5 tyres on rims thru eBay for $400

My Cruiser had new retreads when I got it.
Tuesday one of the retreads de-treaded @ 110kph :/

Shopped around & opted for a used set one bloke was selling as he wanted bigger 33" tyres.
These are the common 31"

The damaged one.

Did you damage you car AGman? It happened to me years ago on my XB and I ended up with a massive hole in my boot when tyre disintegrated.

Hoping the bead scoops are strong and small enough to get into little spaces. If not they only cost just over $1 each so no dramas!
Also bought a bucket and a hanging pot plant tub to make a bucket classifier. Got them from the reject shop and planning on just drilling some more holes in the pot plant tub and attaching a handle of some sort :)

okay thats not true . without running the tapemeasure over it i think i dont think it will fit.

( didnt really buy it . that was just for comedic content . honest )

they couldnt even get 6 grand for that engine

4000 horsepower and it will probably be scrapped

bloody good boat engine but will it fit in the tinny .... ?

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up. I am planning a bunnings trip in the near future. Just been too tired after work the last couple of weeks to detour there on my way home. Working in retail leading up to xmas things get a little crazy :/
 
got my new 50 foot galvanized wire rope ladder from these guys http://wireropeladders.com.au/
ordered Thursday arrived today from qld :) going to feel alot more secure taking this with me into the mines.

I got the bloke to load test the rungs for me, 816KG the rung started to bend but the crimp didn't break :) bloody 16kgs but well worth it i reckon.

true.

are you going to make a spreader bar for the top so you can run a rope to the nearest tree ?

Only ripped off the mud flap & marked the paint. Stopped quick smart as soon as I felt a problem.
