Chaos in the Shed! Tire swaps and junkyard finds
It's time to catch up on projects in the shop. Tires are getting swapped around, we had to modify some tools for the task at hand. Hang out for a while and you will see some insight into projects that are coming down the line.

Dude your doing great progress not perfection. We all love yah. Still being you and that’s all that maters . Tip share :). All The tire swapping you’re doing. I’ve been doing a liquid balance and it’s epic. I mount tire, air up tire normally. Take a normal water bottle 16-32oz insert a piece of vacum or fuel hose into bottle: air tire way down , remove valve core. Slide hose into bottle which is filed with RV anti freeze so it’s environmentally friendly and cheap as heck. Once hose is in bottle of fluid simply jack the tire up. As it takes shape it pulls fluid into tire because of vacum. It’s magic I use About 16oz on a 33-35 and around 24-32 oz on 37” it was only way I could get my military Goodyear’s to balance and since then I’ve done it on a few sets and beat part is you can’t mess it up cause it uses centrifugal force like beads but a 10th the cost :) and also if you have a tire way out of round . Use a table top style Belt sander . Jack up a tire slowly turn it against belt sander obviously big bench style not hand held . Go slow with some 36 grit and she’ll be round. It’s only way I’ve figured out how to make some of these tires usable .

Seeing you swap out all of those tires remined me of a good friend of mine from high school back in the 70's. He got a summer job at a tire store called Mark C. Bloom. His older sister stopped by one day to see how things were going,. She said his job must be pretty hard to do because according to her you had the weight of the rim, the weight of the tire and the 35 lbs. of air in the tire. Yes she was a blonde for real. Sadly we lost him about 5 years ago. He was a heckuva guy. He told me once that if I was anymore laid back that I would be dead and I told him Thank You. I miss a lot.

Your camera work and audio is fine for me, second my vote for Louis is to turn it into the ultimate overland offroad vehcile. So many people buy those $500k and up earth roamers, I say build one that can go rock crawling and mudding, and camping, and where ever you want to go. Bob the bed, leave the bed, make a whole new bed customized for holding alot of camping gear with built in roof top tent holder that is lower to frame. The sky is the limit

If you have at least two trucks that use the same bolt pattern, or maybe more trucks that do, and have similar back spacing , that would make it easier to just unbolt and bolt wheels. Maybe when you build vehicles, take wheel swap-ability into consideration when building.
