My cracked Countersteer Offroads..

Making this thread in hopes that other Countersteer owners will take the time to inspect each of their rims for cracks. I would hate to hear about a catastrophic failure occurring.

These wheels have been on my Tacoma since early 2009 I believe. They have a lot of dirt time under the belt and have also towed my crawler on a 16' trailer many, many times.

 

Ouch, looks like you put em through the ringer alright.

 

They've been to the far side of the mall parking lot and back one or twice for sure..

 

​

 

Yea, I'd wager those are toast.

 

Until the duct tape is applied, we can't be too sure.

 

one of the cracks was hidden under the finish and was exposed after removing some of it off.

 

I dunno man, think that'd hold? I was gonna suggest JB weld, but that sounds like a lotta work.

What're you going to replace them with?

 

They have been replaced with another manufacturer.

 

You tube says both for optimal results

 

I’d wager that’ll happen to any cast wheel over 9 years of constant abuse.

 

damn i gotta inspect mine next rotation. i have the Six Shooters.

 

That's nothing that Fiber Fix won't take care of.

I wanted to try JB Weld with a beer can sleeve ziptied to each spoke as a reinforced gusset type structure.

 

so uh..I have 4 "slightly used" rims for sale real cheap...

 

I'm inspecting all 5 of mine this weekend

 

that's fixable fer sure

 

What brand beer?

 

PBR has blue ribbon strength, hard to beat

 

Gotta be Steel Reserve for strength
