Ron Dennis spent a few days exploring southern Colorado in his M-38. Sounds like he had a great time and had some beautiful weather. Sebastian compiled Ron’s photos and descriptions into a post at the Flat Fender Club of Butler’s website. go there to see all the pictures and Ron’s thoughts:

Here’s a photo of Ron at Black Bear Pass:
Someone needs to send you photos from the fall colors tour going on right now.
Ron’s comment at the end is so accurate. I almost stopped taking my 2A to the beach with my wife because I would spend almost half the day talking to strangers about their grandfather’s old jeep, or their uncle’s, but then I thought about the joy it gave an elderly man (WII vet) who asked if I would take him for a ride down the beach one day. 45 minutes later I brought him back to his family and he was on cloud 9. His family must have taken 20 photos. And that’s another reason we keep our old jeeps.
I really dig the look of Ron’s M-38. Those look like Super Swampers, I wonder if anyone knows Ron and can ask him what tires size, what wheels (stock 16’s?) and how much of a lift he needed. Thanks. Great pics!
Mark: They are probably similar in size to the Interco Super Swampers Gerald’s brother put on his flattie. Those tires were 265 / 80 /16s. You can see them here at the bottom of the post.
