Good Luck, I am interested in what you find with the rusted area by the top of the A pillar by the sunvisor mount. Mine has a similar area on driver's side overhead.

Little trimming and they should fit right in. What do you think?

Holy FrankenRover!!!
You're joking, right?
Would the rear door ladder be sufficient to get up to the driver seat?

Those Michelin military tires are the same ones they used on Camel Trophy trucks, just in stock size.

There is not going to be just trimming with these , there is going to be major cutting.What you see is just tires without any modifications on the body.Don't ask me to turn the steering wheel.For now it will stay this way parked until I change my fuel lines while floor is open.Other than that these are Micheline XL900 military tires.They are used and right now probably 34 inches tall.Height of the brand new one is 35 inches.Millitary requirements for this type of tires was to be very narrow and tall so that they can fit lot of trucks.Minimum width of the rim is (if I remember correctly) 7 inches.I will check that if anybody dispute it.

The DI rim is also 7"

Those look kick butt on there.

Now if only they were mounted on these rims...
