Ive been hesitant on doing that cuz uk tires r expensive lol but I may just pull the trigger on them now plus I have tire chains on cuz I live in Wisconsin but they dont like to stay in place so real inconsistent contact but if I cut tires they will stay in there place better I hope lol. Plus I got some rovers for summer time

I would like to have a stinger with winch mount and dual light mount for my Jeep bodies wraith. That would be cool! Maybe I should learn to braze
