The swap will probably happen next summer or spring. You'll have to drive a bit farther now, I live in Michigan now.
I really like the duratracs, they work real good off road and handle well on road and in the rain. They aren't real loud either. I'd get them again if I had the chance.
Did some work today, finally out on the explorer hood hinges I got awhile ago so I can get rid of the stupid prop rod. Wasn't to hard to do, just taking the hood on and off by myself was difficult so I used a bunch of tape to protect the paint. What do you guys think if I removed the black cloth panel thats on the underside of the hood. Any adverse effects of removing it, it just gets covered in mud all the time.
