    That's really good. I like that. Thanks.

    Particularly when combined with "non directional" tires

    You guys are too cruel

    I still have a stock braking system, in good working condition, NDT tires and it stops just fine. I think maybe some of us (myself included) are just accustomed to easy to drive large vehicles. Yes, it does require more than toe pressure on the pedal. But it will lock all four wheels when requested.

    I called and talked to him Thursday evening and he said that he was going to text me pictures of everything he has that evening. He hasn't texted me anything yet. I sent him a quick text Saturday letting him know that if he sent pictures, I didn't get them and could he please try again. I'm going to try calling him again tomorrow or Wednesday. I'm going to see if he would be willing to just sell me the conversion kits. He told me that he won't ship because it's too big, heavy and bulky. I can understand that, but it's over 900 miles from me. Maybe he wouldn't mind shipping just the kits. I'll let you know when I find something out.

    You can use Fastenal for shipping. They are very reasonable.
