Ok.. so the tire mounting didn’t go as planned. I had looked it all over and had a good plan of attack.. I ordered some tire spoons and bought some bead sealer and valve stems and dish soap. Well, apparently I had a brain fart. I was tired and about half sick and when to mounting the tires on the rims one night. Got them all on and realized. “You dumbass!!” I used my fancy new spoons to mount the tire like a normal wheel. I didn’t realize until I had finished all 4 and picked up the bead ring that it dawned on me what I had done. So I called it quits that night and finished them last night by adding the rings and torqued them down. I didn’t however add any antisieze like I had planned but I’ll go back and add some tonight one by one so I can save myself some torquing.

We all have those...thats about how long it has taken me to do mine.
I have given up on anything holding air, other than my wife, yea, yea! You can't hold me hostage over that statement, a lot of friends have tried, issue is I have already had the conversation/battle with her on all fronts and DAM she win's most of them! HA!

I know this should go on the other thread but it sounds like someone we all know. Give a listen and guess who...

I’ve been hating someone asking me this. Not this year but absolutely next! It was a lot but well worth it for what we came out of it with. Been a long road that’s slowly smoothing out and I can’t wait wait to ride with our friends again it’s killing me but it was never about the destination or terrain it was about the experience and friendships.

It’s not about the destination... it’s about the journey!! ~ The @Kilo427

Lol.. just a dumbass moment and I wasn’t thinking. Everything went smooth last night. Took about 30 minutes per wheel to set the ring and bead.
If it makes you feel any better, I went riding the other day with my brother and noticed my whip lights quit working, I thought oh well I'll figure it out later. I got home and checked the wires and some how or another when I ran the wires I litteraly looped it around the drive shaft some how. I guess I wasn't paying any attention, couldn't see, tired, or beer, don't know probably all three. Luckily when it ripped the wire out it didn't rip out the whole entire switch panel. Lol. Something I learned from all this is when you have extra slack in your wires under the hood don't bundle them up all together and put big zip ties around all of them. If you snag one wire it might pull all of them out all together.
