29's? But of course!

What to do with the 8.5x10's? Keep em of course! For the most part, I think the 8.5x10's are going to be the tire for me, but time will tell. When I bought the Cleveland dbl pucks, it was cheaper (believe it or not) to buy an entire wheel/brake kit. Net net is I have a spare set of 6" wheels to keep the ABWs on. Swapping back and forth will be easy.

2" N #'s... Already on. Also changed the N#.

Paint her? Seriously????

That's what it gets for being a cat.

Lol

Almost there, man!

Tires are about 5.5" taller.... 8.5x10's vs/ 29" ABW. New shoes are 39.3 lbs ea. Ironically (from my previous notes) the 8.5x10's on AB 10" wheels are 42 lbs ea. I will weigh em when I remove em, but it looks like the weight savings continues....

; )

I know some of you think Im slacking and draggin this out... but the closer-er I get, the further-er I become. Annual is done, but bogged down with paperwork. The good news is I might be flying early next week! Dem bush tyres sure are big!

Looks awesome. Nice hub cap color. [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES]

Sure is nice to look at a nice new and clean panel, and it probably smells new too!!

Congratulations, this thread and your 170 thread are both inspirational. I wish I had your attention to detail.
