Looks like the side biters of a mickey Thompson tire mounted on MT classic wheels to me. Cant see the tread pattern though. I have the classic 2s with the simulated bead locks on my truck.
Being the info guru you are malco. Did you know that Mickey Thompson acquired Dick Cepek in '2000?
Oh yeah, Im sort of a 4x4 and off road nut myself.
Nice skyhook

Thank You for the Tid-Bit! I will use it Wisely and Judiciously!

Since we are chattin' "Off Road", mine is accommodating for my tools and any Cell Site that I need to access. Nothing too fancy, but nothing I need to fret about in my Travels!



MX6's with oversized coils. Tires are Goodrich?? "Off the Shelf" crap. But they handle fairly well and take the New York Pot-Holes WELL!!!

Just, for the first time, did Ceramic Brakes...............Any one who does not IS A FOOL. Never knew what I was missing!!! HOLY Grabbing Power on my Rotors!!

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?

Always liked the Grand cherokee. Have an eye on a 93 square body cherokee sport to build into a dual purpose on/off road ride right know. Heres my two I mentioned earlier. At the time of the picture i just brought the s10 home after painting. Thats what i drive most of the time now. Have large tool box on back. 25+ mpg. Big truck gets 18-20 mpg on diesel.

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?

Thanks. Would you believe I paid $10k for that truck and $200 for the s10!
Neither one looked that good then though
Have $17k in the big one and $1000 in the little one total now.

Yeh the view was half the reason we bought the place. The view is a little better just to the right of the pic too. Can see bought 20 miles.

That truck belongs to a friend of mine. It's a 1968 1200c
Mine is not all that but it does have a 8,000# Ramsey self recovery winch on the front and 4 doors.

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?

You'll love this one I have a ford 150 that stays in the drive most of the time.

the work vehicle I use most is my 1993 volvo 240 station wagon with 400,000+ miles. I've remove the back seat, lay the back down and all my tools are under cover with easy access, including my Jaws 20' ladder. Largest extention ladder carried on top 40'. If the tools are removed I have carried a 4x8 sheet of plywood. But the truck gets called into service for more sheathing. This vehicle is so good I keep my eye out for another with less mileage.
