Its very dusty from sitting in the corner of my home shop. The balancer has had several hundred wheel/tires balanced on it. My balancer...

    Interpret tire wear?

    I’m a newb at understanding tire wear and correcting the issue. Would prefer to not just ignorantly blow through these. tires have 12k miles on them, rotated at 10k. Running same psi front and rear - 37ish Judging by the fronts, I’m guessing this is an alignment and maybe balancing issue...

  5. Trailer tire brands and choices

    I have a typical 7x16 trailer I bought from a good buddy. The trailer has the typical 205/75/15 tires that these things come with. I have never had a tire issue until the last trip. I think it was a pothole that got it. So the tires are a load range C which puts the tire right at the max...

    Anybody use one of these cheap tire balancers?

    Been looking at these forever, anyone use one and think they’re any good? With the exception of the missus’ car I always order tires online and mount them myself with the spoons and dish soap. Not easy to find a hole in the wall tire shop that will balance them afterward and actually do a good...

    Torsion axles severe inside tire wear

    Took the crawler hauler to KOH and back, and it pretty much smoked the inside of a couple tires. All the tires are definitely showing accelerated inside wear. Immediate thoughts, just go buy three new axles and bolt them in but figured I’d ask if anyone that is smarter than me knows if they...

    New UTV Sticky tire released

    Looks like Roctane has released a new sticky version of tire. It's called the STX. They have an ST which is a 10 ply rated and the STX which is a 8 ply rated in a sticky compound. I have not heard any reviews on these yet but they may have not been released to the wild yet. Like other Roctanes...

    Lame small tire build

    Haven't done a build thread in awhile, this will be a pretty lame one:grinpimp: After building a $$$$ diesel landcruiser and never wheeling it I decided to sell it to pay off some debt and build a cheaper 4x4. At least it will be a cheap shitbox sitting around not getting used instead of an...

    Tire siping machine

    Wanting to buy a siping machine for home use. I’ve used the heated razor blade style and had suboptimal results. Unfortunately siping machines are $$$$. Anybody know of a sub $1000 tool I could use in conjunction with my tire balancer to slice and dice? Thanks
  12. Axle Width vs Tire size?

    Maybe overall width vs tire size is a better question. I've seen this in various threads as a peripheral discussion, but I can't seem to find a thread dedicated to this. I'm close to making sparks building some new axles and I'm not interested in doing it twice. My build is a stretched YJ...
  13. Help me find this spare tire hoist (95 K1500)

    I ordered a Dorman 924-510 spare tire hoist for a 1995 GMC Sierra K1500 P/U. It was not the right part. :homer: The OG hoist had two 15mm bolts that ran through two crossmembers and the hoist itself. The replacements everyone seems to offer slides in on the back side and is retained with one...

    Best Factory Spare Tire Jack

    Would like to keep a few mechanical screw or scissor type jacks on hand. Is there any vehicles I can keep an eye out for at pick n pull that had better factory spare tire jacks? Most fullsize trucks? I know the H1 Hummers have a cool high lift scissor jack, but not very parts yard plentiful.

    Recommend me a minimum fender to tire clearance

    Title basically states it. Seems fairly newbie. Here is a picture to help identify what I'm looking for: How much room would you give the front or rear edge of the tire to the fender opening? I will probably end up with about 7" above the tire. Rig shown in picture isn't what I'm concerned...

    40in Hankook DynaPro and 17in Pro Comp Beadlock. Forget where I found these, it's two models mated together. The tire was scaled up from a 31 (as the sidewall says).
