Rockys New Shoes!!!


Recommended Posts

Thanks to Melis and someone from XT6.net ( themoneypit) I finally got the right rims and new tires for Rocky...What an amazing difference they made...his center of gravity is much much lower,handles 100% better....speedometer seems about accurate now and bestest of all..... No more shakey shakey!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: I suspected a bent rim and wheel off balance and possibly a tie rod...but it was just the rim and tire...OMG he drives so smooth and quiet now...feels like a completely different animal. I still have to clean up and polish the rims...but for the fantastic price they are so much better then expected... I am sooo happy..I am lovin this car even more now ( didnt think that was possible!!)

 

Anyway..small night time teaser.....one step closer to Carlisle....he's lookin like an XT6 again:

look at that...she can't even plow in front of bucky.... :-\

 

 

Yea Yea yea..I know ...going to clean the garage out and move stuff out enough to get Bucky inside to start ripping into his brake system..Hey..he needs a vacation anyway.;) .

 

I think I have about talked Moneypit into coming to Carlisle..told him if Bucky doesnt come I will let him use my other entry..plus I have the camp sight. When he gets back from vacation I am paying him to let me molest his parts car:eek:

 

I asked him if the white hatch was yours Jon...LOL thought I recognised it.

 

I will look for that stuff at walmart tomorrow..any other suggestions?

Oh, so his board name is themoneypit...I thought you were just mocking me :lol:

 

Try Brakleen and some fine-grained rubbing compound (going with the "grain" of the wheel). Worked great on my Motion alloys and on a set of XT6 centers. (If you need centercaps I have eight, let me know and they're yours.)
