Just as the title says, I'm looking for a set of 235/85R16, E range to replace the tires, and spare, on my trailer. I don't need, nor can I afford, a full set of brand new tires, so I'm hoping to stumble upon a good set of used tires. Preferably all with even, and an even amount, of tread...

Are you still looking for these? Where are you located? I have a buddy up here with a set. I'm driving to GA next weekend. Let me know.

Can you post pics here in the thread??

I'm curious....did this ever sell, or is it still available??

What's the part number on that, man?

Don't fret, James :p !! The Sonoma is coming back "home" to visit next weekend. haha

I stand corrected! Jon (J/Cope79) was a HUGE help in getting things crossed off the checklist. I know he's the one who ran all the brake lines, as well as provided invaluable machinist tooling throughout the entire build. Having a perfectionist machinist rebuild your Detroit is probably the...

MUAAHAHAHAA!!! Mo (Rokcrler) played a big part in the build, as well..... And, I don't think he's done - I understand he may have what I need to refill my Fox shocks after I rebuild them, yes?? :driving:

And my bone-head move started out just messing around, and turned into a two hour extraction.....

The finished product!! We took the new truck out for what was supposed to be an afternoon of fun. James drove it a bit first, then I took over. It turned into something alot longer then just an afternoon out, when I was goofing around in a washout on our way off the mountain and fell in...

A little bit of testing.... And some randoms..... I put the gas tank in the bed: Ram put up high out of the way.... The lever on the winch had to be bent down in order to fit the winch up so high....

Interior is comprised of Acura Integra seats, triple sticks, and cutting brakes. The entire mount is completely removable: The Warn winch controller was cut up, and the switch mounted into the console. I have to contort my hand around the brake handles, but it's great to be...

The t-cases had to be put up HIGH in the frame.... James built in a little access panel into the floor so that I can adjust the cable shifters as they stretch over time....

No stock brake lines remain....all new plumbing, and the '80s Suburban master cylinder: It's eye-opening when you realize your 'sliders are over 7' long.....and H-E-A-V-Y!! A little something over my head.... Tied into the rock sliders and frame:

I guess I should update this! :cougar: The truck came 'home' a couple months ago. We're still in the "ironing out" phase, but, WHEW!!, this thing is a blast to drive out on the trail. Let's see....initially it was supposed to be hydro assist - that was changed to full hydro. The rear was...
