Took off my winter tires and put on the summer ones.
I think we are done with winter :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, it got a 5 lug swap today :banana:
HUGE kudos to Caboob for helping me out.
It would have taken me a couple of days to do it by myself.
But being the slavedriver he is, we got er done in about 6hrs.
I was too tired and burned out to wash it, I'll get some better pics later.
Also need to replace the clutch very soon.
But I'm very happy with the swap.

Yeah..... 6" at my house already, with the possibility of 18 to 36 by Saturday afternoon. Back in January I was wondering why I had my snow tires on, but now that it's April, it finally makes sense :rolleyes:

Yeah, I know what you meant.
But Dr. RX did that late last month.
He pulled his winter tires off and it snowed 3 days later :-p

This is my 89 XT6, currently on loan to the guy that helped me do the swap. My 92 SVX is in the background.

I say nuts to them. And when they complain just put on your best Sean Connery accent and say, "if you don't like it, you can shuck it!"

Awesome looking collection!!!!
