Getting my Syncro on the road Today!  I've had it since november but
finally got enough money to get it certified and lisenced.

First week I had it I went playing in the swamp with my brother who just
bought a 68 Chevy K-10 short box 4x4 beast.  I was havin a ball seeing how
far I could go before he would have to pull me back out again.  I got it on
video and might get it on a web site in the future.

I was doing pretty well for the way the van was running, but I only had old
snow tires on and the diff lock wasn't working.  Diff lock is now fixed and
I was wondering can I engage it when the vehicle is moving, or do I have to
be stopped?  How much of a difference does does a locker make?

Next question is about tires.  There have been a lot of posts and a lot of
opinions.  I am pretty much decided on the BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's,
but I plan to do a couple of "fun" weekends this summer and I wondered how
these tires are in the mud?  Also how are they for road noise and wear?

I have a spare set of rims (one alloy set and one original steel set) and I
was wondering if there was a good set of "really" off road tires that I
could switch to (a friend suggested looking for Mickey Thompsons to fit?)
and keep a set of just road tires. . . or are the BFG's good enough for all
round everything?

If anyone has any other tips for mud "syncro-ing" they would be
appreciated. . .
thanks a bunch eh!
