They seem to be a little stiff.. I'm hoping they will be a little more flexible.Why are you grooving them?
I don't see the reason why.
Thanks

Cool.They seem to be a little stiff.. I'm hoping they will be a little more flexible.
Grooving is very common for offroad tires.Maybe they are to old?
Grooving them tires also helps them wear out faster. It takes rubber away and makes the tire tread wear away faster as it hits the road and flexes the contact spot more then it did with the original design. It may be a a slight improvement off road but it will wear away more tread on the road faster. They do make tires that are re-groovable but then you just follow the design in the tread. But go at it. At least you will have some Groovy tires on your CUCV. And that is far-out man I Dig it.
Anyone that can use far-out,groovy and I Dig it in 2 sentences is way cool in my book...
Sweet lights.View attachment 576036View attachment 576037View attachment 576038View attachment 576039View attachment 576040I installed a set of Truck Lite LED headlamps in the Crown of Thorns M1009. I now have over 2 million candle power of lights on the front of the M1009. The 60 LED light bar is going on the roof rack next time I get around to it. Thanks for looking.

Was that a mess to replace? Did u need to drain any brake fluid, mine is beginning to leak a little bit onto the floor mat. .Changed the hydro brake booster.View attachment 575032View attachment 575033View attachment 575034Re-manufactured $170. exchange with the core. With out the core add $68. for a core charge. About 1 hour and no cursing. Thanks for looking. It is the OEM one so after 30 years and 102K miles it was time to go bye bye.
I couldn't find one for a diesel, just a gasser. So I took out the pillow fluff and used the screens off it, it will stop the rocks, and twigs. I am going to see if I can order the correct one.View attachment 577000Before and afterView attachment 577001This is the one from Autozone. I highly recommend you put a catch all screen on that pick up tube in the tank.
