Re: 78 CJ-7
I think I am going to have to give up my nice chrome center cones on my
stock Laredo rims and go with the heavier Warn hubs. A local Jeep shop
will mill down the Warn ones, but I am not sure I want that. I need all
the structure they can give me for our bush trails. When I get twisted
up, I put a lot of stress on them.

Re: 78 CJ-7
Ya, you've emailed me once or twice, but I'm usually on-call when they come
up.
Anyhow, we've just got about a foot today and are expecting another 20-30cm
over night...AWESOME! Love the snowbelt up here. They ploughed all the
main roads which basically blocked in all the side roads where all those
little rice rockets were stuck up to their door sills.
Of course I drive right past the guys and be sure to stop and help the
pretty ladies! Which is why I'm itching to get my rear tow hitch so I don't
have to get out and push all the time! lol Cuz then the ladies just drive
away leave me knee deep....if I'm latched on with a strap then they have to
stop to let me unhook them....it's all strategy! haha

up.
Anyhow, we've just got about a foot today and are expecting another 20-30cm
over night...AWESOME! Love the snowbelt up here. They ploughed all the
main roads which basically blocked in all the side roads where all those
little rice rockets were stuck up to their door sills.
Of course I drive right past the guys and be sure to stop and help the
pretty ladies! Which is why I'm itching to get my rear tow hitch so I don't
have to get out and push all the time! lol Cuz then the ladies just drive
away leave me knee deep....if I'm latched on with a strap then they have to
stop to let me unhook them....it's all strategy! haha
