Finally got the new tire machine delivered today. Going to get it setup on Tuesday. Got the low profile assist arm with it as well that also needs to go on.

Nice looking machine! That would be nice to have access to! Last year when I traded a guy my 33's for 35's the tire shop charged me $100 for mounting and balancing, that would be nice to be able to mount your tires yourself!

It is very nice to have access to a machine. I help a lot of my friends out and mount and balance their stuff for free. It's crazy what these shops want for mounting and balancing.

Thanks buddy. The kids were all taking pictures of it today with their phones. They couldn't get over how good it looks. Sits so high too. 3" higher than mine in back and about 1.75" higher in front.



Who knows on the timing chain. Dope smoking is legal in CO now, maybe that's why they missed it. Haha

It had to be making horrible noise when running too!!

I have seen them bed liners usually do more harm then good and feel the same way. Would be a great idea if someone pulled it out every once in awhile to clean under it. Same with the side panels. They need to be pulled and cleaned behind of them. That is why you see the rusted out beds just at the center of the body line in front of and behind the wheel wells.

Truck looks great with the bed on and the tire machine would be so handy to have. Looks like a good one.

I have too Terry. I usually opt for a spray in liner, if I can afford it, over the plastic ones.

Hopefully the machine gets hooked up today and we can start using it.

Today, they are working on getting the rear harness out of the 2wd and swapping it into the 4wd truck and making any adjustments that we need for wiring purposes.

Also trying to run fuel lines and finish up brake likes on the rear so we can finally bolt the bed down.

We are also going to make our own driveshaft, as I cannot find one that we need at the moment.

Man that last pic made me realize how much I actually need a chop saw, lol. It takes forever using a 4 " angle grinder to cut stuff!

Nice job converting your students over to be future YotaTech memebers, ha, ha.
