Gonna try and mount my own tires in a min. Anyone done it before??

 

After two hours of wrestling with one tire an only getting it half way off I gave up and took them to the tire shop! Lol

 

Got my new shoes

 

How did you end up in china??

 

lol they look great on there but dont expect to do anything crazy unless u lift it cause they are gonna rub just driving through town

 

It's mainly used for mud right now haha

 

and about the tires regular cars tires are ok to mount by hand when u have the right tools but heavy mudding tires are a pia even on a tire machine. i have a tire machine at work so im lucky lol

 

My wife and I are teachers. She had a job near Houston and i had a job in Dallas however when we got married it was impossible to get good jobs in the same town (yay economy!) and there are a ton of jobs over here with good pay and incredibly cheap living expenses so we went ahead and moved over.

 

That's pretty cool

 

Yeah I learned that the hard way ha. And you are lucky!

 

lucky to have all kinds of equipment and tools at my fingertips yes. but not lucky to be working with family. i actually quit and had to come back because i couldnt find a job anywhere else. but i have access to any welder i need. i can mig and tig but i cant stick to save my life my favorite mig we have can weld holes through frames lol its an old snap-on unit . torches milling machines and a lathe along with cold cut chopsaw. and an unlimited supply of handtools and speacialty tools. its great but sometimes it can be a pia
my family has a auto garage and we build racing go karts. also on the other side of the family ther is a forklift i can use if need be lol granted fixing the forklift is not fun i had to do the brakes and an oil change recently not easy

 

Fabbed up a "roll bar" in some spare time to keep me from dying until I get a cage

 

I would put some triangulation on that if i were you... looks good but it will get squished flat.

 

Not the best pics but it looks sweet. And its louder than my strait piped diesel. I feel sorry for whoever is riding shotgun! Haha
