CountryBumkin Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I have four (4) tires and wheels to giveaway. They are 37" x 12.5R x 16.5 Parnelli Jones Dirt Grip mounted on American Racing Outlaw II wheels (8.5 x 16.5 with a 8-6.5 bolt pattern). They have plenty of tread left (probably close to 75% tread remaing) but I didn't want to run them on my rig because they are 15 years old, and I was worried about a high speed blow out. So I replaced them. I don't want to go through the trouble of shipping them. If anyone wants them, they are free to be picked up in the central Florida area. http://www.offroaders.com/tech/AT-MT-Tires/parnelli-jones-dirt-grip.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Cool! Maybe I should change the title of the folder to "For Sale, Trade, or Give-Away"? FYI, I've PM'd fljab on FTE to see if he wants to come over here and look at those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Gary, at one time on another forum, there was a thread titled something like: "Free, to a good home". What if this was called something like "Marketplace"? Or "Swap Meet"? And the description explained that it could be for sale, giveaway, trade, or whatever. That way we could have one folder where we could do everything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fljab Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 To Countrybumkin; Where in Central Florida? I can't use these tires or wheels as I have F150s (5 lug pattern) and on my 4x4, actually reducing tire size from a 33 to 31. Have you had these on the local craigslist under "free" and/or "auto parts"? Those wheels do have value so you should be able to get a few bucks out of them. Why not post them for $100 bucks for the set and see what happens? Tell them about the age of the tires, or otherwise either have them removed or puncture the sidewalls in an obvious place and way so they cannot be used again and post.

I had actually thought about going with bigger tires as a way to change my gearing. With the 3.55's I'm always looking for another gear when I get to 4th. And the only time I use 1st is when pulling a trailer. But, I'm probably better off using the ZF5 I already have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary, what is the fun in simply changing tires when you can better spend your spare time swapping out transmissions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Lewis Posted August 25, 2017 Share Posted August 25, 2017 Gary, what is the fun in simply changing tires when you can better spend your spare time swapping out transmissions? Spare time???? The get-together cum full-fledged show is sucking up a lot of resources. I've posted about it in 14 different forums, and I have gotten several questions/comments from them. Plus there's the planning, speaking of which I still don't have the show classes/categories nailed down and need help on that. Then, someone was silly enough to start a new forum just before said show, and figuring out how to make it work is sucking up even more. There's a bloke in England that is helping by sending really good information on how he's done it - but I have to sit down and read/re-read his stuff to make heads or tails of it. But, it is helping as I now know how to do some things that were frustrating me. Then, my friends are suggesting good additions to the documentation on the web site, like the new TSB's, 3G conversion, and EGR info. And it seems that having the documentation readily available to the forum can be very beneficial and, therefore, help get the forum off the ground. But, the use of the term "spare time" is somewhat debatable. Doing any of the above isn't necessary. So, I guess I have lots of spare time.
