MiNi Beast

X2

i know, but what would you use co2 on a truck for? mild air tools, airing up tires. C02 has a higher compression rate/ability than air, thus that small tank, if it's for C02 (which it loooks like it is) is the equivelent of 3 or 4 tanks of compressed air. for trail riding...air up tires, mild trail repairs using air tools. well aren't you the smart one! :nanner:

pretty much. I rolled the jeep and needed to keep it going as it was my DD, so found the windsheild and topper for $50, put the winsheild on and ran it. Was going to tube out the jeep and use the topper over the cage but the body was to shot underneath so just ran it out until I retired it and now I'm starting over. :thumbsup:

that good sir is a 76 full size Ford Bronco single hinge fold down windshield. like this one.... I had the top too. :rotfl2:

yeah an advance adapter sye new, paid $170.

Mounted my flag and packed up straps, taking the 2wd beast to rocks and Valley's.

That one has some mad flex though! :rotf:

Yeah that was the one I was looking for. :rotfl2:

looks to be a good base MJ. Remember a locked 2wd is as good as an open 4wd. How I wheelied for the first 2 yrs. :yes:

Got a little something else for the jeep today.

i see a nice manual in there. :rotfl2:

Your dog bought you lights??? :rotfl2: Sorry I couldent resist, can't wait to see pics with the new tires and wheels Umm I don't have a dog anymore gave it a way a while ago. It was to some and to sensitive, hard to play with. Old people got here now she is doing a lot better there then with my two kids. I was referring to a special little someone from whom I got them from :rotf:

Some new rock lights for the rig, thanks to a special little something I keep warm at night. ;)

MJ's are 5x4.5

My buddy has a set of 02 mustang 17'' wheels for sale, look kind of pretty on the jeep :yes: :brows: :yes:

Yeah I'm passed the point of DDing this thing. I will drive it to the trail though :yes: I do know there not dot approved. :shake: But thanks to street locks it is hard to tell what's real and not, and in MI inspection is not an issue like other places. :thumbsup: From some other sites on this issue...... The whole non-DOT approved wheel thing is a bit of a myth. DOT doesn't approve anything, the manufacturers do things to meet the DOT guidelines and that's pretty much it. In the case of wheels, if memory serves all that's required is that they state on the wheel itself the manufacturer's name and the load rating. That's it, if they have those things then they meet DOT guidelines. Manufacturers are afraid of consumers running beadlocks on the street because too many people are too dumb to realize that beadlocks require alot more work than regular wheels. You have to check the bolts pretty often, on some brands they need to be torqued before every trip, which gets pretty irritating. There used to be an open letter on the Champion Wheels website from the president of the company explaining this stuff. It looks like it may have come down, likely to protect the company from lawsuits when some dummy doesn't check the torque on his wheels. Show me a law from any state that says beadlock wheels are illegal and I'll happily admit that I'm wrong. To my knowledge no such legislation exists. They have to go through some inspection process and some other stuff to become DOT certified... rather a hassle to do.. When I asked them about running them on the street the guy said that a cop or whomever would have pull you over and look for a DOT sticker or stamp to prove that it wasn't OK... likelyhood of that happening?? zilch.. That's all well and good, I run Hummer beadlocks on my old truck and used to drive it on the street all the time with no problems either. Many people in my club run beadlocks on trucks that see occasional use on the road, but none of them use them as daily drivers, a beadlock is just not really suited to DD duty. I have a freind that ran Stockton beadlocks on his Blazer and popped bolts regularly, he had to retorque the bolts before every trip. Granted, the Stocktons were likely not as good of quality as the Walker Evans wheels; all I'm saying is, true beadlocks are an awful lot of hassle just to get the beadlock look. How many tire shops will mount tires to your beadlocks? Would you even trust a tire store to do it correctly? I wouldn't... If one's choices come down to a traditional chrome wheel and a beadlock wheel, chances are the looks of the wheels are the most important thing to the buyer. If the beadlock was required for the intended use then the traditional chrome wheel wouldn't even be an option. Look up the KISS principle.

So you are driving around without a prop valve? I was in the rear of the MJ, did not use the level load valve. I wasn't hauling wood either. :thumbsup:
