Good thing you weren’t hauling butt with that type of blowout !

 

[CJ]

Yea, I have new wheels arriving today...

 

[CJ]

All fixed. Had to a little work as the were one inch in diameter larger and used different axles (.015" larger diameter) but hey... Us old Jeep owners are used to that! After a brake adjustment due to the wheel diameter difference I'm completely mobile again. And the wheels have tread. Looks like I can go off-road now!

 

[Belizean]

Like Jim Rockford, who needs brakes if you have a good reverse ? You just throw it in reverse and spin around. Glad you are back on the road.

One inch Larger Diameter, eh?
Running on 35's Now !?
Bigger Axles......
Modified the Brakes.....
Have the Moderator move this
To the Builds/Modified section!!

Went to move the wheels to a different hole to compensate for the different diameter and fit the correct axles. The axles are .4685 in dia. and the correct drill is a 12mm (.4724) for a tight slip fit.

Started to step incrementally to the 12mm drill and wala!
On the first hole the bit caught and twisted my hand... Needless to say... A DeWalt drill with freshly charged 20v XR battery = lots of torque. About twisted my hand right off. With my rehumatoid arthritis it was an easy spraine, so for a while I'm out of commission. (the refit can wait)
I need a beer!

Yeah my thumbs and fingers aren’t what they were anymore either. It’s hell getting old. You better call Angi.
