    They are 235/85. Love these new KM2s. Always had ATs until this set.

    What kind of tyres are those if I might ask?
    Not sure the exact size based on photos Derek, maybe 235 85 or 255 85, but they're BFG Mud Terrain KM2s.

    The color was definitely worth the trouble. So pleased that Ike was able to track down an original dark grey, since the mid grey or even burnt grey wasn't what I was looking for. initially, i wanted a nice original patina, but we found this truck part way through a restoration that was mechanically sound with a very solid chassis and bulkhead. Only thing was it had been stripped of all exterior paint. So I bit the bullet. Glad I did.

    If you wanted a truck to work on, you got the wrong one. Lets trade. Mine's got a safari hardtop, so its basically an even swap.



    nice ride!!!!

    Love the GnR thread...had no idea. Awesome.

    Many thanks to Ed in Alaska for going on a gas run when we crossed paths in Scotia, CA. In the 700 miles I drove between Springfield, OR and SF, his sweet expedition SIIA was the ONLY series we came across. It just so happened to be the exact moment that I ran out of gas on the 101. Funny, the gage said I had 1/4 of a tank! What are the odds? But like he said, these rigs are attracted to each other.

    Fresh from the Pangolin shop in Oregon, here are a couple of photos from my weekend trip bringing my 88 to San Francisco. Ike did an amazing job!

    So you're the owner of the truck we've been drooling about over on the GnR forum!



    Amazing Rover!

    It is awesome to see others who love the breed as much as my family does! We had to put down our first Berner this summer due to Degenerative Myocitis. He was only 5 and a half, so he was taken much too soon. We considered other breeds, I have had a lab and a golden in the past, but there is something about the Berner personality that just wins you over.

    I've been prepping him to be my hiking companion, and he will be carrying his own backpack as soon as he gets to be 18 months old. He seems to like the old rover pretty well, so with any luck he will become a great dog!

    Training my new co-pilot about wing mirror adjustment.
    Right on! Our Berner turned 7 on Saturday. They are a great breed.

    That's for sure! Hold him while you can.

    Yup, that's the four Rovers. (L->R) Amelie, Sly and Enzo. We're just dog sitting Sly the Berner.
