Must be running out of things to do in preparation for the fun run. Decided to change the spare tire. The Firestone that was mounted had to be 40+ years old, definitely not a reproduction. I have never seen a tire with more checks and cracks. I found a pair of new manufacture Firestone 7.00 X 16 black walls at a local swap meet a while back with the intent of using as spares. A quick job that will provide good piece of mind while out an about on future outings. One note worthy detail was the vintage porta wall on the spare. Couldn't resist re-using on the replacement black wall. I guess most folks haven't seen a porta wall in many years.

Other than that, just doing things like packing freshly re-finished Jacks, crank handles, and lug wrenches to the trunks of both cars. Used newer versions of the original style jacks.
