His goal was to enter it in local car shows and, so far, he’s won four trophy’s with it. Nice work!

Tanner found a set of four of these adapters, but several of us don’t recognize them (Here are some for comparison: http://www.ewillys.com/2017/04/05/dual-wheel-adapters/). They seem closest to the Hickey adapters, but also different front them. Here are the pics:

Dan shared this nice looking CJ-2A with a Kelly 23 series hardtop. This HiBid auction ends with a soft close in 23 days. This does have some unusual looking hubs, which I imagine are just a cover over the original hubs?

This jeep may be worth a look. Is that hitch unusual? It looks like three rods/bolts are holding it in place.
