Don't you have to worry about bending the rim?
I can F some stuff up with the 16 pounder in the back of my truck.

Tina enjoyed her T-bone.

Now I need to go to bed.

Well, Jim. You do everything you can to avoid such an instance, but sometimes things happen. It's a lot cheaper to wreck a rim than it is to try to heat it and then have a tire blow up and take out half the bed and half your face. But as stated a wood block makes a good sacrifice.

I'm still not very sure how I'm going to get the inside duals off the 06. We've beat on those things with every sledge we have and haven't moved them. Next will be driving down the shop road with the lug nuts loose. Anyone who has actually been to our shop knows that if anything will jar them loose that will.

Good morning Aaron and the rest of the morning crew!

Coffee's on and I'm going to try and tape the ceiling before I have to get to work.

I had those ***** off yesterday while I was swapping the brake warning bulb in my cluster.
Tanner, Be sure to tack a brace across that door opening when you cut out the sill and floor. Otherwise you can end up with a door that is WAY out of whack.

Good morning all. This weekend I managed to finish insulating the ceiling in the bathroom, allowing me to install the remainder of the sheetrock and concrete board. First coat of mud went on yesterday evening.
