I DD the Jimmy for a year. As a work truck.
I just have a cold and im complaining.
The wheel balancing thing is bugging me.

mark your tires/rim with a paint pen, we did this with slicks at the track to make sure they weren't spinning on the rims.
I wonder how effective those airsoft bb's are.. or have you just not had them balanced yet?
I don't know about anyone else but I've never been able to get a true balance out of any tires over 33". We do get them close that they wear well on my DD.
they kick ass
They work fine every time I get them balanced. Go to the dunes and come back, weights are still all on, but had one 12oz out the last time. He ripped all the weights off, re balanced, and was nice and smooth.
Go to dunes, repeat.
I didn't think the water heater would have enough oomph to spin them in the tire, but maybe at 10 psi, it is a possibility?

Have you tried airsoft BBs yet?
It sucks when you break them down but slime works awesome. I run a half gallon in each of my 42s.
dammit man
10,000 ct bucket of .20g airsoft BB
cut 4 ways
dump in tires, don't do ANY weights, they just get in the way later
be happy
all I've ever done 4 years running 38s and 37s.
New 40s will have them too but probably 3,000- 3,500 each
And yes, I'll bet the bank the rims are spinning.
Also, de-fang the fenders and fix that exhaust. I'll also bet the bank you'll enjoy driving it more. (and I'll enjoy looking at it more)

Then fix it, you don't hafta live with crummy exhaust. Crummy exhaust is not the norm.
Im going home and going to bed. So that I can hopefully get up and go to work so I can go home and go to bed tomorrow.
Maybe ill try some things this weekend if im feeling better.
I would like to redo the exhaust, but I still have not figured out what I want to run. I hate cackly flowmasters, maybe ill do the thrush welded ones. Nothing will ever sound as good as open supertrapps in my brain. They were by far my favorite.

Beadlocks.....Will solve tire slip....Won't stop the shaking.....But you look to cool to care.
Id love some method beadlocks. They are the one wheel I would be willing to ditch the hub caps for.

Dude, those are pure sex.
I like the looks of their 101s........I think you should go with the forged....To be $950.00 worth of cool.
It wont happen unless I found some used cheap.
Id rather have more tools and a house/shop.
