Thanks for the replies guys! especially for the links, rayth. Unfortunately even $100 is more than I can afford right now. Spent all my "extra" cash on the oil change.
Unemployed and $$ is super tight. considering i will still have to pay for M&B, I probably need something around $50 or less. I was hoping someone might be getting ready for new tires and would sell me one of their old take-offs.
But again, much appreciated. sad not being able to drive the crossie.
