Well I have have one wheel/tire completely done. The other wheels are all ground down and are ready to be welded up. Need to pick up a few more valve stems before I can put them together.

Haha! I haven't had any time/money to work on it recently. I did however make some time last sunday and weld the remainder of the wheels up. Just need to install them on the tires and see if they hold air. Only downside to the H1's is that damn O-ring! Hoping to get off at a decent time tonight to get the last two together.

Chop Chop Fawker! It's a 3 day breakage fest this weekend.:awesomework:

Uh oh... 38's and double beadlocks...

Looking good charlie

What Chad said. get it loaded up so sunday we can go up and peel that shiny new fender off :redneck: we are gonna roll up there about 9:30 or so. depending on how it goes we might make an afternoon run after we leave Elbe at your favorite wheelin spot. I have a set of jumpers onboard these days too :;

I have some serious death wobble going on. Reset my toe in, it was off a bit. But its still there, so I fawked those centers welding them! Usually happens when I build ****. DAMNIT! Hopefully when I drop the air pressure some will be taken up by the tires. Was testing all of it at 35 PSI.

I had a wicked case of death wobble on ironically a set of 38" tsl's. If I ran them over about 15 psi I got wicked wobble anything below that it was fine. It had nothing to do with the wheels. Tried everything under the sun to fix it and in the end I sold the tires. One goofy thing was they were fine on my other truck, my buddies truck and on the truck they were put on when I sold them. Good luck.

Eh I'm good. I dont need anything over about 5-10 psi.

Well I had some rubbing issues so I took care of that today.

BEFORE



AFTER



Trimmed about 2 inches out of the rear.

Also redid my front shock hoops. I half assed them the first time I welded them on, so now they are on there straight and welded well. Threw on one of my rock sliders. Hoping to get back out in the garage in a bit to get the other one back on.

Oh yeah and I know I only have 3 lug nuts on per wheel. I have had to take them off and put them back on about 10 times so far and I don't have air tools so I've tried to make it as easy as possible.

Well picked up a winch from Joop, thanks Jon! Now just need to figure out how I want to mount it and pick up some steel for it!

Small update on the truck! Got the front doved minus the hood... Also got my winch mount made up and winch mocked in place.

Need to get myself all of the stuff to get the battery moved in the back and also pic up a new battery...

Looks good Charlie! Bumpers next?

**** when I wheel with you I'm tempted to install airbags...

Haven't decided what I want to do yet for bumpers so they will wait. I know as soon as I throw a bumper on there it will continue gathering tooob and become something it doesn't need to be yet!

Well I've put some time into this turd lately. Finally got a winch wired up and spooled with an in cab control. Still need to test the damn remote. If its bad I have a new Warn plug that I am going to wire in and steal my brothers controller!

Good job, yota looks good.

Thanks man. Been a ton of work but seems to be well worth it!

Here Charlie now ya got some action pics in your build thread

Thanks Jason. I knew it was missing something!

I love that pic of the turd in the rocks coming off of Rainier Vista. Probably my favorite from the trip!
