Still a work in progress...if anyone knows where I can get 5 slot mag wheels like came on it originally let me know. I've been unable to find any, and I'm just about going to break down and get some re-pros.
I'm also planning to get it back to it's original color of copper poly at some point. I like it pretty good as is. But, there's just something about returning a jeep to how it came from the factory.

Look on EBay or craigslist for originals. A lot of time you may have to check local states to find them.

I went in the reproduction route with cragar nomads and original center caps that matched the original Laredo wheels. You can get the cragar in 8.5” width with works better with 12.5” tires. IMG_0554.jpg IMG_0557.jpg

I also won’t feel as bad when I bend one on dirt roads.
