SCEADU Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 You can pick up a small tire machine at Northern tool for about $40. How big was the hole? couldn't you plug it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiftdT4R Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 how'd you get it? I could never get those broke driving on them. Only ever got it to work with a truck. Set it up so you run over as close to the rim as possible, but you dont want to actually run over the rim. SHould be easy with that beast you got. I was even able to do it easily with my Toyota with 30s. Trick is too, put down a blanket so you dont scrape up the rim on the asphalt if you miss it a little.

ban99 Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 a friend had one he made that fit under the nose jack on his toy hauler so as he jacked the trailer up it would put the full nose weight of the trailer onto the bead. worked great only down side is you needed to be hooked up to the truck.
