do you have windows 2000 server, advanced server, XP Pro? if you do then
install IIS and setup the working folder for your web page and specify the
correct address and your are in biz. i am going to set mine up here pretty
kwik. i have been building web sitez for the past 4 years and the best place
i found was the free servers. totally free with a little bit of advertising
on them. if you want a professional host with no adds then you can actually
pay a monthly service and they will hook you up with a specific amount of
bandwidth a month. www.freeservers.com is the one i used to use but now that
i have cox i will be hosting from home. if you host from home with cox's
home service then you must specify a different internet port for people to
hit your site. if you get the biz stuff then i believe you get a static ip
and you can host without changing. just a thought. if you need more info
call... i have a few beers in me right now and the logic doesn't seem too
clear!

Hello,
Has anyone ran trails (not the street) with the rear sway bar disconnected on a TJ? Is it worth crawling underneath to disconnect/connect them? If they are disconnected, do good things happen or bad things happen on the trail?
Any advise or comments will be appreciated.

Mike,
If you have some bandwidth for your internet connection, check out the Axle Alley video on my web site. Lachlan was running his TJ that day without front or rear sway bars. He wobbled around enough that it was mentioned on the video, at one point. I would not recommend you run with no sway bars on the trail. Keep the rear connected for some resemblance of stability. I recently installed a Currie Anti-rock sway bar up front so I now run with both front and rears in place. The Currie allows you to flex off-road and still maintain pretty good highway handling, depending on how you set it up.

USA-ALL Monday Dispatch for January 13, 2003
STILL Stranger Than Fiction:
Bush administration defends funding environmental groups under Bush's
Faith Based Initiative program.
Many of you who linked to the article in last Monday's Dispatch about
how the Bush administration is openly inviting environmental
organizations to administer governmental environmental programs
probably thought heads would roll once higher-ups in the White House
found out what was going on. Think again!
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer Marc Morano followed up on that story
(see link below) with an interview with David Kuo, deputy director of
the White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives. In
that interview, Kuo called the concept of using the Bush initiative
to fund religious groups dedicated to envionrmental cases like
"global warming" a "great idea'.
Paul Mortensen wrote an excellent article about this issue and
USA-ALL is proud to feature it on our website. Click
<http://www.usa-all.com>http://www.usa-all.com and then select
"News/Articles" on the left. DO NOT miss this excellent piece.
Mortensen is Director of the Jefferson 21st Century Institute. See:
<http://www.j21c.org>http://www.j21c.org. J21c is a public policy
research center dedicated to the principle of separation of religion
and government whereby government neither establishes, nor favors,
one religion or nonreligion over another.

Speaking of exempting military from environmental laws...
Many on our list are members (or family) of the armed forces,
including some units of Utah's National Guard recently mobilized. I
know this will be of interest to them. While I'm on the subject, I'd
like to express our gratitude to our members and supporters serving

Excellent Reading Department:
I met Toni Thayer, briefly, years ago. My impression at that time was
she seemed to be the "true believer" type of environmentalist. The
blood flowing green as grass type. These people frighten me because
they know full well what their extreme proposals will do to our rural
culture... and they don't care.
You can imagine my surprise when I got my Winter 2003 edition of
Range Magazine and saw Thayer as a featured contributor. Her article,
"Why you can't trust the Trust" continues Range Magazine's superb
reputation for insightful articles. DO NOT miss this excellent
article.
We encourage you to consider subscribing to Range. The subscription
price is a bargain at twice the price, and if you order online you

You won't be disappointed.
See: Why You Cant Trust The Trust
<http://www.rangemagazine.com/stories/winter03/dont-trust.htm>http://www.rangemagazine.com/stories/winter03/dont-trust.htm
Speaking Of The Trust...
What would you think the Grand Canyon Trust would say to a plan to
retrofit power plants so that energy generating capacity would double
while at the same time producing less sulfur oxides, less nitrogen
oxides, less heavy metals and other pollutants? If you think they'd
be supportive... think again!
Last week, the Grand Canyon Trust and the Land and Water Fund of the
Rockies sued the Arizona Corporation Commission, the agency in charge
of approving new power plants, because they didn't consider
"potential effects of an increase of carbon dioxide emissions" when
they approved a plan to spend $100 million to retrofit power plants
in Arizona. The improvements would emit fewer pollutants while
providing twice as much power. View the Trust's press release here:
<http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/press/index.html>http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/press/index.html
If this doesn't make any sense to you, go back and read Thayer's
piece "Why You Can't Trust The Trust" and all will be made clear.
Lessons of Wolves:
In last week's Dispatch, I urged all of you to read a letter to the
editor by Nicole McGill from Tooele printed in the Salt Lake Tribune.
In the letter, McGill informs us that there is much we can learn from
the wolf and "To know the wolf is to love him." McGill goes on to
compare the "social and family oriented" wolf with evil and immoral
humans. She tells us that wolves "mate for life, while the majority
of humans divorce". McGill also informs us that wolves never abandon
their young, sick or dying.
The day after McGill's letter appeared in the Tribune an AP story
appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle about how the last member of
the original pack of wolves reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park
in 1995 had died. According to the story, the 8 year old wolf was
known as "Number 2" and was credited with establishing the first new
pack in Yellowstone.
McGill might be comforted to know that "Number 2" wasn't shot by some
"ignorant rancher" or anything like that. No, instead "Number 2" was
brutally killed by other wolves! Reality is quite unlike McGill's
Disney-esque version of things. Just as soon as a wolf looses status
in a pack, other wolves become aggressive and a brutal death often
results.

Geologist Shocked To See Environmental Bias In New York Times
Michael L Pinnell, a professional geologist from Sandy Utah, wrote
about how shocked he was to see "false innuendoes, lies, half truths
and biased journalism" in a New York Times article the Desert News
re-printed.
The temptation to make fun of Pinnell here is overwhelming. I mean,
no one should be surprised to see biased journalism in the Times.
Perhaps Pinell was shocked that Utah's Deseret News re-printed the
bias.
Anyway, Pinnell's critique of the Times article is definitely worth a read.

Well, while I had my last XJ for about 11 years, I didn't run it without
sway bars nor did it have 6" of suspension lift on it. But my
experience with my TJ shows I don't want to be in it without having sway
bars on it. The Currie Anti-rock I now currently run up front (in lieu
of quick disconnects) is softer than what I was running....but I got use
to it and really do like it now, both on and off road.

True, but you can't do a lot of the cool stuff that you can do with your
own server, such as server side includes, dynamically updated web pages,
etc. If you just want your basic "here's the picture, click here for
another" page, then you ISP's space would be fine.
Many of the third party web site hosting places have ridiculously low
bandwidth limits and then charge you up the wazoo if you go over. If you
go this route, make sure you read the fine print. Most of the cheap ones
have like 3GB a month limits. I regularly go over that in 5 days, and my
ISP hasn't even batted an eye at the upstream traffic from my DSL
modem. (Cheap plug: http://www.getnet.net ) I hear Cox are nazis about
this, though, and they block a ton of ports.
On the other side, your site will load faster for more people if it's
hosted from your ISPs server connected directly to a T3 line.
As with all things, it depends on what you want to do with it.

Subject: Re: websites
well from experience with my own jeepin sites. You can use your provided isp
space if you don't mind your website being called
www.earthlink.net/~yourname. You can buy a .com name and then have a cheap
place host the site. Yahoo.com has some very affordable and easy to setup
domain sites, but then you don't get all the extra's like a cgi-bin and your
limited on script usage. They do support MIVA scripts but the support and
free-ware scripts you really want, can't be found. I recently switched to
Crystaltech.com, the same hosting site that the az_vjc runs on. They provide
support for everything under the sun except for php support. but for $20 a
month, you can run a website with a full blown database using .asp script,
which is pretty easy to pick up and there is a lot of free-ware stuff you
can run. Check out my site sometime,

Subject: Re: Looking for Install info for 8.8 into YJ
Get the R.E. spring perches from 4-Wheelers supply. Grind out the
radius 'til they fit. (I did this because I did mine SOA. I cant
remember if the Ford perches have the correct spacing for SUA)
Hopefully you're getting the Ford Explorer U-bolts & backing plates
with your axle. The stock Ford backing plates have shock mounts on
them should work well for SUA. Otherwise, if your shocks look like
they'll be too long, get some new shock mount tabs (also from 4-
Wheelers Supply )and weld them onto your axle tubes.
I did not add a proportioning valve and my brakes seem to work just
fine, but maybe they'd work even better with one installed.
Trim the 8.8 diff cover to eliminate the flare on the bottom edge.
You'll also need to add a spacer to one of your cable-stops, and
make a longer link out of some 3/16 all-thread to hook up your new e-
brake cables.
If you want, I can take some pictures of mine and send them to you...
Good Luck with your project. You're going to love your 8.8!!!

They are nazis and they do block ports, but you can get around this by
moving your site to a different port (i.e. 8080) then create a DNS CNAME
pointing www.yoursite.xxx to www.yoursite.xxx/8080.
I agree a cheap box running your favorite OS and Webserver is fairly
straightforward. However, if you don't have the experience to deal with
security issues and the like, an ISP is probably a better way to go, IMO.

Price: $17,700/offer
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
2002 Jeep Wrangler X (comparable to Sport). Yellow with black hard top and agate (charcoal) interior. 190hp 4.0L 6-cylinder with 5-speed manual tranny. Original owner, garage kept, under 9K miles, excellent condition! As the original owner, I'm ashamed to say that it has never been off-road, and it shows.
Factory options include hard top, sound bar, fold-and-tumble rear seat, A/C, power steering, full carpeting, full hard doors, and 3.73 axle ratio. I have added the following equipment: 15x7 5-spoke Jeep alloy wheels, 31" BFG all-terrain tires, dark tinted windows, Blaupunkt CD player, Bestop "safari" top with windshield channel, OEM "add-a-trunk" locking storage, and more. This TJ does not have the limited slip or Dana 44 rear axle.
Please note that you'll save almost $1,500 in sales tax on this purchase, compared to buying through a dealer, because you don't pay sales tax on private party vehicles. You'll also avoid those ridiculous "dealer doc fees" that range from $200 to $300.
This Wrangler is an eye-catcher, and I get compliments on it almost every time out of the garage. My wife and I are stuck in a financial predicament with three car payments, so one of them has got to go. We're also advertising the other two vehicles (RAV4 4x2 and Tundra V8 4x4); all three vehicles are priced below Kelley Blue Book's "private party" value. Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!

Tom and Russell,
Can you email some pics to me also? My 8.8 is getting stuffed full of 4.56
gears and an ARB right now. If the pinion angle is correct, I'm going to
use the stock spring perches. I've heard of many people doing this without
getting any vibrations. Can you use the ABS sensor hole on the top of the
pumpkin for an axle vent? The stock one seems to be tilting back quite a
bit. Has anyone tried removing the O-ring from the 'proportioning valve'?
to get more pressure to the rear disks?
Are there any other people doing this swap soon? We could have a mass axle
install wrenching party... just like Joe West's hood lock install. I plan
on installing mine in a couple of weeks.
Something I learned... you can use spare axles from earlier drum brake 31
spline Exploder 8.8s.

What, you dont need a sound bar in a Jeep ????

Subject: [FS] 4 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires; stock 15x7 2002 TJ steel wheels
Price: $170 for everything; $140 for tires only; $60 for wheels only
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
These wheels &; tires are take-offs from my 2002 Jeep Wrangler X. They only have 1,500 miles on them, because I upgraded to alloy wheels with 31" BFG's. The tires are still mounted on the wheels, but I will separate them.
The tires are P215/75/15 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. They have black lettering only (no OWL). They're good all-season road tires. Regular retail price is around $75 each.
The wheels are 15x7 gray-painted steel wheels. Not much to look at, but they are still in 'new' condition.
Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!

Price: $190 firm for the set of 5
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
Four of these tires have less than 1K miles, and the other one is still brand new (0 miles). They are Bridgestone Dueler H/T D840, and they retail for $85 each. The tread is better suited for on-road driving than off-road.
According to tirerack.com, the tires specs are 30.4" x 10.4". Of course, they require 17-inch rims. They have the same overall height &; width of a P265/70/16.
I'm not sure if any of you have a Jeep that would require this tire size, but perhaps a Grand Cherokee or something else. I just thought it was worth a shot. Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!

Mike,
If you have some bandwidth for your internet connection, check out the Axle Alley video on my web site. Lachlan was running his TJ that day without front or rear sway bars. He wobbled around enough that it was mentioned on the video, at one point. I would not recommend you run with no sway bars on the trail. Keep the rear connected for some resemblance of stability. I recently installed a Currie Anti-rock sway bar up front so I now run with both front and rears in place. The Currie allows you to flex off-road and still maintain pretty good highway handling, depending on how you set it up.

USA-ALL Monday Dispatch for January 13, 2003
STILL Stranger Than Fiction:
Bush administration defends funding environmental groups under Bush's
Faith Based Initiative program.
Many of you who linked to the article in last Monday's Dispatch about
how the Bush administration is openly inviting environmental
organizations to administer governmental environmental programs
probably thought heads would roll once higher-ups in the White House
found out what was going on. Think again!
CNSNews.com Senior Staff Writer Marc Morano followed up on that story
(see link below) with an interview with David Kuo, deputy director of
the White House Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives. In
that interview, Kuo called the concept of using the Bush initiative
to fund religious groups dedicated to envionrmental cases like
"global warming" a "great idea'.
Paul Mortensen wrote an excellent article about this issue and
USA-ALL is proud to feature it on our website. Click
<http://www.usa-all.com>http://www.usa-all.com and then select
"News/Articles" on the left. DO NOT miss this excellent piece.
Mortensen is Director of the Jefferson 21st Century Institute. See:
<http://www.j21c.org>http://www.j21c.org. J21c is a public policy
research center dedicated to the principle of separation of religion
and government whereby government neither establishes, nor favors,
one religion or nonreligion over another.

Many on our list are members (or family) of the armed forces,
including some units of Utah's National Guard recently mobilized. I

like to express our gratitude to our members and supporters serving

Excellent Reading Department:
I met Toni Thayer, briefly, years ago. My impression at that time was
she seemed to be the "true believer" type of environmentalist. The
blood flowing green as grass type. These people frighten me because
they know full well what their extreme proposals will do to our rural
culture... and they don't care.
You can imagine my surprise when I got my Winter 2003 edition of
Range Magazine and saw Thayer as a featured contributor. Her article,
"Why you can't trust the Trust" continues Range Magazine's superb
reputation for insightful articles. DO NOT miss this excellent
article.
We encourage you to consider subscribing to Range. The subscription
price is a bargain at twice the price, and if you order online you

You won't be disappointed.
See: Why You Cant Trust The Trust
<http://www.rangemagazine.com/stories/winter03/dont-trust.htm>http://www.rangemagazine.com/stories/winter03/dont-trust.htm
Speaking Of The Trust...
What would you think the Grand Canyon Trust would say to a plan to
retrofit power plants so that energy generating capacity would double
while at the same time producing less sulfur oxides, less nitrogen
oxides, less heavy metals and other pollutants? If you think they'd
be supportive... think again!
Last week, the Grand Canyon Trust and the Land and Water Fund of the
Rockies sued the Arizona Corporation Commission, the agency in charge
of approving new power plants, because they didn't consider
"potential effects of an increase of carbon dioxide emissions" when
they approved a plan to spend $100 million to retrofit power plants
in Arizona. The improvements would emit fewer pollutants while
providing twice as much power. View the Trust's press release here:
<http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/press/index.html>http://www.grandcanyontrust.org/press/index.html
If this doesn't make any sense to you, go back and read Thayer's
piece "Why You Can't Trust The Trust" and all will be made clear.
Lessons of Wolves:
In last week's Dispatch, I urged all of you to read a letter to the
editor by Nicole McGill from Tooele printed in the Salt Lake Tribune.
In the letter, McGill informs us that there is much we can learn from
the wolf and "To know the wolf is to love him." McGill goes on to
compare the "social and family oriented" wolf with evil and immoral
humans. She tells us that wolves "mate for life, while the majority
of humans divorce". McGill also informs us that wolves never abandon
their young, sick or dying.
The day after McGill's letter appeared in the Tribune an AP story
appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle about how the last member of
the original pack of wolves reintroduced in Yellowstone National Park
in 1995 had died. According to the story, the 8 year old wolf was
known as "Number 2" and was credited with establishing the first new
pack in Yellowstone.
McGill might be comforted to know that "Number 2" wasn't shot by some
"ignorant rancher" or anything like that. No, instead "Number 2" was
brutally killed by other wolves! Reality is quite unlike McGill's
Disney-esque version of things. Just as soon as a wolf looses status
in a pack, other wolves become aggressive and a brutal death often
results.

Geologist Shocked To See Environmental Bias In New York Times
Michael L Pinnell, a professional geologist from Sandy Utah, wrote
about how shocked he was to see "false innuendoes, lies, half truths
and biased journalism" in a New York Times article the Desert News
re-printed.
The temptation to make fun of Pinnell here is overwhelming. I mean,
no one should be surprised to see biased journalism in the Times.
Perhaps Pinell was shocked that Utah's Deseret News re-printed the
bias.
Anyway, Pinnell's critique of the Times article is definitely worth a read.

Subject: RE: Sway bar disconnects - rear
Well, while I had my last XJ for about 11 years, I didn't run it without
sway bars nor did it have 6" of suspension lift on it. But my
experience with my TJ shows I don't want to be in it without having sway
bars on it. The Currie Anti-rock I now currently run up front (in lieu
of quick disconnects) is softer than what I was running....but I got use
to it and really do like it now, both on and off road.

Is a TJ (coils front and rear) THAT much more tippy than an XJ with coil
front and SOA rear? (Stu, you have owned both right? what do you think?)
I
am running no sways on my XJ and I have some seriously flexy springs and
I
dont see a problem. Although I drive it on the street like a modified
jeep
and not a race car.... I was reluctant to run without them
initially...but
you get used to it.

True, but you can't do a lot of the cool stuff that you can do with your
own server, such as server side includes, dynamically updated web pages,
etc. If you just want your basic "here's the picture, click here for
another" page, then you ISP's space would be fine.
Many of the third party web site hosting places have ridiculously low
bandwidth limits and then charge you up the wazoo if you go over. If you
go this route, make sure you read the fine print. Most of the cheap ones
have like 3GB a month limits. I regularly go over that in 5 days, and my
ISP hasn't even batted an eye at the upstream traffic from my DSL
modem. (Cheap plug: http://www.getnet.net ) I hear Cox are nazis about
this, though, and they block a ton of ports.
On the other side, your site will load faster for more people if it's
hosted from your ISPs server connected directly to a T3 line.
As with all things, it depends on what you want to do with it.

Subject: Re: websites
well from experience with my own jeepin sites. You can use your provided isp
space if you don't mind your website being called
www.earthlink.net/~yourname. You can buy a .com name and then have a cheap
place host the site. Yahoo.com has some very affordable and easy to setup
domain sites, but then you don't get all the extra's like a cgi-bin and your
limited on script usage. They do support MIVA scripts but the support and
free-ware scripts you really want, can't be found. I recently switched to
Crystaltech.com, the same hosting site that the az_vjc runs on. They provide
support for everything under the sun except for php support. but for $20 a
month, you can run a website with a full blown database using .asp script,
which is pretty easy to pick up and there is a lot of free-ware stuff you
can run. Check out my site sometime,

Subject: Re: Looking for Install info for 8.8 into YJ
Get the R.E. spring perches from 4-Wheelers supply. Grind out the
radius 'til they fit. (I did this because I did mine SOA. I cant
remember if the Ford perches have the correct spacing for SUA)
Hopefully you're getting the Ford Explorer U-bolts & backing plates
with your axle. The stock Ford backing plates have shock mounts on
them should work well for SUA. Otherwise, if your shocks look like
they'll be too long, get some new shock mount tabs (also from 4-
Wheelers Supply )and weld them onto your axle tubes.
I did not add a proportioning valve and my brakes seem to work just
fine, but maybe they'd work even better with one installed.
Trim the 8.8 diff cover to eliminate the flare on the bottom edge.
You'll also need to add a spacer to one of your cable-stops, and
make a longer link out of some 3/16 all-thread to hook up your new e-
brake cables.
If you want, I can take some pictures of mine and send them to you...
Good Luck with your project. You're going to love your 8.8!!!

They are nazis and they do block ports, but you can get around this by
moving your site to a different port (i.e. 8080) then create a DNS CNAME
pointing www.yoursite.xxx to www.yoursite.xxx/8080.
I agree a cheap box running your favorite OS and Webserver is fairly
straightforward. However, if you don't have the experience to deal with
security issues and the like, an ISP is probably a better way to go, IMO.

Price: $17,700/offer
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
2002 Jeep Wrangler X (comparable to Sport). Yellow with black hard top and agate (charcoal) interior. 190hp 4.0L 6-cylinder with 5-speed manual tranny. Original owner, garage kept, under 9K miles, excellent condition! As the original owner, I'm ashamed to say that it has never been off-road, and it shows.
Factory options include hard top, sound bar, fold-and-tumble rear seat, A/C, power steering, full carpeting, full hard doors, and 3.73 axle ratio. I have added the following equipment: 15x7 5-spoke Jeep alloy wheels, 31" BFG all-terrain tires, dark tinted windows, Blaupunkt CD player, Bestop "safari" top with windshield channel, OEM "add-a-trunk" locking storage, and more. This TJ does not have the limited slip or Dana 44 rear axle.
Please note that you'll save almost $1,500 in sales tax on this purchase, compared to buying through a dealer, because you don't pay sales tax on private party vehicles. You'll also avoid those ridiculous "dealer doc fees" that range from $200 to $300.
This Wrangler is an eye-catcher, and I get compliments on it almost every time out of the garage. My wife and I are stuck in a financial predicament with three car payments, so one of them has got to go. We're also advertising the other two vehicles (RAV4 4x2 and Tundra V8 4x4); all three vehicles are priced below Kelley Blue Book's "private party" value. Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!

Tom and Russell,
Can you email some pics to me also? My 8.8 is getting stuffed full of 4.56
gears and an ARB right now. If the pinion angle is correct, I'm going to
use the stock spring perches. I've heard of many people doing this without
getting any vibrations. Can you use the ABS sensor hole on the top of the
pumpkin for an axle vent? The stock one seems to be tilting back quite a
bit. Has anyone tried removing the O-ring from the 'proportioning valve'?
to get more pressure to the rear disks?
Are there any other people doing this swap soon? We could have a mass axle
install wrenching party... just like Joe West's hood lock install. I plan
on installing mine in a couple of weeks.
Something I learned... you can use spare axles from earlier drum brake 31
spline Exploder 8.8s.

What, you dont need a sound bar in a Jeep ???? Why not, the next thing you will say is that you dont need a stereo in your Jeep.........Well my YJ has 12 speakers and 2 1200 watt rockford amps, and it sounds just fine over the road noise.....wouldnt have it any other way.....and yes it is a 10 1/2" SOA with lots of mods, so it will get it on in the dirt too :-)

Subject: [FS] 4 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S tires; stock 15x7 2002 TJ steel wheels
Price: $170 for everything; $140 for tires only; $60 for wheels only
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
These wheels &; tires are take-offs from my 2002 Jeep Wrangler X. They only have 1,500 miles on them, because I upgraded to alloy wheels with 31" BFG's. The tires are still mounted on the wheels, but I will separate them.
The tires are P215/75/15 Goodyear Wrangler RT/S. They have black lettering only (no OWL). They're good all-season road tires. Regular retail price is around $75 each.
The wheels are 15x7 gray-painted steel wheels. Not much to look at, but they are still in 'new' condition.
Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!

Subject: [FS] 5 Bridgestone Dueler tires, P265/65/17, almost new
Price: $190 firm for the set of 5
Contact: Reed: 623-210-3484 or rtnet@cox.net
Four of these tires have less than 1K miles, and the other one is still brand new (0 miles). They are Bridgestone Dueler H/T D840, and they retail for $85 each. The tread is better suited for on-road driving than off-road.
According to tirerack.com, the tires specs are 30.4" x 10.4". Of course, they require 17-inch rims. They have the same overall height &; width of a P265/70/16.
I'm not sure if any of you have a Jeep that would require this tire size, but perhaps a Grand Cherokee or something else. I just thought it was worth a shot. Please call or email with any questions. Thanks!
