U still on the BFG's? I remember you puttin heat on them at Hannibal in the parking lot. My wife was very impressed.
3 BFG's lost a sidewall in one...Wyatt's not the only one that can tear up a tire laughing1 (factory defect I blame on Cole) :flipoff1:
1 Cooper that has yet to hit tera firma
and one ORIGINAL tiger paw from 2000....yeah it's a bit weather checked. :****:

I need to find a new mechanic to press off/on the bearing. My shop went tits up and there is some irony there as my mechanic was a lesbian. :gay:

I can get the old one off no problem, but the new one on is the kicker. Also no parts monkey could get me the bearing retainer that I know is not reusable. Plan is to find a mechanic today, get bearing after work and strap axle to the Husky and haul to mechanic tonight if I can and pick it up tomorrow and take it in the ass. Still cheaper than $325 I was quoted to not get my hand dirty.
 
I was going more for the not getting the hand dirty thing, than the trail rig deal.
