Re: Snorkel Run
I think those tires were some type of military mud tire...I guess he had
stopped to put it in 4 wheel and couldn't get going again...it's extremely
snotty Nova Scotia mud...The green pick up was running BFG MT's and Goodyear
MT/R's on ol' "Muddy" (Red Rover) ...at the time my Jeep had the new Cooper
STT's

Re: Snorkel Run
I think those tires were some type of military mud tire...I guess he had
stopped to put it in 4 wheel and couldn't get going again...it's extremely
snotty Nova Scotia mud...The green pick up was running BFG MT's and Goodyear
MT/R's on ol' "Muddy" (Red Rover) ...at the time my Jeep had the new Cooper
STT's
