I have 3-tons. Should handle my XJ just fine.

I drove it to work: 25 miles, and the needle was below the E line when I left home. Hope it can take me home when I get back in town.

Grind a wheel off the hub, the PO broke a lug stud off and decided the best idea would be to weld the wheel to the lug stud....... URGH!!! i took a few pics of the weld but its hard to see ill post in the morning..... ive seen some hack jobs in my life time and done quite a few hack jobs myself but HOLY **** ive never thought of welding the rim to the stud thank god i didnt get a flat on the 1.5 hour drive back to my house after trading my perfectly good driving s10 to him to trade..

It fits! I need a spacer though, the edge is about 1/2" from the multimalfunction switch so I can't turn on high beams and keep nailing my knuckle on the switch.
I also didnt feel like modding the clock spring to make the signals self cancel, but I'll fix both problems easily soon.
