Project apocalypto

Did you notice we got some snow in the hills? About 4" of fresh pow-

 

Yes…. Just waiting on my bumper to get finished up. Figures... I hope it sticks around for a bit.

 

Hey man where did you pick up those hummer beadlock wheels?

Sorry do you have the 8, 12, or 24 bolts one?

 

12 bolts. The eights would be fine for the weight of our trucks, but I'm pretty hard on stuff and went with 12's. Just to update my build, got some new BFG Baja's too, also from TWF-

 

What happened to the 4Runner????

 

Wife blew up the motor, sold it, and bought her this. (we installed the lift, I built the sliders, tuner motor 450HP, built trans, etc.)


I do miss having a 22RE around though...

 

I don't have them, but I will probably get a set when I am ready to step up to 37's. Username has the 12 bolt ones and I will probably get them as well.

 

24 Bolt.

 

How long does it take you to put a new tire on that wheel? haha

 

About 30 mins with an impact. About 31-32 days with hand tools. Those lock nuts are a bitch.

 

I don't know about you, but I had problems stripping out the studs when using an impact. There is so much force on an assembled wheel I had to loosen them by hand, a few turns at a time, to relieve pressure. Otherwise, they would strip out, even loosening in a star pattern. It took me two days to swap tires by hand. To make it extra fun, when I assembled them years ago I did so on fresh paint. The beads were frozen on. Tried a hilift between the halves, Hi-lift off my truck (would just lift the truck), sledge hammer, crowbar, spoons, etc. I finally grabbed a set of bead breakers off my bike in desperation and they came right apart.

 

Never had a problem with the H1's and an impact. They've had three sets of tires on them with no problems so far. Motion Pro makes some damn nice tools. Never seen those though. May have to get a set.

 

your truck. its epic. dude awesome build and i like how you presented the thread hahah "broke some stuff"

"broke more stuff"

 

Thanks man. I forgot some things too. Like how I got tired of rebuilding 4wd actuators and just converted the Tcase to manual shift using a boat shifter. Or the 2LO mod. Or my ammo can intake. Or the LED light bar and a bunch of other crap I've done to it but forget to update. Maybe I should one of these days.

 

I've got a 22R-E around you can work on if you like haha

Sub'd for the goodness.

 

Hahahaha ammo can intake! Classic!

I wish we were friend's .... But Glad we're not !!
We would have to start robbing bank's to fuel our Fun ... and just for more Fun !!
