Metric tires for a 4x4.. well I never heard of such a thing... I really need to cut back on the Vice Grip Garage - Derek talks like my grandpa did (he was from Minnersota as well)... and I'd mimic him... this is not good. ah well....
But they were $100 less than bias ply tires and they're both Toyo AND radial.... I'll try to completely recoup my cost by selling the current tires - likely I'll get 1k out of them.... all for better mileage and better drivability. 385/75 16 ....

Spending money on good tyers stops a lot of flats.

time for the spare.... in some of the things I do, we're required to haul a full sized spare.... I don't agree but I like doing that - so time to make one that doesn't rattle
These are cool, but I don't think I'll use them... or maybe...
finally something the warn winch can lift
the only issue is my tow points are higher than the spare... I could use the hitch, but that isn't there for recovery.
it's really not as low as it seems from the back.... still, If I carry a spare, it will be smaller. I have patch kits, tube, welding wire and dowels to fix a flattened tire - if I need to use a spare, I can put it on the front and unlock the hub (or pull a shaft on the rear)

Good Lord! You're still working on this thing?!
I don't feel so bad now.

I know little of the BGs since Mining Disaster. So they stole Lennon-McCartney lyrics?

I pictured you more as a Dead Head, not a Bee Gees type (nothing wrong with that, but it wasn't the image I had)

Having everything inside where it can be safe when you walk away from the Cruiser is a good idea! Those jacks get stolen all the time while people are parked and away from their rigs.
