Default Help out a Fellow Jeeper

So Defiance665 went to all the trouble of trying to go2 walmart to get his 31s installed and they wouldn't be 1 of them is legally bald, but better than what he's got on it. He can't exactly afford to go buy new tires and the ones he's driving on NEED to be replaced


I have a spare BFG AT 31x10.50 laying around my house that I'm willing to give him for free, but I don't have the money to ship it b/c of lacking in the job department. So I decided I'd start a thread to ask if a few fellow Jeepers would be willing to step forward and donate $5 or so apiece so I can have the spare tire shipped to him(not sure how much it'll cost but I expect it to be $20 or less). I could care less if you donate $1 or $10 anything helps. He lives somewhere that getting snow is common so having a decent set of tires is a must.

You could do a daisy chain, it's a lot of fun! Works like this:

You put everybody on a map and see how many people are in between the two locations. Each person does some driving and totes it all the way there one driver at a time. It's a great team building exercise and is a lot of fun.

I heard about this in the hot rod world and it gives people a chance to drive for a purpose and meet some of the other Cherokee owners.

Just a thought.

Actually, now that I think of it, moonshiners did this all the time back in the day......that's how NASCAR got it's start, not to mention John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, and Al Capone etc.

I mean, if you wanna run logistics on that then go for it, but i'd be wayyy cheaper to just ship the darn thing Via UPS or FedEx

Fuel is expensive. UPS would be much cheaper.
