Yeah, what he said!!!

I had a hole in the left front tire on free bee so I took it off and took it down to the local repair shop/tire shop here in town. Kinda a good thing I got the hole cuz I have a stock wheel I was gonna mount a 30" tire on for a spare, but I tried the wheel with the stock tire and the center hole isn't big enough to fit over the lockouts. So if I wouldn't have gotten the hole in the tire I wouldn't have had a spare that fit when I was out at ks rocks!!

Tomorow I will go get the tire and get it back on then take it to the local car wash and wash all the mud off. I did find out that the outside car wash here is free to just rinse it off, you just have to pay for soap if you want it!!

I might need one, I dug out the other factory wheel I have and it don't fit either!! Those are the only 2 wheels I had for it!! If I don't find one I will probly take a look at what you got when I stop by to pick up garret.

Duane, I have some extra factory rims if you want them for future use. What are you running for hubs? If you are still running factory ones I have a few extra ones that you can have for spares.

A torch would open up that hole real easy. Might have some sisues with the balance, but it's just a spare after all.

Oh and I'm still trying to figure out why you're washing it before you take it wheeling. Sorta like wiping before ya poop.

One of the wheels I tried was a factory rim, however it might have been for a 2wd or a rear cuz I had to unscrew the closed center cap to clear the lockouts but the inner diameter of the hub pilot was still too small. I have 2 sets of the factory hubs so I'm good there just gotta find a wheel that will clear them.
