Sand blasting and hitting the dings with a carbide burr works wonders

Didn't do much, just walked around mine to see what I would like to do to it. I do see either different rims or painting the rims in the future. I even was looking at the tires on my skid loader and they sure would look sweet on my xj, i might get some 16.5" rims if i can for the xj and put the skid loader tires on them when I get a new set for the skid loader. Then I had to come up with an excuse to why I would put the skid loader tires on it, they would be great for skidding logs out of the woods, they are 10 ply and R4 industrial tires have the best sidewalls out of any type of tractor tire. I guess time will tell.

That'll work! The finish is all messed up on the edges and they're starting to corrode. I think i know someone who has a sandblaster...

One of my better rims, the wrose one was up against a rose bush that was full of wasps... So i didn't bother lol. I also wanna resolve that lugnut issue i got going.

Actually not too bad, IV got about 400 lbs of parts tire and tools back there at all times. Its stiffer but much better than a saggy rear end bottoming out.
