Well, long time update. After unceremoniously dying the morning of the Veterans Day parade 2016, and me looking at it every day since, I finally got off my ass monday, had a local wrecker company come pick it up, and drop it off at a local store (Tucker Automotive, Spring Lake, NC) to get...

Some quick pictures of the canvas install before I finish packing and head to denton.

Getting the Tarp and Bow Kit ready to install. Will need cleanup, but this is my "camper" for Denton, so I need it set more than I need it to look pretty. (Not me in the picture, buddy who was helping out)

ok, there we go.

Just got back from taking some pictures. Apparently, I'm now a victim of being unable to upload photos, either from my phone via the website or desktop via the website.

Smooth as GLASS... holy crap what a difference some tires make. I'll get the details and pics up this weekend, but drove her back from the shop today... and WOW... seriously smooth. like a completely different truck.

it's more like, the guy who sold them didn't look. I didn't look when I dropped them off... oh well. Tires are successfully on, the spare works, and I'll be putting the old ones off the M880 on the pioneer. all works out in the end!

Well, good news/bad news. Got the truck to a highly recommended tire shop today... one of the rims that I bought is a 16.5"... not happy... had to pull one off the Pioneer Tool Trailer, that's thankfully 16". going to put the old M880 tires on the Pioneer for now. hopefully she'll be rolling...

I don't know, as I said before I'm not going that route. Maybe make your own thread asking?

Got the call at work, rims have been powder coated... now gotta decide on some tires... thinking General Grabber or similar... Thoughts on sizes? No Lift, No Trim.

Got my rims yesterday, and dropped them off for blasting and powder coating.

That looks great man. I have a line on some 16" solid rims, hoping to have enough to do a total replacement. I don't have to worry about a garage right now... heck, my daily driver only makes it into my parents garage by a matter of an inch or two...

I think that'd be a pretty good idea actually! Those are one of the styles I would be looking at honestly!

they will with a lift or trimming the corners of the front wheel wells. I personally don't have the intent of doing that.

Plan is get some 16" rims that look as similar as possible and a decent set of off roadish but street-able tires to go on the rims. Beyond that, no plan yet. spent what was going to be tire money on the Pioneer.

that's the plan. Probably that and the pioneer trailer. No good way to bring the jeep and this, so it's a one or the other.

Yes. No. :-P

Grabbed some pics when I got home early Weds. Hope you enjoy.

Yeah, I'm planning on dropping down to 16" as well. I think I was looking at Wranglers. I may also look at something a tad more "Exotic" like Nittos or similar. I use Nitto Trail Grapplers on my truck

Still using the agricultural tires from Iowa DNR. they became a low priority with everything going on, and the delay in starting work. I do need new rims and tires, but just holding off for now.
