Hi List...

Here's the eBay auction he mentioned:

  http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2120676867

Are those REALLY 1100x20 tires? I don't see the difference. The
seller's front left photo is simply taken from a low angle which will
even make a MULE look beefy. ;)

Why would the seller say "This truck sits up like a 5.0 ton" when the
tire diameter, if it has 1100x20 tires, would not make the truck any
higher?
