I'm wheeling at Hidden Falls this weekend. 2nd trip on the new axle build.

What days? I’m planning to go out. Second time on my new axle build too and with the e locker and 456 gears!

I can't wheel in my back yard this weekend. I have too much stuff to do.

Supposed to be great weather this weekend

Random question. Does anybody have or have access to a tire machine? I have 9 that I need to dismount and 7 to remount. I'm afraid of what a tire shop is going to charge.

I have access to the auto hobby shop on Ft Hood. It's not free but cheaper than a tire shop. Not sure how close you are to me.

Not very. Lol. About three hours. I do appreciate the offer, though!

I got one at my work but it’s not hooked up and it’s sitting outside. We are in the process of moving stuff around and building a new paint booth. So we probably won’t have it back in and hooked up for at least 2 months

We don’t have a balancer though. U would have to bead ballance

I appreciate that. I'm looking to get them done before the Soft Roaders meet at Barnwell on March 23rd.

Maybe I'll try to hit up one of the Mexican tire shops in Tyler and see if they'll let me use their machine for $20 or something. Lol.

I have, actually. You're right, it's not that bad but I don't want to take a chance on messing up my black aluminum wheels. Lol

I used to be the same way. But then I saw people with steel wheels that had been bashed so bad that they were almost unrecognizable as wheels anymore.

Luv the white TJ @EricOffroad... are you anywhere near Farmersville?

ErikOffroad · Mar 8, 2019

Fun trip for the short time we were there. It was a pleasure meeting your wife @JMT I forgot the GoPro this trip and my phone charger. I was only able to snap a few photos on this trip.

Climbing easy
