Good reason to fix your own nail penetrations.

I've always wanted beefier tires for Myrtle. I went ahead and bought them since I still have plenty of money left over from Christmas shopping.

Girlfriend got the final OK from her family to sell her '01 VW today in favor of that $700 Disco. Should be getting that soon, then it's getting a full service along with head gaskets and a crank sensor.

Added brackets to drivers seat.

Before (midget seating position).

After (normal human being position).

Dug these boxes out of the dumpters years ago.

Decided to use them for storage containers, under the sleeping platform.

I went from 255/65R16 slick house shoes to 265/75R16 Caterpillar steel toe workman boots.

I ordered the same BFG tires: 5 for CDN$1400 shipped (ugh, Canada). I’m putting 265/60R18 on stock height.

Where did you order from? I can't find anything cheaper than $300 per tire plus shipping

They're $255 USD on Amazon. Not sure what the exchange rate is.
