Damn what’s story on photo with Jerry trying to keep the rig from flopping ? Looks awesome - wish had been able to join.

Working on chromoly axles and a regear next weekend . Slowly prepping for 37s

Yeah, that photo was taken as it was pretty much back under control. That right rear was over 4' in the air before Jerry grabbed it. We chalked it up to not enough flex with the currie anti-rock...and a bad line.

Also random question.. any good shops near LA that mount and balance beadlocks ? I think I heard ORE in Fullerton will do it .

Tucker Tire in Covina will do it.

Just mount them yourself and drive it to see if it needs a balance. My local America's Tire (AKA Discount Tire) wouldn't mount, but had no problem balancing them. There was a local shop in Hesperia that would have done it all for me but they wanted $50 a tire. No thanks.

$50 a tire is cheap.

Don’t have the space or the time to do the job . Already get shit for wrenching at the apartment haha . Would rather save weekend time for wheeling

$250 is money well spent IMO lol

I think Tucker Tire charges $50 per wheel to mount and balance. I happily paid that.

That was also new rims and tires no breaking the old ones down. I'd rather have the extra $250 in my pocket....[emoji6]

Becker tire in Anaheim mounted and balanced mine for $25 a wheel when I went to beadlocks. The $25 included pulling the tires off the old wheels.

Just called Johnny down at Becker . He said they changed their policy and it’s now 50 per wheel — which is reasonable .

ORE has the awesome buy 4 get 1 free deal going but their charge 125 per tire plus 30 to remove them from stock rims..

Looks like Becker is a good option since it’s right down the street from ORE

Not surprised they changed their price. Hard to keep the doors open on $125 in labor for 8 hours of work. Either way, $50 per wheel is still money well spent.

Just picked up the KMC machetes off the 5 for 4 deal from ORE . They are a strong contender for the install

Nice. I'd still look into doing the install yourself...haha. I'm sure there is someone on here who is close and could offer up the garage space.

Are you going straight to 37s or putting your 35s on beadlocks?... I'm in the south bay a couple weeks per month and I've got a garage. I wouldn't mind giving you a hand.

Dave, thanks for the generous offer of garage and time . This time I’m planning on removing my 35s which only have about 2500 miles and mounting them . Will shoot you a PM to discuss
