Was digging through my Library and found several older Off Road catalogs
Many may know Richard Cepek tires but did you know they had an Off Road store and was one of the main places to buy "Off Road" tires and wheels. They were great people to deal with back in the day.
Back to 1976 , I had an older one but its all torn up and greasy looking

Loved looking at Richard Cepek catalog,that was when Big Foot was on 36in tires, !200/15 Gumbo mudders were the bad boys,International dealer was open 24hrs and had every Scout part you ever wanted.

Richard??? his name is Richard,my name is Richard,what is your problem with that??

I remember when my Dad ran those rhino type mud/snow bias ply tires on his truck in the 70's. They would shake your teeth out after sittin gfor a bit..... he never got stuck though!
Mounting and balancing... $6

Nothing quite like the simple pleasure of browsing through a good catalogue with a mug of tea :D

Not sure I should admit this, but I remember that exact catalog. That was back when I was looking forward to owning a Jeep somdeday. Somehow it didn't seem crazy to look through a catalog of things that would fit on a vehickle you didn't have yet. :D

That catalog just may have the aftermarket rack that's on the back on my '46. I was told it was ordered from there... any chance you could peek?
