I run 37×13.5-17 Cooper SSTs on my truck, with basic 17" steel wheels. They knocked a ton of weight off the truck, but they're definitely not what I'd consider light.

They'll insure special interest vehicles even if they're not 25yo. I'd give them a call and see what they can do.

1997

I have mine titled through Montana under my llc. My title says AM General on it, with the model being 1097A2. I don't think it matters that much. As long as you have the title in your name and have it registered, it's all good. I use Hagerty insurance, and it's very affordable.

Mine took about 2 months to come in. They never updated it on the site, it just showed up one day in my mailbox lol

Took it for it's first trip down Rt95. Did very well. Maintains 70mph pretty easily, and no weird vibrations or any pulling. I've put almost 200 miles on it the last few days.

Little update: I've taken the truck on a few short trips, but today I took it on a 70 mile journey through back roads and farmland. It performed flawlessly! Cruises at 65mph no problem, doesn't get hot, and doesn't seem to have any weird shimmy or shakes. It's pretty cool cruising down the road...

Took it for a little cruise. Was a beautiful day for it, 75° and a slight sea breeze.

The lugs on mine are beat. They definitely can't be put on finger tight at first. Usually you'll get maybe 2 rotations before needing the impact. Sounds like some new lugs are in order.

The USMC isn't easy on anything lol Mine is a USAF truck with 15k miles on it, and you'd think it has 500 when looking underneath it.

The X doors with that rear curtain is the best look for these trucks in my opinion. That's what I'm going for with mine.

My goodness that's a sharp looking truck!

Took it for a 25 mile ride. It was pretty much it's maiden voyage, and everything went smoothly. Shifts like butter, doesn't pull or wander, and the brakes will put you thru the windshield if you're not paying attention lol

Probably glue/adhesive as said above. Should come off with a little prying. I wish you were closer to me, I'd love to have that curtain!

I also got my decals from Cold War Industries. They look awesome and arrived fast.

They're just a pair of Jeep TJ mirrors mounted with a little plate. Personally, I'd just get the Jeep mirrors and mount them myself. Save a good chunk of money.

Thanks guys. I'll give that charging method a try and see what happens. I have nothing to lose.

So my 1097A2 came with two dead Armasafe Plus batteries from 2011. They're currently deader than dead, showing 0.6v a piece. Is their any reason to keep them around? Can they be brought back to life? I've noticed even used ones are pricey, but these are dead as a doornail.

I have mine setup so I look at the mirror through the door window on the driver side, and through the windshield on the passenger side. I've found that trying to look at the pass mirror through the door window is tough, plus it sticks way out.
