Glad you finally found a soob without the cancer that bad! I know how rust is your arch-nemesis...mine too, apparently. Found a fifty cent hole below the bumper the other day.
-
The hankook site does show 215's available in that tire, so I'll just try a few tire shops and see if it can be ordered.
-
Glad I don't have that kinda commute! That's the 15* lift, isn't it? It'd be cool if he stayed in touch to report on tire/axle wear.
-
Never had spfi, just a feedback craptachi. Definite power improvement there, though!
-
Where exactly are you rubbing at, Jeff? I'm surprised, even with 235's, with the wheel offset you got on there. I'm concerned now with those mazda wheels. I think they come in 15's too, but with these taller tires, I don't wanna hit the spring. Maybe a tad more offset would be good? Scott, didn't I read that you ordered those hankooks some time ago? Who'd you go through?
-
I can't make it, Jeff. My soob's stuck in the driveway...oh, and I'm working!
-
Nice work! Now you need bigger tires, so you can sell me your old ones!!!
-
It's nice to see this level of customization and creativity for those of us that aren't capable or willing to do so. I likes it!
-
I could get Hankook MT's in that size!
-
You drive the freeway with those? The Scooby: What's your lift and don't you have an EJ in there?
-
I'd love MT's, but that is almost 28". Right now I can cruise on the freeway at 75 with pedal to spare, and I don't mind driving slower. Know of any good MT's in that size?
-
I got lazy too... zzz Better than taking off the skid plate and both pipes for something I'll never want back on. New lawn ornament: I'm also now thinking of going with 15's all around. That way I'll have more choices in tires if this ever become a serious wheeler. I just want under 27"s, so how 'bout a 205/70 or 75? Still looks like plenty o' meat for the light wheelin' I'll be doing. And I know they're not SSR's, but these look pretty decent: http://www.coopertire.com/html/products/tires_suv.aspx?page=discoverer_atr Old studded 205/75R15 from out back. Can you tell I park there often!?!

...better than blowing your dough at casinos!

You don't have to spray, but that will give you the smoothest paint job. Testors oil-based model paint comes in flat black and will go on nice and smooth, if you thin it. Used it for touch-up on yak racks before.
-
How many in the fleet now, Bill? Nice find!
-
Simple: http://www.sjrlift.com/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=3 Do a body lift for less stress on axles. Bigger tires alone will cause more stress.
-
Thanks for that, Bill. I have no choice but to drive to work tomorrow, so I'll take er easy...for now!

Well, I haven't had much time or money to work on the snail. Been spending a lot of both on a Ford. I did do a few things today, though, and best of all...didn't cost me a dime! Disconnected front sway bar on pass. side. I believe from searching around here, that will be same as fully removing it. I'll drive it like that to work for a while, before pulling the whole thing. Still have to do rear's. Finally got a good, used taillight on that I bought here on the board. Cleaned up both sides real well with WD-40, then alcohol. Dap gutter and flashing buytl caulk worked great for a reseal. It's gray, not black, but who's gonna see it!?! Slapped some stickers on. The Edelbrock is on the Ford, but I thought it funny to put on the soob. Hope to make some big progress here real soon, Eric

Still kinda spendy for a parts car. Personally, I'd rather see it live then die but...
-
The tranny would work, but not much else and it's kinda spendy for a parts car.
-
Bummer, how did you discover that? Looks like you've already started on the mods!
