Clampy on 44's

All I wanted to do was clean up the shop.



I had these 4 44-inch Super Swamper TSL tires in my shop from the big mud tire test, and I had 4 16.5-inch mag wheels.  I decided they would look great on Clampy so I got them mounted on mag wheels.  Then as I was installing them I realized I needed special mag wheel lug nuts.  I drove around town until I found them.  The only one's I could find were for a 9/16-inch lug stud, and Clampy has 1/2-inch.  No problem I wanted to upgrade anyway.  I went to buy lug studs and they were on back order.  by now I'm on day 3 of the shop cleanup project .   In the end it took me all week to clean up the shop because it involved tearing apart and rebuilding my front and rear hubs at the same time.  ridiculous.

by the way, yes they do rub a bit, but now I have my very own 4cylinder monster truck.
