Yea I’ve lost my fair share of hair to starting fluid lol. Got the rear tires and wheels off while I was waiting on that bead to break. It’s been 2 hours and I’m still waiting. Gonna leave it there over night and see what happens.

One I rebuilt is up for sale boys!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/470140486464709/permalink/3426125337532861/?mibextid=W9rl1R

Did mine just like that..... grabbed a couple beers sat on the corner of the hood... and waited...took about 15 mins but now i left out something... i was breaking down those stock h-track tires the 86 trx350 came out with... paper thin....didnt hold my my truck up like that one your dealing with....you do know about using starter fluid... i know what happened to me the 1st time i tried that.... does the word q-ball ring a bell ? Haha ......yup i blowed myself up over that one..... went to the girl friends for supper.... when i walked she looked at me... i laughted and said dont ask...this is another reason tire discussion is NOT on my list of favorite things to talk about.... several times ive ended up blad for some stupid reason or another.......

Got the Toyota radiator swapped out today so I figured I’d mess with the tires some. The tire thread post above gave me some more tricks to try. Currently have my Titan with the 5.6 v8 parked on the tires with a 2x6. No luck yet.

Got the 12” rims home yesterday. Got both front tires on the rim, one seated and bolted back on. The other front tire is fighting me on seating the bead. Started to break down the 589’s from the rear rims, and this is not going to be fun. They are 26x12’s so they are already tight against the beads, so I’m going to have to get creative to break them down. Got a radiator to swap out in my Toyota today so there probably won’t be any progress on the tires.

Thank you... ill tell ya another fellah that could give ya some advise on dipping and thats @m_quick i believe he did some sport wheels in black.... see if he shows up, he should.. nascar season is up and running and hes one for going to Bristol ... which is coming up 3-17-24 (this coming sunday) ... anyways ... i do believe if you do a search type in plasti or plasti-dip also elasti or kote or wrap .... some info in those post that should pop up....trick that ive tried... is shooting it close (tip to surface) 5-6 inches away.. with very quick passes.. and and for me ive found best 8-10 mins between semi wet coats.. or much more time between cured coats.... im sure the way i do it is probably wrong according to the guys at Link

Well we all know my number of working brain cells is getting pretty low in number
