I'm still in Springfield. Stop by the shop and see them. Can we get a little jeep meet over at the shop sometime?
Would be cool so you guys would know where you can work on your stuff if you want.

Just added some Centramatic Wheel balancers to level out the 35's and TR Beadlocks... They were not too bad without any balancing; but we all know what happens to an unbalanced tire after a while... anyway these things seem to be the shiz in wheel balancing; they make a little bit of noise at low speeds; just until they set and balance... but I don't care, getting 25-50% more life out of my tires will be well worth it.  I'll never have to balance my tires again or worry about losing weights on the trail. HOORAY!

Here is a link to their website for any of you who haven't ever heard of these.

Not to be a butt-hole, but you can do what Jimmy did for about $16 from Wally-world with a bottle of these:



Just drop about a waterglass full of them in each skin.  I've been running them for several thousand miles, with no problems on or off road.

I ran beebees in my tires once. It started wearing down the inside of the carcass, so I took them out.

BBs are steel, therefore harder than the carcass of the tire, & most have a flat on them that creates a friction point.  The soft air pellets are some sort of plastic that doesn't stick togather, or wear the carcass.  But hey, we all know how cheap i am, so price WAS my main objective.  There was a big thread on Pirate one time about it.

Bigfoots Shop had a tire lathe that turns the tire to be perfectly round then they glued  the weight to the inside of the tire I had that done on my 44's yrs. ago didnt worry about knocking weights off and Amzoil sold a set of Bead Ring weights that worked not too bad on smaller tires

no carcass on my car. It hasn't died yet. Did find a snake skin in my yard though.
