Ridiculous!

The club needs your help over there.

The Hobby shop here won't hold anything over a 16" rim... I had to redneck seat the beads on 33x12.50x17's with a compressor that puts out the air pressure of a fart. Got it done though, the balancer goes up to a 20"... figure that out?

I wanted to put 33's on 15" wheel.
They wouldn't even let me try it.

In case the hobby shop doesn't want to mount something, I have a manual tire mounter in my shop.  I can mount any size tire that you want, as long as we can get it on there.  It is great for big tires since the side walls flex easy.  I also have the motorcycle attachment.  I don't have a way to balance tires, yet.  I have been looking at a static balancer, but it is a little ways down on my "tools to buy" list. 

Gearhead-So what do you need to do to the YJ to get it going?  I have owned a YJ for over 14 years now (that's 2 years more then R.J. has been alive) so I may be able to help.

Most of the tires I have put on can be Muscled onto the wheel... sidewall flex + foot/highlift/ratchet strap= mounted wheel.

Gearhead... I was talking about the Hobby Shop here in Italy, not the one on Subase... Never had the misfortune of trying to use that one. before I left the last one to use that one that I know of was Sandy... and he F#@$'d up his wheel trying to use it. He's the guy that used to run it before Rebel.
