Haha!! No, you weren't getting at that! You would have said it if you were! LOL you crack me up!

 

treadwrites mounted. Initial impression. They are quiet as hell. No drone at all on the freeway.

 

How did they balance?

 

That's the definition I know of... And it always holds true, but it's summer, it's awesome, and it's nicer than my other boat, with hella hours on it, which really won't get used now

 

I used balancing beads.

 

put a cork in it, i was tired when i wrote that....brat

 

Check it out y'all!

Custom fabbed tire swing out by Yodaman! Picked it up last week, just got done priming, painting and re-assembling.

I am SO STOKED with the overall product. The welds are amazing, the design is phenomenal, the fit and finish is second to none.

Larry, Paul and his crew over at the Yodaman shop in Santa Rosa are AWESOME. I basically just told Paul what I wanted done, and he took it from there. The end result FAR exceeded my expectations.

Started with my basic All Pro rear plate bumper.



finished product


Minus Roto's and Spare:


Swung out w/ fold down table:


SIICK fold down table. Solid piece of brushed aluminum, I had it anodized clear to show the brushing.


Self closing latch pin


Latch closure. Swing out rests on plastic piece, so weight is off the spindle.


Hardware


Roto setup.


Sticker says it all... 1 stop yota shop.

 

Looks really nice! What trail is that in the first pic?

 

How's the ride with those? I've thought of using those, but always worried they wouldn't work right. Looks like Wardens will be my next tire unless I can afford Hankooks.

 

That was part of the Sierra Buttes trail out of Sierra City. On the way over to Gold lake. There's a spur that leads up to the Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout, and we were headed up there, but about 1/4 mile up the road was blocked by a HUGE downed tree. had to do a sketchy turnaround

 

Nice! I love my swing out tire carrier. The drop down table is the perfect size for my stove and grill or just the stove and I have food prep room.

 

i have a slight vibe at 75-80. The guys at the shop where i got the alignment and mounting done said they recommend these to people who go offroad and run bigger tires. he said the balance will not be perfect but it will be good with them. and that using traditional weights its hit or miss if they would balance anyway. at least they gave me a discount because i brought in my own beads.

 

Looks awesome!

 

That's a great carrier! Table is nice touch too.

 

Had to show off mine too, they are really awesome for camping.

 

i gotta thank them, now i can go up there in my CRV..heeeeheeee

 

thing looks derp as hell

 

Please tell me the camera crew was up there filming the jeep for a commercial or some shit.

 

trail rated!! dam when is the TW rubicon trip>? lol
