginia to pick it up.

cleenrob

sweet, what did you end up going with?

dukie564

i guess you'll have to see when they get here

I managed to get them shipped to my door for less than $200/tire (35s)

I'm gonna guess you got MTZs again if you only bought four

dukie564

i fail to see your logic

NewKindOfClown

That's assuming you have an MTZ spare and want them to match

Basslicks

My bet is on STT pros

NewKindOfClown

That'd be fun since we ran MTZs together, and I'm looking at the ST Maxx. We can keep being Cooper bros

dukie564

ah.

Well i still have that 33" KM1 I traded you for a Destination MT lol. That will continue to be my spare for a while.

And this time I stepped up to 35s anyways
