    I typically see people pop a bead more often than break a wheel.

    How bad would it be for your truck if you waited a week to get it aligned after replacing shocks? I would assume not bad but idk

    Get a buddy to help with a quick toe adjustment and then you can get an alignment when you have time.

    Measure front to front rim and write down measurement. Measure back to back of front rim. The front should be right around 1/32" to 1/16" shorter than rear.

    So weird. I just sat down after spending the last 3 hours doing alignment on our train wheel bogie assemblies. They all gotta be 1mm toe in adjusted by the tension of the side guide wheels using shims. And their are 14 of them to do per train.

    @4x4Banger do this to the rim lips on the front wheels. The front should be about 1/32" shorter than behind the rim. Use the adjustment on your steering arms. Equal turns on both sides so your steering wheel doesn't go sideways. It is a little hard to measure on the tires.

    To be an engineer sounds like it would be pretty interesting work there. Get to use expensive parts. Come up with crazy designs that are different.

    Only go over there if they need help when it breaks. It's one of the rides that has a dedicated maintenance crew just like screamin so they don't need help very often.

    Good to know. I wouldn't mind jumping to a different company. I'll dust off my resume.

    Hey guys, I need help planning out a Vegas trip. Basically just asking if anyone knows of a cheap hotel on the strip. MOTEL 6 is cool, but it's a little walk. Any help is appreciated.
