Only one gas can. You should add another just to be safe

Pulled all 4 tires, removed beadlocks, vacuumed all balancing beads, installed beadlocks, retorqued 200 bolts in 3 increments, installed tires.

They are getting rebalanced tomorrow.

Fun factor: -9 ugh!

Guess the balancing beads not work out? How much weight did you have in each tire?

They will go back in. My weights got ripped off over the last few trips and it is too much for beads to compensate. About 8oz in each. I like to initially balance with weights and let beads do the long term dynamic balancing as tires wear.

^^^^^^ oh, and what he said Big Grin

If you could add a pickup in the bottom of the can and hook it to a fuel selector, that'd be sweet! no need to get out of the truck...

Fwiw- i have never run out of gas. It has always been either my system vapor locking or my stupid pickup starving at extreme angles.

I am confident i fixed the vapor lock issue by removing the return line routing through the accumulator. One day i would like to run an in tank pump or the walbro pickups to fix the other half of the problem.

Until then, i still run the risk of
starvation at extreme angles but i will never run out of gas!

Front tow hitch and steering stabilizer installed thanks to a more skillful friend.
Next, remove ugly NC4x4 sticker and find some 31 A/T tires.....

Hitch is bolted, three #8 on each side, not welded, per CB4x4 instructions.
