I like that flat black rim...give it a few coats and you'll be alright...for a while.

 

are tires harder to put on the wheels when they are cold, cus this second one doesn't wanna go on for

If I wait it's gonna rain this afternoon I know it.

Oh yeah no dang dish liquid in the house either. And the diluted with water crap aint workin so well either. First one went on so easy when it was in my basement. My arms are spaghetti from doing this over the past two days.

 

I would think a warmer tire is a bit more pliable and easier to contort. The dish is kinda a must, gots to make it slippery.
Bar soap might work???

.

 

hmmm,, maybe bodywash? I've seen wd-40 used, but not gonna use that stuff.

 

still a no go. Well I take back what I said about taking two days to mount tires. NOT GONNA HAPPEN BY MYSELF.

Oh yeah, BTW. It's 34 degrees out too. You guys liking that 70 degree office sitting on those phones? lol. Stressful? Try answering phones outside. haha J/K.

 

I don't mind, I have caller id so I don't usually answer my phone.

Take the tires inside and let them warm up some. Might help.

 

they are baking in th sun now that I got sun in my back yard. Picked up some dish liquid too. And I ran outta cigarette tubes too. Oh yeah, most of the time I roll my own smokes as well to save money. Girlfriend buys her own cartons from work. Cheaper than the store, but....

BTW: My back yard is a sea of tires as well. Of course she made a big deal about me cleaning it up too.

By the time I am done mounting this the rim isn't gonna look like I touched it with paint. LMAO.

 

A bit of soapy lube and squeeze them on!!

.

 

1 down, 2 more to go and then got to redo the one at Jerry's or figure a way to paint the wheel and not the tire. lol.

Got to at least unmount 1 more 31 for the wheel as well. 3 31's are still mounted though.

 

You better get a wiggle on it!!!

 

1 more to go, that rim is being painted now.

 

Tires, at least the important ones, mounted. Still have to do the spare yet and paint that other wheel that Jerry has at his house.

So Much easier with Dish Liquid. lol.

Note to self though, make sure valve stem is in wheel prior to putting tire on wheel.

 

Lookin good man!!!

 

They're not prefect, but certainly photo friendly. lol.

 

One more question before tomorrow. These Energy Suspension poly bushings came with two what I thing is grease tubes. Should I use those or my waterproof grease that I pretty much use on everything else as far as zirks and stuff go.

Energy Suspension FORMULA 5 Prelube

* Waterproof
* Non-Melting
* Contains Teflon
* It forms a tough, durable, chemical resistant film of lubricant
* Prevents Metal to Metal Contact even under severe shock loads
* Only a small amount is needed to properly lubricate bushings and metal components and to prevent corrosion


BTW, 3 33's, air compressor and most of my tools and Jerry's tools that I borrowed are loaded into the truck, ready to go down Jerry's.

 

I'd use what they supplied with the bushings since you know it is safe and will not turn the bushing to mush.

 

good point rob. Just wondering if my hi-temp/pressure grease would be better, but, like you said they supplied it with them so.....

 

Fair price? http://scranton.craigslist.org/pts/2247347741.html

 

hey....good job on the tires......glad i missed all the fun.

anytime after 9 is fine with me. coffee can be non-stop. done by noon eh? already got the "oh, so you aren't gonna get anything done tomorrow right?".....me.....right.

you got a sitter for the kiddo, right?

 

yeah girlfriend is going to the families up in montrose tomorrow and sunday, so if I have an "issue" I might be sleeping in the truck while I am there. lol. Maybe I should bring my tent too? hahahaha.
