Don't do that. Go on Summit and look up US Wheel Company. I'll be buying my wagon wheels from them, and they're only $50-60ea. No adapters. No spacers.

Tetanus vaccination is good for 6 years. I've had five of them in the last ten years cause the Army doesn't know how to maintain records.

As for the Jeep, I was driving back roads cause it was a nice day, and a damn deer jumped out halfway through a turn. I hit the brakes to slow down, but my tires locked up on the gravel, and I went sideways. Rolled 1.5x, got out without a scratch, and used the insurance money to pay off the XJ and buy my Comanche.

ouch...suckswhat a deer can do. i would say fix it but it looks like ur unibody is beyond repair. did u save anything from it?
yeah at the time my tetanus vaccination was two years expired.
How did those Destination MTs work on ur Comanche? and any opininion on Wrangler Mts? i know they arent good in mud at all. but they are better then street baldies i have on now.

Parted out what was left. Had Duratracs on the XJ and loved them. Unstoppable in snow, ans no trouble with the little bit of mild wheeling that I had a chance to do.
I have Destination M/Ts on the MJ now, and I love them. I got them used from another member, and dukie564 also likes them. My only complaint about going to a bigger size will be losing these. When I buy 35s, I'm probably getting Treadwright Guard Dogs.
