Got new Skates for the Yota WOOT!

Holy hell this IS the best purchase I have done so far.

WOOT WOOT
These things rock. got them off E-BAY. I can move my truck any where in the garage I need to. And they work with 35"x 12.5 tires now I need some stock size tires so the baest won't rub the garage door

Anywho I am psyched the project 'moves' on

Excitement over, carry on

Cool! Heh heh... makes easy work of tasks like changing oil... instead of sliding your self under, just lay on the ground and slide the truck OVER you! heh heh... Naw, I think that's a cool idea. Good for if you have your truck jacked up and you just want to roll the tires out...

NAWW with these I can slide/push the wholetruck over and give myself room to do the simple stuff on DD1 and DD2 like oil changes and other routine maintence. If you saw my garage you would understand why I got the skates.

Here is one before the skates, I took the bumper off to paint it black

Here is the inside, i was useing a hammer and a scrapper to get the sound deadner off of the floor ( 1 hour)

This is a lot easier when an air hammer is used!


Now i have to figure out how to get the glue off and use the roll on bed liner,

I also saw them on Trucks but those had jacks built into them and they are pricey.

Those would be fun to put on the rears only with the ebrake on, front driveshaft only, in a big open parking lot. Talk about donuts!
