Tyre sizes

[Little Jo]

Hi All

Thank you for your replies and advice. Very much appreciated. That is what I have come to like from MLU members, everyone is ready to help a newcomer.

RICHARD - Thank you for the e-bay site, I will follow up with them. I did contact a supplier in NSW who asdvised he could not source into SA, I did not even get a price from him. Local suppliers in SA have quoted priced around $225.00 each plus tubes and gators.

LYNN - I did not know our Jeeps tyre sizes were increased, That is what I like about the MLU I have learned so much from members.

RYAN - Yes mate I am very p[leased with my Jeep results so far and can't wait to start driving it. But Iam at a stage where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and must stay focused and finish the project properly. As you can see I am going WWII Dessert colours and fitout.

Thanks again guys for your help.

Cheers

great work on the jeep so far, because you have done it as a desert jeep do not forget thet the bonnet should have the RAF roundell and not the invasion star. John.

Little Joe, this ois a picture of a sand coloured jeep with the roundell that I restored for a client about 20 years ago. It looked so good I wanted to keep it, John.

Your restoration looks great and I can see what you mean regarding the Rounell, looks impressive. Your Jeep colour looks very similar to what I am using, My colour is called, "Sandbank" Your canopy is also the same colour as mine. Boy I am straining at the bit to finish the project, currently being held up due to waiting for some crucial parts which I Put in a "safe place" so I would not lose them, now I cant find them, so had to order new ones , what is the bet when I finish I will trip over them, very frustrating, or a sign of early dementure.

Cheers

Tony,
You are not alone in your early dementia. The only way to find the safley stored item IS to buy a new one.

I placed a new order for parts earlier today, you can bet I will trip up on the missing parts when I go into the shed tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up on the tyres as well, I ordered them today and the guy said I should have them delivered to my door within the week.

Cheers mate

Hi

Well I just thought I would give you a heads up for those looking for 6.00 x 16Bar Lug Tyres. As you are aware I have had a devil of a time trying to source new tyres for my Jeep Restoration project. Richard Coutts-Smith gave me an email site to check out. I looked it up and they had my tyres for $140 each free delivery anywhere in Australia.

I checked the company. "PowerSport WA" webb site, obtained their phone number and contacted them. The guy I spoke to was very pleasant and helpful. I ordered 4 new tyres for my Jeep and 2 for my mate, Bob Mosely WWII Jeep Trailer.

The order was placed and paid for by direct electronic payment Last Monday afternoon and the tyres were delivered to my home on Friday morning. Fantastic service. The tryes were fitted onto the rims and look great. I have attached a photo of the tyre on Bob's Trailer Rim.

I would recomend this company to anyone looking for tryes for their Jeep. I also would like to thank Richard Coutts-Smith for putting me onto the site. So now I don't have to worry about putting alternative tyres on my combat rims and keeping my Jeep original.

By the way I am not getting a kick back or commision for recomending the tyre company, oh hang on, they did send me a shirt and a couple of caps as a thank you for the order.

Cheers
