Its not looking for me to make this trip. The loaner wheels won't clear the front brake calipers.

Maybe I'll get lucky and my wheels will show up this week.

I had to grind all four of mine to clear 15" rims. Chevy calipers are easy to grind. A spacer would work too. I hope you figure something out. I probably won't go if you don't. :( I'm a little leery about wheeling in Harlan with only two rigs.

I could probably get 2 - 39.5's from ToolMan as long as you replace them if they get damaged. He runs 17" rims. Or use his 2" spacers off the rear of his rig.

I've offered my Ford to Jesse and Andy, so they might be back in, I hope. Don't know if we'll be much help with a serious recovery, but its something...

That would be cool. Jim is going one way or another.

Tim only lives a few blocks away from me. I can throw his tires in my van and bring them to the meeting Monday. Gotta let me know.

93 Krawler · 04-01-2013, 09:21 AM

I'm loaded and ready to go. Anyone have Jim's number? I need to get a hold of him. Tim said he could use his tires or spacers.
