I thought the MTR's had very thin sidewalls and were undesireable, at least for off-roading? Or was that just earlier generations of that tire?
Jeeze, if you were near me I'd buy those MT's from you.
That I'm not sure about. I know they had some blowout issues that seemed to be related to running them a little underinflated or something like that, and started scrapping any of them over 5 years old for safety reasons, but I don't recall hearing anything else.
I wanted the MTRs as winter tires, planning on getting the center bars siped for better traction. Bought them specifically for a snow trip I was supposed to go on next month, but got told Sunday that they decided my rig is actually too wide and won't be able to go through the route they have planned. Kind of a bummer, and I imagine I'd probably still be able to make the trail, but better to play it safe when on narrow trails in the mountains I guess.
The MTs will go on my rig for summer, replacing the slightly mismatched set I have right now (front two tires are off an H1 and sat in an enclosed trailer for over a dozen years, the rear two came off a DRASH trailer chassis I bought. Maybe 1/16th inch tread depth difference between them)
I picked up a 2-ton GI-issue jack yesterday as well as a good tire to replace my wonky tire.
Looks like only the 3.5 ton jack stows under the hood. I believe the under-seat straps for the jack are still present. I just don't want the jack to turn into a rusty pile of steel.
I also replaced my intermittent fuel gauge. The gauge was definitely faulty, not the sender. If I tap the dash, the gauge would read for a short while before falling to "E."
I'm looking at lug wrenches right now... are the lug nuts 7/8" or 22 or 23 mm?
Lug nuts are 7/8ths.
