Hope you find those tires! Yeah. I must say that we ate well that weekend... I had traded my 285/75/16's to one of my shop customers for a set of 315/75/16's that had been on his son's truck. The set that he showed me was a newer set than the ones I was getting. When I saw the ones I was getting, I changed my mind. But, earlier that day, he had sold my old tires. So, now he's trying to find me some Goodyear MT/R's for a deal. I'm thinking about going with Black Rock Yuma's in matte black alloy 16x8.5 with 3.75 BS. Like these, but in 6 lug obviously. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.polyperformance.com/shop/images/W/BRW-908B-A-200.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.thegallboys.com/Website%20Pics/Pics%20Low%20Res%20Goodyear/New%20MTRs.%20Pics%20Glen%20Gall.%20www.thegallboys.com.jpg) I think they'll be good looking...

Getting the Wheeling Fever

Sick it makes me wanna rebuild my motor, but its like brand new Japanese import crate. so there is no need. I have small oil leaks on it and lost about a half of quart of oil of non stop freeway driving for 160 miles. Really cool
<img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
Also i put radiator stop leak in my crate to seal up a heater core leak. and i was wondering if that would clog the water jackets like urs was. ill replace the heater core sooner or later and do a complete flush of the system. Also is there a fluid i can run through that will clean it out good. or should i just run water through it??
1990 Montero lwb, 3.0 V6, Custom bull bar, Completely stock on everything else. 186,000 miles 2" inch torsion bar lift. Conferr roof rack with homemade gutter mounts.

Water doesn't clean very well. You'll need something of an acid to get rid of deposits. You can use muriatic acid, but you have to be real careful with it and make sure you flush the system well. It eats copper and brass, as well as human skin...
If you're not comfortable with that, you could use a heavy duty radiator & cooling product of your choice...

any idea what you have spent thus far? Wow. I've thought about it, but I'm not sure I even want to know how much I've spent. A conservative guess right now would be in $5k-$6k range... Cheaper than a new car? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ignore.gif" alt="" />

How about just the engine work?

What I had done would've cost the average Joe about $800. I didn't pay that much, though...
On a sidenote, I found some tires.
