Been after this one again lately. I recently bought a new gun safe from Winchester, and being some 400 pounds it had metal skids bolted to the bottom so it could be moved with a forklift. I think I’m going to use that material to make the fairlead plate and winch mount. With that taken care of, I’ll just need to get a wiring kit.

Do you carry on you in a holster, or do you use a handlebar mounted holster, or tuck it in your rack bag/saddle bag? And why? if I was riding a trail system I would keep it on my hip, but if I was on my farm I would probably keep it in a handlebar holster. Just curious to see what everyone else thinks.

I don’t really know yet, not really sure what something is worth if it’s not being produced anymore.

I probably should keep it, I’m not getting any younger.

What do they go for? I bought a new one for my big bear way back when, but I don’t remember how much it was.

I had some wheels, traded them off. Still got these if someone wants them, I’m tired of looking at them. I was thinking about trading the 424 off my rancher for everything needed to put it back to factory….

I’ve found everything I needed, this thread can be deleted if need be.

It seems to shiny, like the original one is a little bit duller. But maybe I’m being persnickety, four slightly shiny rims will be better than two silver and two black lol.

Well, got around to busting the front tires off the rims. Played around with some paint I found on the shelf today, hit one of the spare front wheels with a wire wheel and sprayed a coat on really quick just to see how it came out. It’s a bit too shiny I think, the picture doesn’t really show the paint mismatch. I’ll let it bake in the sun tomorrow and see how it comes out. I think I’m gonna mount the mud lites up on these spare wheels, and keep them in the corner just in case.

Decided to start breaking down the from 589’s. Went to start the truck to do the whole park on the 2x6 again and…. Click click click. Battery is completely gone. Good thing that tax refund hit this week. Sigh.

So I took part of your advice, I’m selling the tires and keeping the rims. Spent more time with the tire irons yesterday knocking the rear tires off the rims. Gonna put that cash towards, I don’t know tools, gun parts, something. Truck needs a battery and wipers, and a door lock fixed too. There’s always something to fix. I think I’m gonna break down the two front Titan 589’s too, keep those rims and toss the tires. That way I’ll have a full set of spare rims if I ever fine the deal of the century on another set of tires. And then I’m gonna throw the tire tools in the creek out back.

Yea, that’s true. They won’t cost me anything stacked up in the corner of the shop I guess.

So what you’re saying is, with 12” rims and the 24x10-12 size being common, there’s no real reason to hang on to the 11” rims?

Out of curiosity, what is a common 12” rear tire size? Thinking about selling the mud lites and 11” rear rims, but looking to the future for replacement tires, what would be a common tire size? 24x10-12 to match the 24x8-12 fronts? I’ll probably just stay with 25’s from now on, but just curious.

It’s a 2002 Toyota RAV4, 4 cylinder auto. I put a new radiator in it and then immediately after it started blowing motor oil from where the transmission and motor bolt together. It’s front wheel drive, so it’s mounted sideways. I can see where oil is pooled up but not sure where it’s coming from. Maybe a sensor is leaking.
