They're pretty close to HMMWV tires but I don't think they are.
Probably not HMMWV tires, they're 37x12.50x16.5 and he said 40s
Told yous.
You could say I've been around them quite a bit.
I only drove one for about 9 months straight every day......

I said I didn't think they were... Not that they flat out aren't lol. I spent a fair share around them too.

They actually ran a few different patterns. Could have been after your time though. They may have been "experimental." Lol

Wes--I remember the previous owner had charging issues and bought a new/rebuilt alternator as a fix right before I picked it up. Not sure I ever ran it long enough to know if it still had the charging issue, and it has sat on a battery tender since it rolled home, due to infrequent use.

P.S. did you see the sweet custom Craftsman alternator spacer?

Yep the alt looks brand new, which leads to my suspect that it’s the harness. And yes, looks like the spacer I made for my tensioner! Drilling out sockets ain’t fun though

Harness checks out good, and while checking everything with the engine running the alt seems too noisy for my liking, going to pull it and have a look what she’s hiding
