Updated picture of my K5

I know I don't get on here very often so I figured I would post a pic of my latest project.

This entire weekend was spent in my garage getting my K5 ready for this summer.

Yesterday I installed my Aussie locker in my D44 with new wheel joints, bearings and brakes.

The wheels are 15x10 chrome spokes painted black. The plates are the rim strengtheners sold by DIY4x. I got these put on today,
I have had the rims done for a few weeks, I just now got around to mounting tires and getting them on my K5.

I like those rims! They look pretty sharp

Thanks. I ordered them last fall after I bent the **** out of one of my wheels when we were wheeling at the Kansas Krawl. I blew that tire and broke the valve stem off another within a minute of each other teetering on a ledge on Driveshaft Hill at Tuttle Creek.

I forgot, to balance the tires I used Counteract balancing beads. 8oz. per tire. I haven't had it past 25 yet, but it rode smoother at 25 today than it did last week.
