CHIEFWAHO Posted July 20, 2015 Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 My uncle and I spent most of Saturday mounting up some new steer tires and polishing up the wheels. Lot of sweat and a little blood into the polishing. Turned out pretty decent. Dad is taking them to get balanced today. 1999 Volvo VNL610, Cummins M11 - 350/400 HP, 10 speed Rockwell - 'CHIEF' Custom flatbed with TrailerSaver air hitch. 3 cyl 8000 watt Kubota diesel generator.

CHIEFWAHO Posted July 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2015 Sweet!! Those look good. What kinda tires did you go with? Off brand Chinese, KORYO (by Longmarch) K216 all position 295/75R22.5 Price was right and we were able to pick up (no tax or shipping). They look good, time and miles will tell. I'm sure they will dry rot before we wear them out. 1999 Volvo VNL610, Cummins M11 - 350/400 HP, 10 speed Rockwell - 'CHIEF' Custom flatbed with TrailerSaver air hitch. 3 cyl 8000 watt Kubota diesel generator.

CHIEFWAHO Posted July 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Where are you staying in Beuna Vista? I will be attending the All 4 Fun Jeep run Aug 2 thru 7 The event head quarters / campground is at 27095 County Road 301, Buena Vista, CO. It is just a field, my understanding it is about a half mile from the KOA. Plan to run Hwy 400 thru Kansas and then Hwy 50 to Canyon City, probably catch Hwy 9 from there. 1999 Volvo VNL610, Cummins M11 - 350/400 HP, 10 speed Rockwell - 'CHIEF' Custom flatbed with TrailerSaver air hitch. 3 cyl 8000 watt Kubota diesel generator.
