Mine was also a “Mikado”, which was the upscale package. Ahhh the cheap Japanese steel rusted so easily on that truck. Dad and I put a lot of time into making it look good. Good old days...

Back in the day, www.luvtruck.com was my Comancheclub... the site hasn’t changed much over all these years! My photos are still all there: http://www.luvtruck.com/Gallery/BrentMarshs78ReedCityMichi/index.html To think that I got 3 speeding tickets in THAT truck that would NOT do 70 mph on the freeway is mind boggling to me today :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Thank you Pete for hanging out, sharing stories and some knowledge, and just a really good time! Also got to meet and hang out with JMO413. Great last couple days all around. Safe travels on the rest of your trip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 14, 2019 Author Share Posted September 14, 2019 made it to a KOA in Union, Illinois for the night. the nearby walmart was kind enough to pay for it after they gouged the inside of my turbines I got from Jim. (the machine did it while they were removing the old tires and they "reimbursed me for my trouble". if anyone local has a turbine I can borrow, I'm told they would also cover the cost of "replacement" on the worse one. yeah right, like I'm going to find another never-ever-used turbine.

I have 8 turbines, they have all been used for many miles. Each of them is in a different class of “niceness”. (4 are painted black) I can bring one tomorrow for you. How nice of one are you needing?

If you could brIng a couple nice ones I'd supetr appreciate It. I'm not typically a vengeful guy, but they messed up a perfect rim that Jim himself gave me. I'm still livid.

Make sure you "pay" a ton of money for the replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 I'll snap a pic in the morning, but essentially the machine grabs the inside of the rim and for whatever reason it grabbed it super hard or whatever and the teeth gouged the aluminum.

watchamakalit Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 Pete I know I'm a ways away from you yet but I jave 2 extra turbines. If you need one still. One has a ding in the outside bead lip, but holds air fine. I would part with it if you need it. Edit: pic added.

Pete M Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 This is the inside of my previously near-perfect wheel. there are 4 sets of these gouges. The other 3 rims are used and have less severe damage. I'm starting to think I'm going about this wrong and I should really be looking into a wheel repair place to get a quote. it's a real bummer that it's sunday today. Or maybe see if walmart will throw down the money for Brandon's powdercoated set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 15, 2019 Author Share Posted September 15, 2019 on the positive side, this morning I woke up in a campground today and walked around in the cool wet grass with no fear of anything biting or stinging or stabbing my bare feet. Rust may be a big downside, but there are some definite advantages to midwest living. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete M Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 decided to stay another night at KOA so I can start fresh in the morning to fight with walmart. Then on to junkyards in Indiana and Ron's museum of Jeep wonders. Had a great time meeting up with a bunch of the ol' CC crew today. so very glad y'all could swing by to say hi. In traditional CC fashion we had such a good time we forgot to take any pics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 that might be a challenge since there are like 5 and I don't expect to stay at any for very long (just want to see if I can pop in and maybe get lucky). what city are you in?

Pete M Posted September 16, 2019 Author Share Posted September 16, 2019 the yards I was looking at are way over by chicago. BUT I see you're not that far from Ron's place in Churubusco! send me a PM with your number and I'll let you know when I expect to get there. If you haven't seen his place yet, you're in for a real treat. (bring money if you need any MJ parts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
