    Painting Question

    I'm getting ready to paint the (new) M880. Going the 4 color winter pattern like my M882 / McGuyver's. Do you lay out the pattern on the truck or just 'freehand' the pattern from the pictures / patterns?

    Which tires?

    The M886 needs tires. I can get BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's in a 31-10.50R16.5 The original 9.50-16.5 are pretty close to 31". I could also take the wheels & 285/75R16 (33-11.50) Mud Rovers off the M882 and get new 33-12.50R16's Mud Rovers for the M882 putting them on some 10" wide rims like...

    Mid Michigan Get together Idea

    Tire Thoughts

    My M886 needs tires due to dry rot. If I climb out of this financial hole before someone buys the M886 I'm gonna need tires for it. 16.5" tires are getting extemily hard to come by. I was thinking of putting 16's on it. Right now I have a set of used 16 inch truck tires but no rims yet. I was...
