[QUOTE="Rockwells607, post: 320449, member: 1134"] I've been talkin about it for two years, finally got around to trying a set, I started by cutting a set of old ground hawg 44" tires [URL=http://s864.photobucket.com/user/nhtucker/media/9F0DA689-FD34-4834-BC17-2CA7653FBE12-693-00000034D7409377_zpsfdca5911.jpg.html][IMG]http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/nhtucker/9F0DA689-FD34-4834-BC17-2CA7653FBE12-693-00000034D7409377_zpsfdca5911.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL=http://s864.photobucket.com/user/nhtucker/media/63E99BDF-AEC1-4872-9B26-E7CAF9837707-693-00000034E9DB7CAF_zpsb786cc02.jpg.html][IMG]http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/nhtucker/63E99BDF-AEC1-4872-9B26-E7CAF9837707-693-00000034E9DB7CAF_zpsb786cc02.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Then I started messing around with how to put the holes for the bolts in, I use a woodys 3/8 snowmobile track drill first, it only made a 1/4" holes in tires and these old ground hawgs arnt stretching for **** so 1/2" bolt wasn't going through that hole so i copied that drill and made a bigger one out of O1 tool steel and hardend it, this makes a perfect hole for the 1/2" bolt and sails through the tires like a hot knife in butter [URL=http://s864.photobucket.com/user/nhtucker/media/08940B2D-E288-4574-A5C4-DE66C537C5E3-693-00000034C0A08BA5_zps224650d5.jpg.html][IMG]http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/nhtucker/08940B2D-E288-4574-A5C4-DE66C537C5E3-693-00000034C0A08BA5_zps224650d5.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now I'm on to buying and bolting the tires , I'm gonna have 112 bolts in each tires and its gonna be about 150$ in just hardware [URL=http://s864.photobucket.com/user/nhtucker/media/920A12E1-C620-4CF8-AD8F-4F56EEAA950E-693-00000034F2767037_zps267a4477.jpg.html][IMG]http://i864.photobucket.com/albums/ab206/nhtucker/920A12E1-C620-4CF8-AD8F-4F56EEAA950E-693-00000034F2767037_zps267a4477.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I've been workin a little away each week, I'm making matching aluminum beadlock rings and re centering a pair of wheels rockwell pattern to match my buggy...I hope they pay off in the end cuz they are alot of work , when I'm done bolting I'm gonna weld the top nut of every bolt [/QUOTE]
