    Nope... BFG tires are known for being under-sized, while goodyear tires are usually oversized.

    Dude. I kinda hope that'll happen.

    I'm pricing this thing to be a slow sale... If this isn't sold by the time Moab comes around, I will do everything I can to drive up there and wheel anything I can with that for sale sign on the window!! :p

    That's the best idea for selling it. Take it to the target audience. Wouldn't want someone who isn't going to use it right buying it. Also far away is good, I sold a 66 Mustang once and every time I saw it around I got all sad.

    Dang, man. :eek: And I agree.... This sale will be directed at a very specific audience. The only down-side is that someone across the country might buy it.... :( We'll see. Most of the interest I'e been getting on here have been from California.
    haha maybe so... :cool: That is, if I can keep it cool on the throttle and not break too many CV axles!! :D You know me, Bob... lol
    :eek:

    Nice, man!! Even if I do sell it by then... I'm seriously thinking about buying a $500 4wd station wagon, weld up the rear end so I can still play with you guys on the easy trails. :D hahaha Every time I think about last year.. I reeeeally miss the whole experience! Running the trails, and hanging out with you guys...

    The Black Rock wheels are not particularly my taste... but I needed aluminum to keep the weight down, aaand I didn't have much of a choice anyway.

    Regardless...
