Yup, I called Wheel Vintiques directly and ordered straight from them.

Still no major updates, I've been out of town for quite a while. I did drive the Suburban around yesterday and managed to take it off road to torture the 12+ year old BF Goodrich tires a little. Couldn't do anything too severe yet because I still need to modify the shifter linkage to allow manual downshifting to second and first gears. It was a nice feeling knowing that ground clearance wasn't a big concern anymore. I only had my cell phone, so this is the one picture I took:



Even on a 93 degree day while moving slow over a rocky trail with next to no airflow across the radiator, I still couldn't get the engine warm enough for the auxiliary cooling fan to kick on.
