Rubber lots more Rubber!

They came! The Tires are here! I am going to have to get things done now! I have tires to install and a truck to put back together. I searched eBay for a split rim tool I had found a few. I debated for a while if I needed one. After I got the tool three minuets after opening the box I decided I should have bought one in the beginning. This tool is awesome and a major help taking the rims apart and putting them back together. Now in no way does the tool make rims any safer they are still very dangerous. So I also had a small accident with the rear end. Just after I finished painting the rear end, I decided to rotate the third member so it was pointing down. As I rotated it one of the axle tubes had some clear coat over spray and it stuck to my rag on the jack stand. As my eyes bulged out of my head I watched the rear end fall off one side of the jack stand and smash on to the floor! ( I cried.) My "I'm going to let this down before it accidentally fell", made it fall. I had to heat and bend back the backing plate that got bent. That ruined my beautiful paint job. But lesson learned, tears shed and pride hurt. I can fix it. Whats a few more hours of paint and body work.
