find the smallest deep cycle battery you can

by going with a smaller battery it make's it easier to put in with less mods to be done

this is so DUALLY SCENE we went from cewing a guys ass about dually wheels to building hot rod power wheels in 3 pages

hey not to change the subject but any one want to know how to over ride the govener on a gas golf cart with zip tie's

what you can do as well is take so like six point headed screws and put into the back tires and it will get better traction in the grass and dirt and will also throw some cool sparks on the concrete when they take off

To get back to the dually wheel issue...I can get wheels milled down and my cost is $300 bucks a wheel. I can also get USED 22's for $200 bucks each...nicely polished for 250 bucks, looking brand new.

So for a set of 4 my cost is $2000 bucks. Not too outrageous cause I trust the guy that does my machining...very labor intensive...and people are rolling in these things. I was over on s10 forum and saw this guy with some 22.5's with low pro-s stretched to hell over them. He seems like a cool guy, just I hate to think he may get hurt rolling in that thing.

Plus no one else in the surrounding area will touch 22.5's with a ten foot pole. So over in the states where they are on every street corner I don't get why the cost is soo high.

But then again, the cost of NEW 22.5's are $500 bucks each here...so add in machining and mark up, and you get the idea.

Gotta pay to play I guess.
