Title: Jackpot!!
Post by: imskippy on April 25, 2008, 11:25:00 PM

Look what my dad got from an old farmer in N.Y. he was cleaning out the barns. That's a Dodge 2500 diesel tire. How about 2 of these measuring 29 1/2" and 5/32" thick! How many knives you think I'll get out of them?

looks like I'll be putting the 24" I just got on $bay up for sale. Anyone interested?

I think you should figure out how to bolt those to your tires!
You'd get some SERIOUS traction!!!

You could clear right-a-ways on your hunting property with your truck

We had two of these in an old barn on a place in East Texas . When my Dad sold that land a few years ago, we just left all that"OLD JUNK" in the barn.    :knothead:      :mad:
