After a 7 month delay I finally will be running the Hutchinson's next week!! :horns:
The beadlocks I bought used off of Ebay needed alot of love! I don't fully understand how each wheel front and back was so full of oil, but they were and needed a good scrubbing to get clean.
Next after that was to clean all of the mounting surfaces(see picture from previous post). I guess this was more of a step for my own confidence, but I would hate to go through all the work of mounting the tires only to have a small leak some where!
I also ordered a brand new insert to replace one that had a gash in it & 4 of the lock ring nuts as I had one nut missing per rim (?)
Lastly I had to build two more TPMS brackets as they were missing on two of the inserts
An apointment has been booked for the 24th to balance and mount them!!!
I can't wait, and am so pumped that they will be ready for the Walker Valley OHV Trip!!!
Since I am now at 67,000 Miles I figured now would be a good time to get new spark installed as well, normally this is something that I would do myself, but I am going to be pressed for time next week getting everything ready for the Walker Valley H4O wheelin' trip so I am going to pay the shop to do that while they are doing the tires. This will free time up to make the changes that I want to the bedcage, mount the cage and RTT to the T and plumb in an air tank for my OBA setup.
Lots of text, I know, next week will be Pic heavy I promise!
