I'm sure someone will have a campfire in the next few months, let's see how well these things burn! Do you remember playing with magnesium ribbon in Chet's class? That crap burns BRIGHT!!!

Your's so helpful. I have read that they are a magnesium alloy, and are not as flammable as pure mag.

Maybe you should spend more time getting that grey goose flying again instead of playing on the internet, so that you can "try" to follow me on the trails this spring!

Thanks, I am going to give it a try with the sawzall tonight. Unless I decide to pick up some 12 bolts on the way home.

Later

I need some hummer rims. I will machine off the runflats for you for a good deal on some rims!

I only have one set right now. Thinking about going with some 12 bolts I found close to get the benefit of the thicker rim and the rubber runflat. I will make the decision today and let you know.

So what is the new build going to be? Going to us the truggy and just make some changes? Have you guys put together any kind of schedule of trail rides for 08'

Our 08 schedule will be decided tonight at the officers meeting. The rubber runflats are better? Are they lighter? If you know where I can get some rims let me know.

I am sure they would be heavier? Truggy on a diet? On the rubber, it just won't damage the tire when running low PSI or when tire is pinched against it? Also the outer rim of the rim is supposed to be stronger than that of the 8-bolts.

[94Dodge Truggy]

The 12 bolt rims are made for military use of a higher psi. rated tire and where a heavier load carrying capacity is needed. (I have been told) The less mass you are rotating the better. The more you can position weight where you need it the better.

These are my wheels I tried the sawzal route and found it to be a real pain. I came up with the whole saw trick and everything was much quicker and easier. I was doing it all by my self and it was a real pain to hold the run flats while cutting them. I did all my cutting outside the shop to reduce risk of fire in the future from all the shaving.

The hole saw trick worked awesome. Got some of the torch blades and cut away. Tonight, I got four wheels done except for some grinding.

Thanks for all the help. Worked out great
