Wrestled some new drive tires on CHIEF this weekend.

Fortunate that my uncle has equipment and some know how for the job!

The old tires a little past due at 11 years old.  Were just starting to show some weather checking.

Got the new drives all balanced up.

It is a real chore getting these back on by yourself.

Inner goes on pretty easy compared to the outside dual.

The outside dual has to be darn near horizontal to drop over the hub.

Had use a ratchet strap to aid in this process.

Guess I did not bet pictures with the skirts and new lug nut chrome caps installed.

Getting ready to having things all ready for our trip to California this July.

We are pulling the Jeep Scramblers out to run the Rubicon Trail.

a pry bar under the tire does a world of good.
