Just an older pic I found on my computer. My 71 Glad sporting radials (YUCK!) and a pig nose sitting over the rhino. Is it wrong that I think it looks REALLY good on there? Maybe it's just that they look so good with two tone paint jobs.....

Very wrong -- Now if it were a razor with the center being the rhino and then the pig nose over that -- it would really be interesting!

Well, I can do razor over muscle over picnose over rhino. Might be a little thick, but if I ever got into an accident (or several)I could just peel one layer off and have a fresh grille.

How do you like those 7.50-16'? Advice, keep them up to around 50psi, they wear more in the center any lower.

They are working out real well. 50 psi is where I've settled on keeping them at too -- keeps them from flat spotting, but with my springs flat spots aren't really noticeable since the front is bottoming out. I've had a slow leak in one from a poor job of cleaning up the old rusty rim, but I've got that taken care.

I'm really starting to like the QT also since in the snow/ice/freezing rain and those new tires (thanks for recommending them) and the QT work out much better than a part-time setup.

My DD is a Land Rover Discovery and I skipped on it a few times just to take the J-truck out ... the Discovery is full time 4WD with all the wingding electronics for traction control, but with the street tires on it doesn't feel as planted as the J-Truck or the Cherokee that I had with the NP229 in 4HI.

Only thing I would do differently with the tires is find a better set of rims since mine are collecting up too much rust.
