Mounted and Balanced the new tires tonight and then installed them on the Rover...

I have a new set of lug nuts coming and I'm painting my center caps gloss black to match the wheels as well...

After those things get installed and I get the chance to clean her up a bit, I'll get out and shoot some better quality pictures as these are just crappy cell phone pics...







Pretty pleased with how it turned out!

 

Took the Rover for a drive today out through the waterfowl resting area near my house. I was impressed with how well it rides on the new shocks and tires. I drove up a seasonal access road with a pretty steep grade, making new tracks. We had 1/4" of ice and then about 3" of snow yesterday. I didn't slip a wheel at all.

Stopped near a creek and took a few photos of the scenery... Had to grab one of the Rover too.

 

Actually had a chance today to pull the enclosed motorcycle trailer about 100 miles with the new setup. I was very pleased with how the Rover handled the towing duties. Noticeably less nose dive under braking with the Heavy Duty OME front springs. The DuraTracs performed well with no noticeable squirminess when cornering.

I'm really happy to also report that I averaged 10 MPG while pulling the trailer. Prior to replacing all 4 O2 sensors, I was averaging 10 MPG just driving around town not towing anything...

 

Your rover has a serious case of underbite.
