We are still going but at this time I will not be bringing the Jeep.

Still have not figured out what to do about the back tires.

Just tighten up the lug nuts with a bigger socket wrench than you used at the Badlands...... seriously, it was like a 8 inch handle....

I do not think that will do it.
The surface area on the back of the rims is not flat.
My spacer/adapter is not large enough to span the gaps, so there is not enough of the spacer sitting flat against the rim.
I will tell you about it at Flat Nasty.

Did I miss something? Was there some kind of spectacular wheel departure from Tom's Jeep at the Badlands that was not in the damage report post? Do tell!

Is it better to have a hard top or a soft top at Flat Nasty?

I would go with the soft top.

No just a wobbling wheel.

It would just be a matter of preference. Performance wise it makes no difference at all. Sometimes you might want to lean out and see where your wheel is at, which way can you see it better?

Thanks for the offer Bob, but they need to have a outer diam. of at least 7.20 inches.
Mine and probably every other one is around 6 1/2 inches.
I have been in contact with a company that can make me the correct one.
I will order it tomarrow and when I get them I will update my post on weld on beadlocks.

So Tom, are you still going jeepless?

TSEJEEPERS · Post by **TSEJEEPERS** » Wed Mar 27, 2013 8:50 pm

Taking the Commander does that count?

Yea that counts.

Strange, I haven't had any problems with my spacers.

Looking forward to seeing video of Tom wheeling the commander while Sally looks on in horror...

I know it is last minute, but Dave and I will be coming down on Friday and plan on leaving on Sunday. We made our own sleeping arrangements. Hopefully, we will be able to join everyone for dinner Friday night, but with such late notice, we may be on our own. We will be riding in Dave's black Jeep. Mine is still waiting on parts....over 3 weeks so far!!!!

See everyone there,
Shannon
