Your family employs someone who can set up a Ford 9" 3rd member...how much different is a Toyota 3rd?

[AggieTJ2007]

that would be too logical

[bcolman]

and too cheap

[FJAggie07]

fun times ahead...

[AggieTJ2007]

they put it on the pallet w/ zip ties? Wow

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Yeah, but those are really BIG zip ties. It's cool man.

[Doug Krebs]

If you're a joo like me, you'd save those big zip ties!

[KrazyKarl02]

Wow, I mean normally I would make fun of you for something, but the zip ties, why, I mean, who would, I mean what the .......

Amazing!

Two steps ahead of you bud already saved them. The guy through everything on a pallet and tied it down with what looks like television cable and ginormous zip ties and the wrapped everything in plastic. I kept it tied down to the pallet and took it out to my parents place and unloaded it with the front end loader on their tractor, cool story I know.

God dammit, I am not getting a very good return on my money here. Can I get a refund???



You have ~34 days, you gonna be able to get it done?

[FJAggie07]

No I dont think I will be able to do it Ed. But I have a back up wheeling truck and will be there no matter what.

Question for the much more knowledgeable folks on the board. Are re-centered Humvee wheels with the Double Bead-lock worth a damn? What about the 8 Bolt Vs. the 12 Bolt? The guy on Pirate selling them can get me 4 re-centered with rock rings and PVC Inserts wrapped with those 37" Humvee tires for $1178 delivered. It seems like a good deal to me but I just want to ask?

[Sharpe]

The bias ply tires that come on the 8 bolts rims arent worth ****. When I was selling my bunch of rims I gave a couple sets of tires away because I didnt feel like disassembling the wheels. The 8 bolt wheels are designed to be used with the bias ply tires and can only hold ~35 PSI or so. The radial tires are better though. The 12 bolt wheels are stronger and designed for the radials, but IMO arent really necessary for what we do considering most wheelin tires are bias ply. Not factoring in labor, that price is a little steep. It is quite a bit of work recentering H1's but I only have ~$400 into mine, not including purchase price.

[FJAggie07]

That's including the radial 37" tires not the bias plys and 120 bucks in freight. Let me see if I can find the thread and maybe ya'll can look at it a little more and tell me what you think.

It's this dood.

Hmm, his work looks solid but for $200 each I would go with Trailreadies.
