My Nickname at the Tire Shop

Post by sierrablue »

Got my old Hankooks transferred from the 6x5.5 steel rims to the 5x5.5 rims that came on the Panel, and the tire shop here gave me an incredible deal on it. Got my receipt and got home, and I read it. Under "customer" they put "Wagoneer Man" 😂 :-bd

There are 2 major differences between new Wranglers and FSJs. FSJs are meant to be both utilitarian and capable, not just capable. FSJs are also rarely initially recognized as Jeeps by the average American.

That's pretty cool! Maybe you could work that in to a custom license plate: WGNRMAN. :-bd
Now I must hurry on... for there they go, and I am their leader!

My local tire shop just called me the Jeep guy for a while, back when I had four of them. They still know me, but I only have one, so not quite worthy of the name currently :P
